Different types of workouts conducted throughout the semester are circuit training , muscle failure , organized sports , and Battalion runs . Circuit training consists of three sets of ten different exercises. Each exercise is set up at a different station, and cadets complete one set of exercises by performing all ten stations. Each complete rotation of exercises is conducted for different periods of time. For example, the first rotation could be 45 seconds, the second rotation 35 seconds, and the third rotation 25 seconds.
Cadets remain in constant motion throughout the entire workout.
Cadets must run to each new station and remain running until the signal is given to begin the exercise. Muscle failure works on the same time principle as circuit training. The same types of exercises are used as in circuit training, but muscle failure workouts are conducted from a set position. Instead of running around to each station, the exercises are performed in an open formation. Organized sports are also used to promote physical fitness.
