As many press ups as you can do in two minutes for a man about 45. As many sit ups as you can do in two minutes for a man about 50. And one and a half mile run in 10 mins.\nIf you can't manage these they will build you up to them.\nPlus every year you have to do standard combat fitness test (CFT) with pack, rifle and helmet were you have too march four miles in one hour no less no more as a unit.

Sports and physical fitness is one aspect of being a successful candidate to become a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy.

It depends.  If you have balanced your conditioning so that you have both strength and aerobic fitness then you should find the Army's physical training regimen to be not that tough.\n\nIf you have been lifting weights but not doing aerobics then the Army will correct this during basic training.\n\nOf course this is assuming that you do not have any medical problems that would render you as not qualified for military service.

to say "Drop and give me twenty" is of course a military term. Particularly used in basic training, the term means complete 20 push-ups. This is considered "corrective training", meaning when a soldier is in error, he will complete push ups as punishment. The reason push ups are effective is the upper-body strength built by push-ups is essential in the military, and while 20 is a laughable ammount (50 is the norm now), to do 20 push ups for every error while the seargents are scrupulously checking for error, can turn into 200 very quickly\n-\nand yes, all soldiers can do 20 consecutive push-ups. The army physical fitness test, or APFT, requires males ages 18-21 to be able to execute 43 correct push-ups within 120 seconds, without resting or leaving the front leaning rest position.

US Air Force Basic Training is perhaps the easiest of all of the services. Just keep your nose clean, do what is asked and you will do fine. Physical Training is part of it, but you will have help along the way. They don't expect you to run two miles in 15 minutes, but they do have a standard to go by and to pass you must pass you physical fitness test. Just tell yourself you can do it and you will.\n Basic is a mind game, in that they are trying to get you out of thinking like a civilian and more like a soldier. It is not brainwashing! Basically just changing your thought process to follow orders and work under pressure.\n You will have harassment, but everybody does. If you feel you are being singled out, you can report it. Also the males are educated against harassment, but some of the few think of themselves as a ladies man.\n  If you do join and are lucky enough to pick you job, try for something in computers or maintenance. If you do it long enough in the service, you have the chance to become certified in the real world and can get a great paying job in the future. Just remember, keep your nose clean and an open mind and you will do great. Good Luck!

Not important at all. the JORTC takes anyone. They get you into shape whenever they have their exercise meets. If you are going into the army, of course there is basic training. They will control your food intake and your exercise.

All of the above answers are good.  Navy Boot Camp will require you to pass a Physical Readiness Test prior to graduation.  The amount of push-up, sit-up, and the time for a mile and a half run are all based on your age.  Your Recruiting station is responsible for administering the test and ensuring you pass it prior to shipping to RTC.  If you still can’t pass by the time you are scheduled to go they should drop you or change your ship date but probably won’t.  At Boot Camp you will get three more physical test.  At a minimum you have to pass the final one.  If you still can’t pass you will go to a physical conditioning division and stay there until you pass or until the Navy sends you home.  \n\nOther than that, the rest of Navy boot camp is 75% classroom.  You will do push-ups and other physical training daily to build teamwork and attention to detail.\n\nGood Luck\n\nRTC Link:\nhttp://www.nstc.navy.mil/rtcgl/

Focus on safety and effectiveness. Having given the PAR-Q is an important first step. After that, measure his/her blood pressure, and resting heart rate. \n\nBesides that, there are probably 20 questions you could ask. First of all, ask about their goal. Then, ask about training history, family history, what type of job they have, what activities they enjoy, how much time they have per week to train with you, questions about their lifestyle, nutrition, etc.\n\nAll of these variables, and perhaps others should go into designing a safe and effective program.\n\nGood luck!

Your basic fitness should be pretty good at all times - I can understand that you might not be match fit - whatever you do, you should make sure that you have a well-regimented training plan to avoid injury during that period.
