			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Daily 16 Program is a comprehensive series of warm-up, conditioning, and cool-down exercises; it replaces the former Daily 7. </p>
<p> The USMC introduces the Daily 16, as follows:</p>
<p> The Daily 16 warm-up exercises facilitate gradual distribution of blood flow to the muscles, preparing both the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems for the exercise session, by effectively targeting both the upper and lower body. The increased blood flow to the muscles produces a warming effect, increasing the elasticity of the muscles and connective tissues, which is believed to reduce injury risks. </p>
<p> The Daily 16 conditioning exercises include traditional calisthenics that are safe in providing a total body workout, which can vary in duration, degree of difficulty and level of intensity. The Daily 16 cool-down exercises (the same exercises used in the warm-up) allow the body to gradually return to the pre-exercise state.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2200. PFT STANDARDS<br /> 1. PFT Performance Requirements. To successfully pass the PFT, Marines must complete the minimum acceptable performance requirements in each event and achieve<br /> an overall combined score for their age group as shown in table</p>
<p> 2-1. Marines must<br /> be made aware that the minimum performance (points) in each event alone, will not total the points required for a passing score. Additional points must be earned in at least one event in order to achieve a 3rd Class PFT or better, per age group.<br /> Failure to meet the minimum requirements in any event constitutes a failure of the entire test, regardless of the total number of points earned for all three events. Marines on light or limited duty will complete the two events that they are medically qualified to participate in, and will receive credit for a PPFT.<br /> Paragraph 2202 further details the PPFT requirements.</p>
