pleas if you are going to clame that those are the army BCT exercises at least get the right standards such as for the sit up you must to have your hands interlocked on the back of your head
1- make sure you can run a mile, no matter the time it takes. Sometimes “breathing” is more complicated than “runing”, besause you have the strenght but you don´t know how to use and distribute it.
2-after 1-2 weeks of doing that confortable and taking the time you need, start to “lower” it. Gradually, but make sure everytime you´re a little bit faster.
3-That´s all (I did that just for fun and I achieved the 1-min-mile!)
1 minute mile?! Meaning you ran a mile in a minute? You realise you have to run at 96 km/h to do that?
Ha Ha ! My mistake!
I meant 8-minute-mile !
; )
Haha, no problem! If only a 1-minute-mile was possible!
when he put his head to his chest, there is no argument, he sounded exactly like cleveland from family guy!!!
What this guy said. It takes alot of ttime to get into decent running shape. Start running a good 6 months or more before basic. You’ll be VERY glad you did.
I can run 186000 miles in a second
Yeah. I prefer crossed arms but you have to keep your fingers laced behind your head for the Army.
/agreed
would crunches be better than sit ups?
Push ups are good, but fingers have to be touching/ interlaced behind your head in order for a sit up to count when conducting the APFT.
you forgot pullups.
Pullups are important for the military too.
Pull ups are used to gauge strength for the USMC. They aren’t used in any other branch of the military.
Learn something new everyday
Hell yea, I can runa bout a 1.2-1.4 miles in 7:35, but believe me, it took a WHILE, its no “2 days and ur a sprinter” u GOTTA work at it….
I can run a 7 minute miled on track. 6:49-50 on the treadmill. Im running 4.5 miles now at a 9:05 pace. I started in July running a 12 minute mile. It takes alot of work, but eventually it becomes routine.
I used to run at 4.0 speed for 2-3 miles for 15-20 minutes. Now I’m up to speed 4.2 for 1 mile first day, and I’m gonna be trying to run for 2 miles next week.
I just started running but i run 1.4 miles in 7:29 i guess im not outta shape lol
Mainly for marines.
Actually Pull Ups are in other branches, Navy Spec Ops requires that you can perform a Minimum of 6 Pull ups but they wont give you a contract unless you can do around 13
