Well, I have pretty much decided to join the military, and I need help getting into shape. Currently I am 6' tall and 145 pounds, but i need to become a lot more muscular quickly, and was hoping maybe someone could help.

Start off slowly so you don't get discouraged...........Run, lift weights, run, lift weights, rin, lift weights...........In no time you will be in top shape and God bless you for volunteering to defend our country.......................

run a lot (at least two miles at a time), hit the weights, and do a lot of ab workouts. As you join, they won't expect you to be able to do much, so everything you do befopre you join will put you ahead of the game. Drill Sergeants will help you work on whatever you need to focus on once you are in. You are not expected to be in top physical shape when you get there, but to pass your PT test (for the army anyway, and depending on your age), expect to have to do 50-60 pushups, 50-60 situps (in two minutes each event), and complete a two-mile run in under 16 minutes (again, depending on your age).

You are good to go. Don't worry too much about the muscular part. For the Army, you need to do 42 push ups, 52 sit ups, and run 2 miles in 15:56 at the end of basic training. You are in a good position to join. Remember most people now days are fat so the Army has had to adapt to this problem. Go for it, you will not regret it.

well, watching what you eat would be a good start. Also, staying hydrated is a good thing. The best way to get into to shape and, I'm not sure how long you have to join, but to get good at an excercise, you need to practice that excercise as much as you can. And quality not quantity will take you there. Take a look at an Army Physical Fitness Guide.

50 pushups, situps, and a 1 1/2 mile run 3 times a day. Before each meal. But eat healthy. Get a physical and discuss your regiment with a doctor as well.
