Change it up a bit. We incorporate all kinds of physical fitness routines including Insanity, ruck marches, off post scenic runs where Soldiers can wear headphones, gym rotations, etc. It cancels the monotony of CD 1/2/3.

My unit does same. We even incorporate yoga, hook up a computer to a tv and play some of the yoga classes from youtube.

So what do you do when a soldier gets hurt and you can't validate your pt session because it wasn't in the FM?

This is where leaders accept prudent risk. For every session that isn't in an FM, have a complete DRAW to mitigate hazards and ensure you follow the 8 step training model (heavy emphasis on RECONing the PT site for suitability and rehearsals).

Variety, variety, variety. Competition like chief mentioned is always a good idea. If you have a command that is willing to listen draw up a PT plan that you think will be fun and give your PLT a good workout.
