run up hills. do lots of lunges. stretch!! flexibility is vital as well. if you can, find a buddy to work out with you. you’ll be surprised how much a small bit of outside motivation will up your adrenaline. be sure to drink lots of water (BUT DO NOT CHUG) and some gaterade/powerade in between.

Your body will naturally want to go faster. Pushups: just do pushups. See where you stand. Do as many as you can. Then cut that number in half and do 3-4 sets of that number. For your situps, just do crunches and side crunches. When you work out, do pushups first then do situps. Once you complete your work out with pushups and situps, do your 25 minute run. Do this for 2 weeks straight, you will be surprised where you are at. SSG Schramm US Army 15 years OIF 2003 US Army Recruiter 2.5 years You will need to run for time. Like 25 minutes non stop.

Do leg lifts, sit-ups and push ups. Don't worry TOO much about preparing though, the whole goal of basic training is to get you into shape. RUN! Do leg lifts, sit-ups and push ups.

Start slow and for short distances and increase each week. I found swimming to be an excellent preperation as well since I as working my entire body. If you don't have a pool, do a lot of pull-ups, sit-ups, and pushups. Jumping jacks are good too. Make sure you hydrate and stretch. Watch what you eat. Cut out all junk food and soda.

You wont be made to use any work out machines in basic since they want you to use your body weight so I suggest slimming down to cuz being heavy aint gonna help one bit.
