Yesterday book out was the best siaz.No stand-by,just pack and go le.Alot of pple are interested to know how our physical training are like so i shall tell everyone in this entry.
In the morning,we have this thing called the Ability Group Run,AGR in short.Our training is in the stadium so let's says we are instructed to run 2 min. per round the track and we have to continue running for 30 min. at that pace and i can tell u,it's not easy.Then we have a static exercise.We do 30 push-ups and 100 crunches and leg raise for 3 min.After that,we have 250 steps up.The steps are not those normal steps u find in HDB but those spectator stands,those tall steps lo.
Sometimes,we have speed training added on to it.It means we have to do 15 sec. of sprinting then 30 sec. of slow jog den follow by 30 sec. of sprinting den 60 sec. of slow jog.That is considered one set den we have to do 3 sets.That is likely all for the morning physical training.
In the afternoon,we have swimming lessons.Before that,we have a Catergorisation test.Cat 1 is the best and CAt 3 the lousiest.Firstly,we have to wear our army uniform.Swim 2 laps.Then tread water for 5 min.If u tread less than 3 min.,u be put under Cat 3.If u tread for 5 min. but cannot make a float using the trousers,then u be put under Cat 2.Next up,is the combat jump.We have to jump from a platform 3m high.Pass that,u be under Cat 3.For the first Cat. test,i struggled coz i not used to having such a heavy clothing weighing me down.But yesterday,i pass the Cat test and now under Cat 1 where u be doing leisure swim while others are learning.But the training for Cat 3 and Cat 2 quite tough.Have to swim 50 laps then tread water for at least 10 min.But we learn alot of stuff la.Like how to save ur energy while swimming and how to hold on if u have cramps.Basically alot of stuff u nid to survive,should u fall into the sea....So anyone here wants any swimming lesson?
So basically,i be under the sun alot so i be extremely tanned and also slim shld i pass out from the course in september lo.
