What is AMP-IT? AMP-IT (Aquatic Maximum Power Intensity Training) is the water version of the popular Marine Corps HITT (High Intensity Tactical Training) program. Don't think it's just another water aerobics class. AMP-IT provides a strenuous workout. In fact, it can oftentimes be more strenuous than gym workouts. This workout encompasses a variety of high intensity activities designed to: - Increase strength, cardiovascular endurance and lung capacity, helping to improve PFT scores. - Reduce the risk of injury, facilitate recovery and decrease recovery time. - Be as challenging as on-land PT. Because it's non-weight bearing, AMP-IT, unlike land based workouts reduces stress on joints and bones making it accessible to injured Marines, Marines on light or limited duty can continue to train with their unit.
