Marine Corps Times staff writer Gidget Fuentes wrote this week about a new simulator at Twentynine Palms:
Marines here are learning that one of the latest takes on Marine fitness ties together two things they love: exercise and shooting. Throw in a dose of adrenaline from the stress of competing against a clock, and it might just become the next combat-workout craze.
Last year, trainers here at Twentynine Palms bought two shooting simulators to test their potential as fitness tools. They have incorporated them into aspects of the Corps’ new High Intensity Tactical Training program. And much like HITT workouts, this new program — which so far has no official name — is meant to be physically and mentally challenging.
