Recommendations from a 1952 guide for American soldiers that are suitable for both military personnel and ordinary citizens - regardless of their job.
Military leaders say that soldiers do their job much better when they are in good physical shape. This also applies to the shooter breaking through the enemy defenses, and the machinist typing an important report. War is a grueling ordeal that requires excellent endurance.
Physical fitness did not play a lesser role with the transition of hostilities to a more mechanized level. Soldiers still have to carry out most of the difficult tasks that men have done for millennia. If the car is better, then the person who drives it must become stronger.
You can improve or maintain your shape only through physical training. Experience shows that rarely do people come to serve in the army immediately ready for all the upcoming trials. Therefore, a well-designed physical fitness program is very important.
Today, as never before, the old adage “A healthy mind is in a healthy body” is relevant. For your brain to function effectively, your body must be healthy. As you exercise, you will find that you are able to work longer and stay focused.
You will love both physical and mental activities. You will stop resisting hard work because you will no longer get tired so quickly. Your waist will become thinner and your chest wider. Small problems will become easier to solve, and large tasks will no longer seem so impossible. You will become more confident and ready to do anything.
There is a proverb - "Where it is thin, there it breaks." The strength of a chain is determined by the strength of its weakest link. This is especially true for the army.
When you are on the defensive, the enemy will explore your position until they find the weakest spot. Then he hits him with all the strength he has. The only way to strengthen an army is to take away its weaknesses. The same applies to the physical fitness of the individual.
And it is not enough to be strong yourself - everyone in the team should help each other and strive for a common goal. The well-coordinated work of a group of people in good shape will surely lead to victory, be it a battlefield or an office.
