Rolling out this month at Army Basic Training installations around the country: A whole new workout. Out — five mile runs and bayonet drills. In — core-strengthening twists and zigzag sprints. "We don't run five miles in combat, but you run across the street every day. I'm not training long-distance runners. I'm training warriors," says Frank Palkoska, head of the Army's Fitness School at Fort Jackson.
