Navy Physical Readiness Program (PRT) Update

Two new fitness events have been incorporated into the Navy Physical Readiness Program, which improves the physical readiness of Sailors in alignment with the Culture of Excellence.

 

Forearm plank

The forearm plank will replace curl-ups as the abdominal muscular endurance assessment. The forearm plank is a functional exercise required in 85% of shipboard tasks involving pushing, pulling, lifting, and carrying. Training for the forearm plank strengthens the core, improves posture, and reduces the risk of sustaining lower-back injuries throughout a Sailor's career.

 

A video that demonstrates the proper form and testing procedure for the forearm plank is at https://www.dvidshub.net/video/773312/us-navy-plank-cfl-acfl-training-official or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPVKhj3dudA&feature=youtu.be.

 

2,000-meter row

 

A 2,000-meter row on the Concept-2 Rower serves as another alternate cardio option in addition to the 12-minute stationary bike, 500-yard/450-meter swim, and 1.5-mile treadmill run.

 

The 2,000-meter row is a non-weight-bearing, low-impact exercise that reduces the impact on the legs. More importantly, rowing provides a full-body cardio workout engaging 80% of the body's muscle system. Also, the rower is space-saving fitness equipment and can be used on any Naval vessel or installation.

 

A video demonstrating the proper form and testing procedure for the 2,000-meter row is at https://www.dvidshub.net/video/773313/us-navy-rowing-machine-cfl-acfl-training-official or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKvFkZgvPmI&feature=youtu.be.

 

Physical Readiness Test

 

Service Members medically cleared for the Navy Physical Fitness Assessment will participate in the Body Composition Assessment and Physical Readiness Test (PRT). The new PRT event sequence is:

  • Push-ups
  • Forearm plank
  • Cardio or alternate cardio option

Get With The Flow Yoga You'll practice posture to align, strengthen and promote flexibility in the body. Full-body relaxation and balance are the goals, as well make a full circuit of the body's range of motion with standing postures, twists, backbends, forward folds, and hip openers. Please bring your own mat! 

 

TRX This class incorporates TRX strength training with HITT. It's a cardio-intensive class that incorporates plyometric drills with intervals of TRX power, resistance, and core training.

 

HITT The Ground Running  HIIT stands for high-intensity interval training. Your instructor will have your heart rate up while you move through a variety of different movements at your own pace. Increase your stamina and burn calories during this intense but fun workout with exercises that can be both higher or lower impact depending on your level.
