Maybe this will help some people, or maybe it won't. Nonetheless, I figured that I would tell everyone how the Maryland State Police PT's applicants. First, you do as many pushups as possible in one minute; your chest must touch your partner's fist on the ground. Second, immediately following the pushups, switch to the situp position and do as many possible in one minute. Average time to recover from pushups is around 5 seconds. Third, no more than 7 minutes following situps, begin 1.5 mile run. I've never been a fitness person by any stretch of the imagination, but this PT got me into shape. The way I see it, with a longer break (as with the Navy,) your run time will lower dramatically. Also, find some people to yell at you with Smokey hats. That too will dramatically improve all phases of your PRT. Back to the couch.
