What are some ways you are making PRT better to improve morale in your unit?

*We have authorized Pokemon GO to enhance and motivate Soldiers to run faster and more often. In the last week, we're improved our run times by 30% and decreased our overall body-fat percentage by 25%. Eight Soldiers have been removed from the Weight-Control Program and overall readiness has increased by 19%.





*None of the above statements should be taken as fact or even a good idea.

We are authorized 2 days a week to do PT at the PLT level. It gives us the opportunity to have time in a smaller group for competition and esprit de corp building. It's my favorite two days of the week. We get to incorporate bike rides, trail runs, lifting...

My CO also has a Commanders Cup event once a month. The Commanders Cup event comes with a trophy for the winning PLT. It's also a nice change and a morale builder as well.

We have regimental PT once a week. We do different things, fun things. Dodge ball, kickball, softball, ruck march, frisbee football, etc.

It breaks the monotony and promotes esprit de corps.
