How Does Your Workout Stack Up Against SMA Dailey's?

Think you could keep up with the Sergeant Major of the Army in one of his daily workouts? Seems simple at first glance but give it shot, it’s sure to show you how out of shape you really are…

To see the insane number of reps SMA Daley does in this workout, take a look here!: http://rly.pt/sma-workout

Wow, I'm happy if I get a 5 mile hike (not run) in once a week.

I wish I was the SMA so I had so much time to work out? Must be really nice.

The workouts and 5 mile runs oh hell no
even the chairs is to much lets try a 12oz currel
soda or beer. That's about all i got .
Go and workout for rehab and it takes 2 weeks to
get over it.

Actually MAJ Tristan M. I was going to say the same thing. We are not allowed to go to the gym. Strictly PRT, hill repeats, 60-120s, AGR. MSE is push-up and sit-up drills, conditioning drills and that's it.

I work out for an hour 5 to 6 times a week. I also keep a journal, and I have healthy eating habits. The work out the SMA conducts you do not really need a gym most of the time which is great. I can not run 5-7 miles three times a week. I have too many injuries and if I agitate those injuring by over working myself, I will not do myself any good. For a rank-and-file Soldier, that word would be additional to what they already do during organized PT. I think its great the SMA can do a work out like that at his age but he might be over doing it.

My workout isn't close to his. But then again I have been blown up (mTBI), had an Aorta Aneurism and heart valve replaced, 4 shoulder operations (1 reconstruction), and 4 back operations (2 fusions). With that said I think I am in pretty good shape all things considered.

Once upon a time, yes no questions asked. Before my injury, I had nearly maxed out all three events I my last PT test. According to my friends and family, I was in some pretty good shape. Now, well now I would laugh in your face and ask you if you're crazy.

I looked everywhere in the FM 7-22, and I couldn't find his workout. Hmm......

Our goals and needs aren't the same. Therefore, can't say.

The SMA is a beast! He max out his pt through his career and has a running time of 11 minutes. It would take me a while to adjust myself to that workout routine. The five-seven mile run would do me in.

I am 80 Yrs old & try to run 1 - 3 miles every day and/or ride my Proform EX10 Bike for 30 minutes.
Then after this Cardio workout I workout with free weights or kettlebells for 20 - 30 minutes daily .
I try to stick to a sensible diet plan but this has always been a problem for me. Most of the low fat or low carb diets are cruel and unusual punishment.
I was a FPT in the USMC, 24 hr Fitness & Gold's Gym for 20 hrs but retired in 2008 & now just use my home gym. My clients are my 8 yr old grand son and occasionally a friend who wants to try out some of my home gym equipment especially the Proform Bike which is not as expensive as the new Peloton or Soucycle bikes that I have really tested at their respected studios in Chestnut Hill & Natick MA. But for some reason I keep going back to free weights, I guess old habits die hard In the Peloton photo I took off my leather jacket and checked out this bike yesterday at the Natick Mall.. Soulcycle or Peloton Studio Clients pay @$50.00 an hr for one of their classes.. I tried Soulcycle and plan to try Peloton in a few weeks..But I'm probably much too old for either of these new fitness crazes..
