Work out routines

I am looking for someone to share some work out routines with me.

I am in generally good shape (i am a, now ex, college soccer player) but have never really followed through on a serious lifting schedule.

I'm looking to get ready for PRT at OCS so any suggestions are welcome. I'd like to incorporate swimming in too.

Thanks

Probably a good routine for the ANG...

Ha:D - no seriously they have this waist measurement thing now.. where if you rock the run, sit-ups, push-ups.. but don't make the waist measurement... adios from AMS. It's 20% of your score and it doesn't take into account height.

Even if you're 50 years old, 6'5'', if you're not under a 39'' maximum waist (actual measurement, not the pant size) you'll fail - even if you were perfect on the run, etc.

So lately it's been the Salad and Oatmeal diet...

Yep, AF wide for the active duty fit test as well. Along with civilians at the gym to count/time your events since military can't be trusted to do it (waiting for the FAA examiners on NATOPS checks).
 
Go find a Crossfit affiliated gym nearby. Join up. Let them kick your ass. Rinse. Repeat. I wouldn't call them workout routines, because they change everyday. Boredom is the enemy.

Just started at a crossfit gym yesterday, thinking I was going for a 'foundations' class where they would just show me all the proper movements. Little did I know I would be rolling right into my first ass-kicking workout. That was 20 minutes of pure hell...and I'm going back for more. :)
 
P90X (beachbody.com) is pretty legit and you dont need that much equipment or space just a TV and living room. Since i work 9-5 I do that like 3 or 4 days a week in the evening. Then I do long runs on the weekends. P90X really kicks your body's core into shape making pushups and situp easier and its good for indurance b/c the workout are 1 to 1.5 hours without breaks. The good part is the there isnt very much repetition and there are 12 different workout so you dont really get bored.
