How can I do more situps or pushups?

I'm planning on joining the Navy as soon as I'm done with High School, but I'm worried. So far, I'm 5'5'' and I weigh ~100 points and can run 1 mile in 9:42 and being extremely tired. They require someone 18 years old to run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes and I'm sure I can do that, even if it will take work. What I'm more worried about is the situps and pushups. I can do 25 situps and then my abdomen will become painful and sore, so I would like to know how to avoid that and keep going. With pushups I do about 10 and my face turns red and Its like my head is full of blood. Any way to avoid this and do more situps and pushups overall?

    Just do as many pushups as you can every day, wait a minute, then repeat. Do the same thing for situps, and the numbers will get bigger and bigger. My friend did a similar thing but with mountain climbers and full body crunches and now has a six pack, so adding those may be good too.

    Source(s): Going from 25 max pushups to 50 over the winter... And I didn't even do it every day.
