To improve your breathing while runnning first relax, this is true while doing any physical activity, you will perform better. A good indicator is your fingers which should be slightly curled, not a fist. Second, set a regular rhythm, such as breathing in for a count of 3, breathing out for a count of 3. With practice this will become natural. You may find that a different count works for you depending on lung capacity etc. Don't be afraid to try different counts. Remember stay relaxed.

I get cramps in my right side rib area when running after about 1 mile, I drink water like its going out of style is there anything i can do to remedy this? Also I am having trouble keeping pace with the others in my PT group who are in the DEP. I am 4ft 10in (getting a height wavier) but my recruiter wanted me to keep up with people who are 5ft 7in and 6ft or taller during PT. My strides aren't that wide considering my height. Is there any way I can keep up?

You might need to do some sprint drills to try to get your speed up. I get a cramp in the same area sometimes, too, but it's mostly cause I'm in the Guard now and I don't have to pt as often.
 I had a good friend in boot that was 4'10". You're gonna have trouble on the humps or marches, too. Try to start doing that with a light pack on your back. |

Pretty good. Still trying to improve my grasp on what I learned at Comm School and what they're teaching me here.

Manatees tend to let their body tell their mind what to do.
Now is the time to tell your body to hit the road, run, STFU about it and keep running until you tell your body to stop. ---------------------------------------------------- Semper Fi, DeepRecon Communications Chief http://www.forcerecon.com/ |

Are there some workout friendly foods that can help you GAIN weight?
A lot of the foods I'll eat to gain cause cramping or nausea on such a strict PT schedule. I also have a very healthy diet and refuse to heed the advice of those who encourage me to binge on ice-cream and doughnuts. I need healthy, long-term, sustainable weight gain. I'm told I can get a weight waiver for being under but I'd much rather be of proper weight before I leave. I hear-tell that being on double rations is no fun. |

If you want to gain good weight, you'll need a diet and workout schedule that will get you to reach your goals. You'll have to hit the weights, and eat a lot too. There are protein/weight gainer shake mixes that work well, provided you are working out hard. If not, all the carbs will just turn to fat, and you do not want that to happen. Of course, when ever you are putting on weight, it's nearly impossible to just gain muscle, there's going to be some fat gain, but you can work to keep that to a minimum. |

Chances are in boot even still theyw ill tell you to use the form in which your palms face outward exactly for this reason, that you are utalizing your largest musscle in your body so train it and strengthen it and you will have an eaiser time getting to 20...everything I need to know I learned in boot camp. Also don't think that boot is all physical there is a good portion of classes and knowledge testing! Lastly if you don't already know your rank structure know it now, one less thing you have to focus on when your in. |

I've read some charts that say since I'm 22 years old my max heart rate should be 180 while running. I've read others that say 200. Which is correct? Does it matter? What is a healthy heart rate? Mostly I run on the road in front of my house, but usually when I'm at college, if I don't have assignments due I'll get on one of the treadmills in their gym. Last week, I ran an 11:45 mile an a half and got my heart rate up to 190.
I'm asking if that's something I should be concerned with, or should I just do the run and not worry? Can you do damage to your heart by getting it up beyond 200? I was barely winded which means I didn't push hard enough, but that heart rate thing is kind of bugging me. Thanks for your time. |

The right answer depends on your general health; how long you have been running and how regularly you run.
What is your heart rate at rest? Compare with those charts you read. Go run a 440m (once around a high school track)sprint all out. All out means you have nothing left in you at the finish. Take your rate. A healthy heart is quick to recover to the rest rate.. within a couple of minutes. If you run regularly, as you increase your running distance and speed over time, your heart will grow stronger. A stronger heart will have a lower rate at rest and a lower peak rate. If you are concerned, continue to monitor your rest rate, peak rate and the time it takes to go from peak rate to rest rate. Keep a journal. The next time you see a doctor, talk to him about it. ---------------------------------------------------- Semper Fi, DeepRecon Communications Chief http://www.forcerecon.com/ |

----------------- Thank you for your answers. I'm not concerned about my heart rate as much as I am concerned about not pushing myself hard enough. I want to push myself into the "red zone" but I don't want to over do it and cost myself the opportunity to become a Marine. |

At the top of this forum.
The reason you will not get definitive responses pertaining to medical issues is obvious. Based soley on the limited information provided in your post, my opinion, assuming that you are generally healthy, is that you are not pushing yourself into the yellow zone. You're nowhere near the red zone. You are letting your mind decide what your body can do. Your body needs to tell your mind to STFU. Just do it. If you are out of shape, start out slowly. Do not push too hard. Exercise often and regularly. Increase the amount you push yourself over time. If you have real concerns about damaging your heart, see a doctor. ---------------------------------------------------- Semper Fi, DeepRecon Communications Chief http://www.forcerecon.com/ |
