Tallmadge, Ohio – May 4, 2012 – This Memorial Day weekend, NZ Manufacturing, Inc. – a leader in high-quality resistance training and physical rehabilitation equipment – suggests striving to become both mentally and physically fit through high-level training and commitment, like that of a U.S. soldier.
Because a soldier’s level of physical fitness has a direct impact on his or her combat readiness, staying in peak physical condition is one of the main responsibilities of active duty military. A U.S. soldier must be mentally and physically prepared to cope with both the physical and psychological challenges of critical operations. Proper routine training helps them increase strength, build confidence and enhance overall resilience.
According to the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s “Training the Tactical Athlete,” being proficient in strength, power, stamina, endurance, agility and speed all at one time is immensely difficult. However, most members of the military are expected to perform these activities within a moment’s notice. They also meet specific weight requirements, and have the ability to handle physical scenarios in every type of climate, from enduring 120º weather in Afghanistan to adjusting to tight quarters on a ship or a high altitude on a plane. Our U.S. military is prepared for it all, and it’s their high-level athletic training that helps them do it.
If you’re considering a career in the military, you want to start getting into shape as soon as possible – at least 6 to 12 months before you’re scheduled to arrive at boot camp. While the average fitness level of incoming recruits is considerably low and the goal of basic training is to help them reach passing fitness standards, the instructors also have to teach job skills that will save lives. This training is very physical in nature, so having a strong physical base for several months – or even years – beforehand will be a significant benefit to you.
Of course, good physical fitness isn’t just exclusive to the military. Regular exercise can help everyone enjoy more productive lives. According to a variety of research, regular exercise enhances the quality of life, improves productivity, and brings about positive physical and mental changes.
