Director’s Personnel Readiness Overview
Describe your current physical fitness training
I currently have given myself a goal of being able to complete a half-marathon and am training to accommodate that goal. I generally run 5-6 days a week on varying distances. Every other day will be a short run (4 miles) while the remainder of the days get increasingly further in distance.
What is your philosophy on physical fitness training
Generally, however, I am a supporter of a total body fitness regime. To be a better runner, a Soldier needs to build their core strength so that the legs and hip-flexors are less taxed. Likewise, a strong core helps to support the weight of the body during pushups, making the overall body function smoother. Everything works together. Having a full time career and being a mother to a young child, I understand the time constraints many Soldiers face but have also found a way to balance without sacrificing the most important elements.
How does your physical fitness philosophy fit into a unit training environmment?
Creating avenues of accountability for our Soldiers throughout the month will help keep them on track. Provide support by creating plans that focus on each Soldiers individual needs and connect them to other Soldiers who have similar support needs. Doing a little PT on drill weekends will not suffice - it as to be encouraged and supported in the time between in order to keep Soldiers ready.
