For running, I would work up from a 1-mile run 3 times a week plus 30 minutes of bike riding or gym machine cardio 2 times per week to a 5-mile run every morning plus a 1-mile run every afternoon, 5 days per week. Add a mile to your runs every 2-4 weeks until you are doing 5 miles, 3 days per week plus 30 minutes of biking or gym machine cardio 2 days per week. Then replace the gym cardio with 2 or 3 more 5-mile runs. Then add evening 1 mile runs. Before you go to basic training, you should be doing pushups, situps and a 5-mile run every morning 5 days per week and pushups, situps, and a 1-mile run every afternoon, 5 days per week. Once you are up to that level, you should try mixing interval training into your long runs 2-3 days per week (run as fast as you can for 2 minutes, then run at a slow-normal pace for 2 minutes, repeating this process for 5 miles). You might even try adding a 25-rep set of leg press or squats after every run. Remember to always stretch before and after you run or do leg exercises with weights. For pushups and situps improvement, I would do 5 sets each of pushups and situps (as many pushups as you can do withut stopping and 50 situps or as many as you can do without stopping), working up from twice a week to about 10 times a week.

Daily: ab crunches (support neck, raise up using only ab muscles) - start with two sets of 20 reps, work up to three sets of endless reps... planks (push-up position, support body on elbows, legs straight, engage abs to support, not back, hold position) - start with two 30-second planks with 15 seconds rest in between side planks (rest on one elbow, keep body straight) - same as above, on each side wall squat (back against wall, thighs parallel to floor, hold position) - start at 1 minute, work up to 5 minutes bicycles (back to floor, raise torso up off floor, bicycle legs, elbows go in alternating direction from legs) - start with two sets 30 reps, work up to 3 sets endless reps... push-ups - start with two sets of 5, real push-ups, not the girly ones, work up to 2-4 sets of reps totalling 50, or just 50 at once For a more detailed description of those exercises, you should be able to Google them... That should help. A little. Boot camp itself should finish the job... Good luck Warm-up/stretch, then do cardio: run – ease into running, get into a routine, 30 minutes a day, take 1-2 days off a week; once you have the routine, work on speed – shoot for a 10-12 minute mile (5-6 mph).

Daily:
ab crunches (support neck, raise up using only ab muscles) – start with two sets of 20 reps, work up to three sets of endless reps…
planks (push-up position, support body on elbows, legs straight, engage abs to support, not back, hold position) – start with two 30-second planks with 15 seconds rest in between
side planks (rest on one elbow, keep body straight) – same as above, on each side
wall squat (back against wall, thighs parallel to floor, hold position) – start at 1 minute, work up to 5 minutes
bicycles (back to floor, raise torso up off floor, bicycle legs, elbows go in alternating direction from legs) – start with two sets 30 reps, work up to 3 sets endless reps…
push-ups – start with two sets of 5, real push-ups, not the girly ones, work up to 2-4 sets of reps totalling 50, or just 50 at once

For a more detailed description of those exercises, you should be able to Google them…

That should help. A small. Boot camp itself should end the job…

Excellent luck

He would do this a couple tims a week and started doing it more and more often as bootcamp came closer. It worked out pretty well for him. Passed with flying colors. Of course he was doing 2 sets of 20 untill he could pull off 40 of each ( situps and pushups).
