Soldiers often contact me to update me on what they are doing for physical training. Their fitness training cycles usually vary a great deal from basic training to maintenance training while overseas or preparing to go overseas. Recently, in an Associated Press article that was featured at Today Online, many combat veterans are adding sprints, agility drills and core exercises to build a better-equipped combat soldier.

The USMC combat fitness test is the Marine Corps' answer to this growing need of combat-ready fighters. But if you are pre-training to join the military, here are some ideas for you to try to build a solid base of core strength, speed and agility before joining the military. Active-duty personnel seeking to create their own programs should consider adding these types of workouts into their regular PT programs as well.

士兵們經常與我聯繫，向我更新他們的體能訓練近況。他們的體能訓練週期通常差異很大，從基礎訓練，到駐紮海外或準備前往海外時的維持訓練都有所不同。最近，在《今日線上》刊載的一篇美聯社文章中提到，許多有戰鬥經驗的老兵正將爆發力、敏捷性演練與核心運動加入訓練中，以打造裝備與能力更佳的戰鬥士兵。

美國陸戰隊戰鬥體能測驗，正是該軍種為應對日益增長的具備戰備能力之戰士需求所提出的解決方案。但如果你正在為入伍進行預備訓練，這裡有一些建議可以讓你嘗試，以便在入伍前建立堅實的核心肌力、速度和敏捷性基礎。想要自行規劃訓練計畫的現役人員，也應該考慮將這類訓練加入他們的常規體能訓練計畫中。
