USNA Summer Seminar Virtual Morning PT with Stew Smith

This year was a first for many of us. The first of many virtual anythings took place this year and the Naval Academy Summer Seminar program was no different. Normally we do these workouts with 800 high school students (candidates) for three sessions of Summer Seminar on a big field all counting loudly in unison, but this year was different but my workout was not.  Here is what we did:

Here's the answer for solving this issue with Crushing the PT Test once and for all. If you really want to serve your country and community, this the PFT Bible book or ebook as it is updated with the latest PT test changes lays it all out for you!

What makes the PFT Bible so versatile that you can use it for many of the tactical professions?  Well, most PT Tests involve pushups, situps / crunches or plank poses, and running.  Some will also have pullups as well as shuttle runs or sprints.  This program is specifically designed to help people with the most standard PT Test around:  Pushups, Situps / Crunches, and 1.5 mile timed runs.  BUT it also incorporates short distance running, plank poses, pullups, and even leg tucks (knee ups) to add to a more well rounded training program. 

Check it out here the EBOOK or the BOOK Version and get started today and if you are considering the Army, make sure you prepare properly for the new fitness test as it will no longer be pushups, situps, 2 mile run after 2020.
