Air Force to adopt Prancercise physical fitness program

Filed · 1541

Nearly a year after changes to Air Force PT rules went into effect, service officials announced on Monday the adoption of a new service-wide fitness conditioning program commonly known as Prancercise, Duffel Blog has learned.

Defined as "a springy, rhythmic way of moving, similar to a horse's gait and ideally induced by elation," Prancercise will become the backbone of the Air Force physical fitness program on Sept 1.

According to a new Air Force Instruction, the goal of the new fitness program is to motivate airmen to participate in the freedom of a year-round free spirited fitness regimen. The new program will emphasize self-expression and enhance the inner-child of service members as they prance and galavant down the 1.5 mile fitness course.
