Answer 2

Well,according to my experience in the PT instructer program in the US army(Was the only foreigner qualified for PT instructing :),The US army PT program consists of  3 phases.The 2 mile-run,the sit ups, and the push ups which the latter two consists of one 2-minute set.

For the push up,spread out your hands just a little more then your shoulders and try to bend down in a complete prone position with your belly almost touching the ground.The PT program is focused mainly on "Posture" rather then mere numbers of how much you can "pump it up".You`d be frustrated by the "no-counts" you may get from unproper posture,so try to work on it first.No sagging in the middle.

Do as many pushups you can in a 2 minute period(Called a "Set") and rest for a minute and do another set.Keep repeating until you tire out.

For the situps,your elbows MUST touch your knees,which should be bent in a 45 degree position.Follow the same precedures as the pushups.

The 2mile run is going to be a challenge,but try keeping it into 15 mins at the least.Keep repeating running and walking in certain intervals then increase the intervals of your running phase.

Keep it up,and you`ll do fine.

Also,try to divide the week and make one day a running day,the next day a muscle day and so on.This is for providing enough rest and to balance the development of your muscles.

Answer 5

Work on your push-ups as much as possible. Make sure you run at least 3 times a week and do sit-ups. Ask your recruiter about the Army PT test and make sure you can blow that away before you join the Army. Good luck

Answer 6

Your best bet it to work on the classics.  Run, push ups and sit ups.  Also helps to do some free weights if you can.
