Military recruits are generally in basic good health when they first enlist. Also, they go thru physical exams when they enlist. Their exercise is monitored by trained professionals. I don't think TrippLA would be in the same situation.Heath said:TrippLA, To let you know, military recurits do physical calithensics for 18 hours a day and graduate from boot camp in 90 days. I have never heard of a military recurit die from a heart attack from too much excersice. I have heard of military recurits dying from deyhydration, not much water to drink all day.
Also, recruits DO die during basic training/boot camp, even with all those precautions. There have been deaths from heart attacks, heat stroke, dehydration, overexposure, exercise injuries, and drowning.
Maybe things have changed since I was in boot camp, but we never did 18 hours of physical exercise daily. We also attended classroom training on military history and regulations, NBC warfare safety, first aid, etc. We performed military duties, stood watch, cleaned barracks, did our laundry, shined shoes, etc.
My boot camp was nine weeks (63 days), not 90 days.
Maybe you're thinking about special forces training.
That is not a good system for weight loss.
