could you pass the army fitness test

Post Reply New Topic

Military PT tests are a joke to anyone who takes care of themselves. The 2-mile run is the most challenging because it measures aerobic health, which some people lack because they don't challenge themselves.

For someone who's never gone to a gym in their life, the test can be brutal. Many people who join the military show up at basic training overweight and out of shape...in spite of being advised to get in shape BEFORE reporting for training.

the only exercises I could do worth a damn upon entry, were running and situps- pushups were laughable, only could do 13 and was wiped out afterwards. 2 weeks later I could do 50. lots of enforced practice ["DROP, PRIVATE!! !]."

I doubt it.

hell no. the most push-ups i've ever done consecutively was 24- and that was in 9th grade. nowadays, at most i could do 15 but i've been taking track and field and going to the gym.
if i ever showed up to basic training i would be mistaken for a mop.

Yes but need to train for it and its no big deal since its a 2 mike run/walk, push ups and sit ups and not sure if this all. Ok it's a big deal if you don't train for it.
