If I Join the Army, does the need to work out go away?

Depends on where you are and what you're doing
>Yes if you consider 6 hours of sleep and mopping floors a workout

Nah bro, joining the military just makes you want to exercise more. You will hate everything, and the best way to get that out is through the gym.

Nope, you spend a lot of time doing nothing. Military has plenty of fat people who only do mandatory PT, and then fill their faces with food and beer. Also: don't join infantry to be /fit/ because it wears your body out.

The military has one of the worst goddamn programs I've ever experienced. Almost as bad as crossfit. You run until your joints are fucked, then they have you do weighted running which fucks them for life. I still have chronic foot and knee pain.

You don't get to eat a whole lot, and barely get to sleep at all. You're basically in a cycle of breaking your body down and not being able to rebuild it.

I'm certain either the lack of sleep, or the lack of oxygen to my brain during long runs, has made me significantly dumber. I can't remember things that I used to be able to easily remember, like phone numbers, tasks that require multiple steps, thing like that. I can't even remember which things I can't remember anymore. Lost much of my eloquence too. That's probably a part of their program though desu, turn you into a retarded killing machine. The physical exercises are chosen because they don't require expensive gym equipment, so hey fuck your joints because we feel like being cheap...

POG life is comfy though. Much better than being in the trades, being in uni, or being a NEET. I'm happy I joined.

this desu
military training (and most training for law enforcement/fire/government jobs) is still stuck in an 80s way of thinking. Sports science has advanced but they're still stuck in the past. If anything you need to spend a lot of your free time working out in the gym in order to maintain an adequate strength base in order to reduce your chance of being injured.

Amen brother. Joinning the army turned my life around. I used to be on the verge of neetdom abd slowly getting out of shape. I used to procrastinate an awfull lot too. Now it's all the opposite and I'm much more focused in my day to day life with a lot more discipline, even got a thicc girlfriends (not fat, the real thicc) with an ass and thighs worth dying for
