Whats The Best Diet Plan For Preparing For The Military?
I’m going to be going into the Coast Guard, and I have a good chunk of time to get in shape the healthy way. What I need to know though is what to eat, when to eat it, and how much exercise. I know it sounds like a lot, but this is my main priority and I’d really like to do it the right way.
Thanks!

Workout twice daily and include cardio for 60 minutes as the 1st workout with stretching and 2nd workout should be weights, endurance, ply-metrics, agility and balance.
Focus on a diff rent body part, but get each in weekly.
EX:
Day 1
am: Cardio- Run/walk
walk 5 minutes at moderate pace to warm up
jog 5 minutes
walk backwards for 5 minutes
run 5 minutes
(sprint 1 minute, jog 1 minute) repeat 3-5 x (time 6 minutes-10
minutes)
walk with high knees for 5 minutes and finish with a jog at moderate pace for remaining time
Stretch your spine in 6 directions which in turn gets Hamstrings, calves, quads, hips, back and sides of body and arms
Pm
treadmill for 8 minutes to warm up
Hack Squats 3 sets 10-12 reps
*weight should be heavy enough that the last rep is barely in proper form for all exercises
Lunges walking 3 sets 10-12 reps
Leg press 3 sets 10-12 reps
Butt blaster 3 sets 10-12 reps
Leg extensions 3 sets 10-12 reps
Leg curls (standing or lying) 3 sets 10-12 reps
(next leg workout add abductors and abductors eliminate extensions and curls)
Seated calf raise 3 sets 10-12 reps
standing calf raise 3 sets 10-12 reps
* pick a different exercise and do lighter weight with higher reps 25.
keep good form
do some core work
6 sets working either obliques as sidebends or twisting or abs (rectus abdominus) lower abs and or lower back.
You have 27 muscles that make the core train a different group each exercise.
Day 2 same cardio am
pm Chest and Anterior Deltoid and Triceps
Day 3 cardio am
pm back, posterior deltoids and Biceps
Day 4 cardio am
pm mix it up, balance, agility etc
shoulders, neck, forearms, and hand strength.
Diet
Keep it simple and plain
1 1/2 gram protein for each pound lean body weight
triple that for carbs
1/3 of that in fats
protein builds
carbs are energy
fats hunger control and 2ndary energy
lots water and a good multi vit 2x daily and (Omega3 1000 mg 3x daily
helps with inflamation from all the exercice)
Eat healthy. They certainly serve wholesome food-but no junk food. In basic training, you eat what you’re given–and I don’t remember it not being bad at all.
Are you overweight? Are you out of shape? (How old are you?)
Exercise program to do now–you can start running (start slowly at first)–and increase the distant as you can tolerate.
After you’re finished with basic training, you’ll have your choice of what you want to eat. I lived on base for my first three years, and I kept my weight down from not eating junk.
