[offsetshot]

Hello everyone my name is Jalen I am 20 years old and I'm going to be an Army Ranger.

I am determined and highly motivated towards working on my goal everyday.

I pt everyday
50 assorted pullups/chinups
50 triceps dips
300 pushups
and I swim everyday of the week for about an hour.
this is Monday through Friday I also attend my MMA gym here in salt lake Monday through Friday I learn jiu jitsu judo wrestling mma kickboxing and muay thai at my gym.
I do every kind of workout you can think of kettlebells are great elastic band workouts with pushups are excellent I do yoga i attend multiple fitness classes throughout the week consisting of boot camp style workouts, cycling, weight training. swat which is special water aerobics tactics, and a number of water cardio classes i would definitely recommend these water cardio style workouts some of the best. Your local recreation center may have opportunities for these types of classes.
Saturdays I do upper body weight lifting no calisthenics. every single muscle upper body I target with a wide range of different equipment's such as cables, dumbells, bars, press machines etc.
Sundays i do lower body training my legs and I run 26 miles. in no more than 3 hours this is my pt throughout the week everyday I never miss one day rain sun snow tornado my motto is everyday your not training I am.

When working your body everyday like this I would highly recommend stretching I have very good stretching information if anyone is interested I would also recommend eating properly.

I also ruck march a few miles each day with my ruck to and from the gym and work.

I work as a painter part time I enjoy painting peoples homes and making them beautiful.
I also work at a fast food restaurant part time. Handling peoples food demands it of course is lower level work but I make the best out of it.

I enjoy reading war books specifically on Vietnam my grandpa was a Marine in Vietnam and I just find it intriguing reading the books and thinking he lived there for 2 years fighting the war as an infantryman.

For my free time I enjoy shooting, parachuting, and scuba diving and any style of martial arts including tai-chi.

I am here of course to gain more knowledge to help me to and through regiment.
I am not enlisted in the US Army right now but do have some information than can help others that are in my situation.

Never quit ever no matter what!

RLTW.
