So, you know the targets that you need to meet. You know how much time you have to get fit for them. How do you go about planning a schedule to ensure that you're a) going to meet them or b) know you wont based on the time available given current fitness levels? If you were having to do specific tests (bleep test, for example), how would you mimic this if you didnt have the gizmo's etc?

I have been in the Army for 16 years. I was recently promoted to E-8, First Sergeant. I am a Deep Sea Engineer Master Diver, a Special Forces Combat Diving Supervisor, and an Army Jump Master. I was an instructor at the Special Forces Combat Dive School for 4 years and have been on operational Army Engineer Dive Teams for 9 years. I have trained elite Soldiers, traveled all over the world doing various missions, I have a Master's Degree in Exercise Science, and I have a NASM Nutrition Coach Certification. I have had an online fitness and nutrition coach business for over two years now. Training and helping people is what I do and what I love to do the most. I am here to help train future service members to have the most success in basic training and beyond.
