I go to the gym often, especially more recently to prepare for BMT. But I’ve been really stressing about push-ups, I can barely do one. Thank you for the reassurance!! ☺️

AF BMT was pretty easy physically, though I did still see a lot of people struggling with the run. So maybe just get comfy with running 1.5 miles, and you'll be good.

Yeah, I’ll be a red belt for sure. I’m great with explosive energy, but I’m horrible at retaining or regaining that energy for long runs. I’ve been running every other day, but I can feel when my strength burns out. I can travel further in a sprint than I can while jogging.

Any advice on sit-ups? I can barely lift up all the way. 😭

You mentioned running and push ups what about the sit up portion? What do you do if your struggling to do a sit up? Any advice you can give?

Are there medical waivers you can get to be exempt from doing certain exercises like sit ups?

@MikaylaRoseDaly Жыл бұрын

Yes but not during basic training. When you are in the operational Air Force and if you have developed a condition or have an injury that prevents you from completing sit ups, you can receive a waiver.

are they particular about the form of your hands while doing pushups? my wrist is very tight and isnt flexible enough to bend 90 degrees, but doing pushups with a closed fist like im punching the ground solves this problem

@MikaylaRoseDaly Жыл бұрын

This is from the Air Force website. " The push-up is one assessment of muscular fitness. Place your palms or fists on the floor, hands will be slightly wider than shoulder width apart with your elbows fully extended. Your feet may be no more than 12 inches apart and should not be supported, braced or crossed. Your body should maintain a rigid head to heel form. This is the up/starting position. Begin by lowering your body to the ground until your upper arms are at least parallel to the floor (elbows bent at 90 degrees) then return to the up position (arms fully extended but not locked). This is one repetition. Your chest may touch, but not rest or bounce on the floor. If you do not come down parallel to the floor, the push-up will not count. Resting can only be done in the up position. You may remove your hands or feet from the floor or bridge or bow your back, but only in the up/rest position, resting any other body part on the floor is not allowed. If resting occurs in the down position, the push-up portion of test will be terminated and your score will be based on the correct number of push-ups performed up to that point. Your breathing should be as normal as possible. Make sure you do not hold your breath. You have one minute to perform as many correct push-ups as you are able. Your counter will count the correct number of push-ups aloud. Your counter will not count incorrect push-ups. Your counter will tell you what you are doing wrong and will repeat the last number of correct push-ups until you correct the error. The total number of correct pushups in one minute is recorded as your score."

It could vary depending on the MTI and who you get as a partner, but having just graduated, I can say they really weren’t very particular. One of my MTI’s even encouraged me to switch stances when my arms get tired. The only thing they really cared about when I was doing it was that you don’t rest on the ground.

It varies based on gender and age. There’s a calculator online

look up your gender age and average amount that you should be able to do it’s what they go off of

0:18 If you can't do Air Force, you shouldn't be in the military period. As she said, it's not as physically demanding as other branches. You wouldn't have to swim like you have to do in the Navy, and you wouldn't have to have long backbreaking ruck marches in time limits, or as hard heavy running like the Marines or Army.

@53cards92 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, I wish I knew that before rucking 4 times a week… My calves are like springs now, but I can’t help feeling I wasted time that I could’ve used for running.
