Physical Training (PT)

Effective Army leaders must be physically fit and be able to lead by example. Cadets conduct PT as a group each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning from 0615 - 0730. Cadets that need further development attend a special PT session on Thursday afternoons. Cadet leaders create a PT plan for each semester that specifies the instructor, event, and meeting location for each session. Typical workouts include running, ruck marching, weight lifting, swimming, and of course push-ups and sit-ups. Each cadet takes the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) for record at the end of each semester. This test consists of push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2-mile run. All PT sessions are conducted at Davidson College.
