I need to get into shape quickly for police obstacle course. How do i do this?

Question

I am not looking to be skinny minny or anything like that (although I am not against losing some weight:)) I need to be able to get into shape to pass the police obstacle course and then entry into the academy which is EXTREMELY physical! Looking for advice from ppl who can help! I do have a gym membership.

Answer 1

I'm sure it's different now, but I would say speed and upper arm strength.  Cities will vary, and mine has changed since I came on, but ours ran all the way around a gym and there were 4 -3 ft. high (were wide)  a 4 ft. high (1 ft wide) wall, a 6 ft. tall (about 3-4 in. wide) wall, a 12 ft. (low to floor) balance beam, and a few other things (it went around, then into the middle of the gym)....I think we had 60 seconds.

Answer 3

Fastest way to get into shape without over straining yourself is to go on power walks DAILY.

Speed walking works out alot more muscles then sprinting/jogging yet is less strenuous on the body, personally i run track so i dont speed walk i jog for training and to build stamina. But if i wanted to build my legs and didnt want a gym involved i would speed walk for about an hour and a half to 2 hours a day. carry some running/jogging dumbbell weights with you and if you put on leg weights you can cut it to about an hour.

Hope this helps
