What is the best way to get in shape for a federal job?

Question

I am getting ready to leave either for Customs Border Protection or for Border Patrol in about 3 months. What is the best way to get in shape and prepared for the training academy? anyone who has been there before have any tips? i have been running lately, but i threw up the other day after running up a hill...pretty bad out of shape....

Answer 1

Hey Rubin, I need some input from you on what to expect once the application is completed and a eval score has been emailed. please help

Answer 2

Take it in smaller steps then. Go jogging every day as much as you can without throwing up, avoid hills. But definitely keep running and you'll get better overtime. 3 months is plenty to get in decent shape if you do it very regularly. Daily would be great.

I haven't worked with the CBP but I know it's not the Navy SEALs, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
