I'd like to ask the opinion of anyone familiar with this publication what they would recommend doing on "easy" days. Right now I am focusing on push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups in order to improve APFT scores, but the pamphlet is unclear as to whether I should do free weight exercises on my off days as well. I appreciate y'alls time and help.

On easy days, conduct a PT test, go all out in performace, what you'll have is a 30-45 min. workout, followed by an hour of swim/pool time, but go easy. Hot tub, lots of stretching of warm muscles.
Your body needs rest, so do it.
For me, fitness means,
strength, endurance, and flexibility. I loved easy days as much as napping on Grandma's sofa.
