WEBVTT

00:00.009 --> 00:02.231
So the 12 week program they're doing is

00:02.231 --> 00:04.231
a cohort assessment . Um We will be

00:04.231 --> 00:06.287
following 30 marines from one of the

00:06.287 --> 00:08.509
units in MLG and we'll be incorporating

00:08.509 --> 00:10.565
um all domains of Marine Corps Total

00:10.565 --> 00:12.565
Fitness . So focusing on physical ,

00:12.565 --> 00:14.787
spiritual , social and mental fitness .

00:14.787 --> 00:16.676
So the hopes uh from the physical

00:16.676 --> 00:18.898
standpoint are of course to create more

00:18.898 --> 00:21.120
resilient uh marine or sailor . Um It's

00:21.120 --> 00:23.176
more capable of their job . Yes . So

00:23.176 --> 00:25.231
how they did it here , um was we had

00:25.231 --> 00:27.342
three days a week . Um and it was not

00:27.342 --> 00:29.700
only , you know , the actual physical

00:29.709 --> 00:32.299
lifting , but then once or twice a week ,

00:32.310 --> 00:34.810
we also had a , a class that was either

00:34.819 --> 00:37.580
on nutrition or we had an ethics class .

00:37.590 --> 00:39.959
We had a supplements class . So just a

00:39.970 --> 00:42.580
lot of well complimented classes to go

00:42.590 --> 00:44.701
with the fitness . There was a lot of

00:44.701 --> 00:46.590
strength and conditioning . So we

00:46.590 --> 00:48.534
learned how to like front squat uh

00:48.534 --> 00:50.715
bench press dead lift . Um A lot of

00:50.724 --> 00:52.946
mobility which was really good . That's

00:52.946 --> 00:55.168
something that I enjoyed a lot . Um And

00:55.168 --> 00:56.946
then like how to move your body

00:56.946 --> 00:59.002
properly . Uh So we learned a lot of

00:59.002 --> 01:01.168
form and technique stuff and it became

01:01.168 --> 01:03.335
a competition , especially towards the

01:03.335 --> 01:05.446
end . Oh , you're doing that . Let me

01:05.446 --> 01:07.446
see what I can do . And it was just

01:07.446 --> 01:09.668
about a great , a great environment for

01:09.668 --> 01:12.169
healthy competition and just motivating

01:12.180 --> 01:14.400
each other to be better . We do have

01:14.410 --> 01:17.650
some good data showing um over the last

01:17.660 --> 01:19.882
12 weeks that those marines and sailors

01:19.882 --> 01:22.199
had increases in skeletal muscle mass ,

01:22.209 --> 01:24.580
decreases in percent body fat , um

01:24.589 --> 01:27.940
increases in PFT and CFT scores . A lot

01:27.949 --> 01:29.893
of the physical aspects definitely

01:29.893 --> 01:31.949
increased . And then kind of getting

01:31.949 --> 01:34.171
that immediate feedback from commanders

01:34.171 --> 01:34.004
and marines that this was helpful .

01:34.014 --> 01:36.125
This wasn't helpful . And then seeing

01:36.125 --> 01:38.125
that reflected in the data helps us

01:38.125 --> 01:40.292
kind of like adjust things and what at

01:40.292 --> 01:42.236
least adjust what we can right now

01:42.236 --> 01:44.403
until we really see those decreases in

01:44.403 --> 01:46.625
harmful behaviors in the future in 3 to

01:46.625 --> 01:46.495
5 years .
