“Before we eat we do PT, before we eat we do PT”, though this wasn’t the mantra repeated all night by the half of the instructors who napped during the day so as to keep all participants at the summer camp from hell I chose to go to at age 15 – I can hear it in one of their voices…
Presenting :
BEFORE WE EAT WE DO PT
I’m on a bit of a writing mania, typing this up immediately after the last post, the inspiration while hitting deep knee bends after neck bridging before the bowl of broccoli topped with ground beef topped with a slice of pizza and a tall cup of eggnog.
Okay, the microwave is angry.
Another set of deep knee bends.
…gets food out of microwave…
Now I type ; intuitively, and scientifically – the body is better at nutrient partitioning with higher levels of activity.
At 19 or so I watched a documentary/docu-drama/reality show where americans as contestants went to a stone fort in the north african desert, and with former french foreign legionaries/legionaires (which is right!!!) as simulated cadre had the simulated ffl boot camp experience.
One thing that stuck out to me was that before entering the chow hall, right next to the chow hall entrance in fact, was a pullup bar where a set of 10+ was expected, the contestants expected to “PT before we eat” by an angry little napoleon of an american who had been an nco for a while in the legion before a brief us army enlistment.
…..
Now, I eat – having done some PT right before doing so.
And we know it’s another set of deep knees bends after plus the night’s pushups.
You’re better off with a mini session before every meal.
