Still remember during PTP or BMT we need to do 5-bx right?

Well what's the reason behind it? I really hate it cos early morning to do PT is like shit...

Anyway I also forgot what are the 5 basic exercise?

Is it..Push ups, Sit-up, jumping jack & ????

ditzy SG

Its suppose to get your day started though most would beg to differ. Laughing

poon cho tang SG

ambushes tends to occur early in the morning

omgukilledkenny SG

push up,sit up, jumping jack, burpys and some “45 degree lift up” leg thingy..i dunno if its the same as army, i do this for my cca and they called it 5-bx too.

sans-culotte SG

Push-ups
crunches
half-squat
heel-raise
burpees

i remember that during my bmt, i NEVER had 5bx, cos the programme was already really packed without them.

anyway 5bx is to wake our sleepyheads up, and also to warm up our bodies for the day, and of course, to maintain fitness.

I never had 5bx during PTP or BMT too. It is scheduled in the training programme but somehow it never materialized, not that anyone was complaining.. Wink

Master -_- SG

In BMT, its always 5BX with RUN!!!!!!!!!!! Mad Mad Mad
In OCS, its always 5BX with ET RUN!!!!!!!!!
In PLC, STAY OUT LOR Cool

cornyfish2000 SG

Wah which BMT company were you from? Got run everyday ah...
OCS no need to say lah, vest slack+SBO for the 5BX rundown also have...

wuming78 SG

5bx + ET run? u mean ur ET run starts at 5.45 am??

wuming78 SG

vest slack only lah, at least during my time. never vest slack sbo.

Master -_- SG

ah then Rolling Eyes

wuming78 SG

that's rather early for ET run! how far you all run usually? if run long dist, then b-fast how?

cornyfish2000 SG

By ET run do you mean the 3 klick run for 5BX? Or the REAL ET run? Surely can't have the real ET run every day rite?

sidestep1984 SG

another name for 5bx is calisthenics..the main purpose of calisthenics is to develop muscular endurance

Master -_- SG

My wing have breakfast early...during ST2, we had breakfast at 5am almost everyday and had ET RUN for around 3km... Rolling Eyes

wuming78 SG

b-fast at 5 am?!

and run immediately after b-fast? that is rather bizarre! no physical activities within one hour after meals leh.

anyway 3 km is the standard 5bx running distance, and so not considered as ET run. ET runs are usually long distance runs, minimum 4-5 km and no max. Wink

joie SG

what does ET run stand for?
