Looking around the fleet, I’m seeing a lot pot bellies and thunder thighs. Come on Shipmates! Let’s not give the Marines more ammunition. Understandable, on a destroyer, you have limited room to do cardio. On shore….No Excuses. I’ve been on a few shore establishments and I have been shocked. Be very glad that I am not your LPO.
So, what to do about it. For those of you who are in base housing, take a walk. Seriously. Leave your cars at the barracks and walk to 500 feet to work. If walking is not an option, park away from the building. Find some way to get some cardio in. I’ve also notice that on shore establishments that are essentially offices, the work day is approximately 0800 – 1500. If you were civilians, your work day would not end for another 2 hours. If the uniform is getting a little tight, take this time and put in some extra cardio or weights beyond unit.
