Meeting the requirements of a physical fitness assessment A.S.A.P?

Dear Straucha,

Increasing your fitness is not done overnight. But you can do it.

Start by accessing what you can do of the the requirements right now. For the next two days, do what you can do. But instead of doing it only once, do two or three sets, three times a day.

Let me explain. Let's say that right now, you can do ten sit-ups, five push-ups and can run 100 metres. That would be one set. So, in the morning, you do it, wait a minute (really a minute by your watch) and do it again. Then a third time. Do the same routine mid-day and again in the evening.

Tomorrow, increase the amount you do by what is comfortable for you... add one or two push-ups/sit-ups and run a little farther. Again, three sets, three times a day. Then day after day, increase as you are able.

As with any physical regimen, there are going to be plateaus, days when you just can not increase. But tough it out. If you can't increase one day, keep exercising to your level until you can.

At the same time, you will want to reduce your weight. This is going to be a challenge. Muscle weighs more than fat, so as you increase your physical tone, your weight will not drop as fast as it would if you were to simply fast until you got where you want to be. On the other hand, this is a much safer way.

Most of us do not eat well. For weight, my advice is to completely eschew fast foods. Most of them are high in fat and empty calories. They all seem to have more salt than is healthy. Salt permits your body to retain water and weight. Portion size is very important in weight reduction.

I usually switch to a small plate or a saucer when I'm trying to lose weight. That helps control the amount I eat. I also avoid anything that is prepared, cooking what I want from the raw materials that I control. Your body probably burns from 1800-2200 calories a day. Eat less than this and exercise, and your weight will come slowly down.

That eating less means measuring things you eat. It isn't a bad idea to keep a diary of your food intake, your exercise and your weight.

My breakfast this morning (I'm reducing too) was one cup of dry cereal, one made without sugar and one cup of skim milk. For lunch, I'll have a sandwich... or maybe only half and a piece of fruit. Supper will be 100 grams of turkey, half an ear of corn and some fruit.

I recently had abdominal surgery so I am restricted in exercise. I walk for as long as I can, usually ten minutes at least four times a day. This usually pushes me up to a mile or mile and a half (2km). I don't sit when I can stand and I do little weight (1kg) lifting exercises four times a day.

These things can be done. If you have trouble doing them on your own, there are support groups that will help and let you help others.

Good luck,

Because the navy quite does not assume a lot out of them. The PT isn't rough in ANY department, there are ladies that cross at the male specifications and wager what? They do not need a few exquisite genetic make up, they are no longer butchy, they are no longer taking roids. They're those that simply ******* take a look at. That's all, they are simply inclined to place forth the hassle. But like I stated, the navy does not assume a lot out of feminine troops. If jessical lynch used to be a person she could have got a dishonorable discharge for cowardice and no longer having her gear in operating order, on account that her rifle used to be rusted close and he or she his below a humvee. But she wasn't so it is adequate... That's variety of the norm. In too many locations feminine troops don't seem to be anticipated to paintings, do any hard work, or push themselves in any respect. I disagree with a couple of posts. For one top is not a proscribing element on run instances, atleast no longer at the stage that the military is watching for. I had a CO that used to be five'five" and ran an eleven:30 two mile, in order that argument is bs. Secondly weren't speaking approximately the Olympics, had been speaking approximately a scan that are supposed to be effortless for someone in form. No one is calling them to bench 225+ lbs, Thr pushup does not even push you are complete frame weight, most effective approximately 50-60 percentage. There's no excuse why anybody can not run an eight minute mile for two miles. It's no longer a marathon or some thing rough. Yes there are bodily variations, similar to ladies being extra susceptible to hip accidents while sporting heavy weights, however there is no longer ample of 1 to wherein you quite can not assume a feminine to participate in at the male's pt scan...
