Is this a trick question or a joke? Can't recall ever smiling on the inside... But supine bicycle when it's hot and you're in Sandy terrain. Sit-ups or flutter kicks when the ground is wet all seem pretty miserable to me

I just notice that I get weird satisfaction from push ups even if I can't do them all... It's weird. I was kind of curious if anyone else had a similar qwerk

Air Assault School had pretty brutal smoke sessions that consisted of cherry pickers, overhead clappers, body squats, leg lifts, and air assault (diamond) push-ups in rocks.

Corrective "Training" Physical Exercise:
360 Diamond Exchange (a push up exercise)
Runner ups: Iron Mikes and Knee Bender (command of execution: Beat Your Boots)

RELATED: Recently saw in FM 7-22 5-15 and was surprised that it suggests limiting CAPEs to no more than 5 reps, and that exercise selected be limited to only one of the following:
Rower.
Squat bender.
Windmill.
Prone row.
Push-up.
V-up.
Leg tuck and twist.
Supine bicycle.
Swimmer.
8-count push-up.

SSG Carlos Madden simply stand with your hands out and up in the air to form a Y shape with your body and squat.
