My feet hit the yellow footprints on January 5, 1987. I was Echo Company, Platoon 2005. My Senior Drill Instructor was SSGT Cavasos.

I was "alive" at least lol

I went to MCRD San Diego before some of the people on this board were born.

Your future...



You should run 3 miles at least every other day.

Unless it has changed, go run 7-10 miles per day and pay me $50/hour to thrash you.

Be sure to bring me a lawn chair, umbrella for my shade, and plenty of cold drinks (for me).

Yes, in the hook up thread I stated that I'll give 15% off to anyone from here.

You should buy Pros from us. We have exclusives on many of them.

This jump talk is crazy, then you recommend plyometrics? Most plyometric excercises involve jumping do they not. I guess I could've used better words. I don't mean just stand there and start jumping like a mad man. I guess plyometrics would've been a better word to use.

Agreed, I literally thought you meant a workout of nothing but squat jumps and jump rope. And plyometrics can mean alot but is probably exactly what you wanted to say.

This jumping talk is absolutey crazy. Good luck having knees left to walk on after jumping enough to lose appreciable amounts of weight. If anything do some plyometrics and maybe limited jump roping. Or as BJ said, do the stairmill if you must do that type of crap.

When the corpsman is giving you the "silverbullet" to get your core temp after you puke and fall out of a hike, be sure to tell your DI you practiced jumping before you got to bootcamp...

As for jumping versus running. One good thing that i would recommend that is kind of a cross of both of those is the stairmill. That is the stairclimber that looks like an escalator. It combines a couple of aspects of both running and jumping and it will definitely condition you. If you can get on it and do more than five minutes the first time you do it, you are doing well. I have combined it with running for years just to burn more calories. I'll typically run 3 miles then jump on it for 7-10 minutes.

The answer you seek can be found above!
I do it every day consistently and it has made a HUGE difference in my body structure.

[KBScobravert]

Ooor run, diet, portion control and give yourself more than three months to drop the weight. Better to hurt now and find out you are not in shape than to suffer those in boot camp.

But hey, some of us have been there.........

I think the OP is absolutely screwed. That is a lot of weight to lose. It will also take a stroke of good luck to not get shin splints or something else that impedes progress. I had shin splints for months after I started running.
