A leader should set the standard.

That’s why I always led PT when I was a battery commander at Fort Bliss (nearly 45 years ago). Yeah, it was only a HQ battery (clerks and cooks), but they were mine for an hour a day. 20 minutes of calisthenics followed by a 2 mile run in formation with jodies.

My pass rate on the PT test was over 98%, 5 failed out of 300, and all passed on the second try.

The 5 bird colonels in my battery all passed, too. They supported me 100%.

As you well know you can do a hell of a lot in terms of conditioning at an hour a day.
