These workouts are designed for long-distance muscle endurance. Muscle fatigue will gradually take a
longer and longer time to develop doing high repetition workouts. For best results, alternate exercises
each set, in order to rest that muscle group for a short time. The below listed workouts are provided for
varying your workouts once you have met the Category I and II standards.

Pyramid Workouts

You can do this with any exercise. The object is to slowly build up to a goal, then build back down to the
beginning of the workout. For instance, pull ups, situps, pushups, and dips can be alternated as in the
above workouts, but this time choose a number to be your goal and build up to that number. Each
number counts as a set. Work your way up and down the pyramid. For example, say your goal is "5."

Number of Repetitions
PULL UPS: 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1
PUSHUPS: 2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2 (2X # pull ups)
SITUPS: 3,6,9,12,15,12,9,6,3 (3X #pull ups)
DIPS: same as pushups

Swimming Workouts - Level II

WEEKS #3, 4: Swim continuously for 45 min.with fins.
WEEK #5: Swim continuously for 60 min. with fins.
WEEK #6: Swim continuously for 75 min. with fins.

* Note: At first, to reduce initial stress on your foot muscles when starting with fins, alternate swimming
1000 meters with fins and 1000 meters without them. Your goal should be to swim 50 meters in 45
seconds or less.

Stretching and Physical Training

Since Mon/Wed/Fri are devoted to PT, it is wise to devote at least 20 minutes on Tue/Thu/Sat to
stretching. You should always stretch for at least 15 minutes before any workout; however, just
stretching the previously worked muscles will make you more flexible and less likely to get injured. A
good way to start stretching is to start at the top and go to the bottom. Stretch to tightness, not to pain;
hold for 10-15 seconds. DO NOT BOUNCE. Stretch every muscle in your body from the neck to the
calves, concentrating on your thighs, hamstrings, chest, back, and shoulders.

Hope this helps you out buddy let me know how your progression is. I have been doing phase 1 PT only
so far until I get back to school where we have a pool. Keep in touch man
