    i have to say the biggest mistake i made was that i did not physically prep for bmt, just because i passed with no prep does not mean you should not prep, its just extra work you put on yourself in bmt. my advice to anyone reading this is to get fit before going to bmt.

      I’ve been slacking ever since I got into the Air Force tbh, I need to prep myself hard for my next pt test cause I’ve been getting lucky with my pt tests. However, bmt will fully prepare you over the 2 months you have to pass the final pt test. I didn’t even fully commit and I got a good pass on that final test. I got a 11:56 run, 56 pushups and I maxed out the sit-ups. That was basically only doing the workouts in bmt. I can only imagine if I had fully committed and tried my best. Now I do have to fully commit and get as fit as I can.

    take your max pushups/situps, divide it by 3 and do 3 sets 3 times a day. basically aim for 3 times your max pushups/situps daily.

    I'm 28, and after having babies and not working out for a few years...... I am STRUGGLING. My husband is army and he's giving me pointers and helps me with sit ups and push ups - form and all. Although Air Force and Army have different forms and how you have to complete the sit up. He told me to do 100 push ups and sit ups a day - throughout the day or all at once, whatever I wanna do. I can barely do 5 sit ups in a row right now. But when I started, I couldn't even do 1. He also told me to do other core work to help my core strength so like planks, crunches, etc. I'm hopefully going Air Force if I get my waivers approved. I also found that you really need hard self-discipline to get going in the gym and then once you start feeling good/better from working out, it will be so easy to just get to the gym or to do a home workout. Practice makes progress!

    Ive been training for BMT for the past 2 months and lost 35lbs in that amount of time. I still have a little way to go to reach my weight requirement but now its pretty easy sailing. In the beginning, my legs and joints hurted a lot because i did not exercise at all and i was heavy but after about a few weeks or a month I did not hurt hardly at all because i got used to it. Nowadays I run/powerwalk 6.5 miles everyday

    Your Recruiter should tell you all you need to know about the PFT. If not, ask questions. That's what they're for, answers. If you enjoy the gym and working out, push yourself harder. If you don't like working out, change your mindset. Get in the gym and push yourself harder. Crossfit is the way to go. You will be rock solid and excel at the PFT. We trained to run a 5k, 3.2 miles. It sounds hard but everyone starts small. We built up to it. The PFT run became a joke when you're running a 5k a few days a week. The bottom line is you can do it. I appreciate everyone reading this message. You've taken a step very few people will take. Thank you for joining and protecting our nation.

      Don't compare yourself to anyone in basic. Its a family fleet, and you're same as everyone else. Don't ever let age dictate anything, remember that! I've seen older people smoke the shit out of youngish, and vice versa. Thats why I state, get age out your mind now, it dont mean shit.

    I leave to BMT next month. I can run a mile in 11-12 minutes but I start to get tired when trying to do the extra 2 laps. Maybe I could start running for time instead. Hopefully by then I’ll be ready, I have 6 weeks to condition myself.
