The Associated Press.
New soldiers are grunting through the kind of stretches and twists found in "ab blaster" classes at suburban gyms as the Army revamps its basic training regimen for the first time in three decades...............:cool::eek:;)

I really don't think that this is new news. When I went through about four years ago, the emphasis was definitely on core and bodyweight exercises, with more rucking than long runs and lots of shuttle runs, wind sprints, 60/120s, etc.

Yep - I'm hobbling around on bad hips and knees. There's a lot of PT we would have done smarter if we would have known. :lifter

I certainly agree.......... :cool: I remember when "squat jumps" were part of the daily dozen,then later heard that they were eliminated because they did more harm than good............ ;)
