How to get fit before ARMY Basic Training 💪🏼

[bigbomb]

I'm overweight and I'm doing this! I'm super excited to lose weight and enlist

[animerose]

I like this very straightforward and no crap about needing to lift weights makes it much more obtainable

[RobertRuiz-pf]

Amen. Just simply STAY ACTIVE an STOP smokin dat shit manee

HIIT and Tabita workouts are good too. They help when “corrective action” happens amongst your peers cuz there’s always that one guy that gets the group in trouble.

[Joel-yvwz]

Just in a general sense
Do not
I repeat, DO NOT skip warm up and stretching

Just wanted to thank you. I started at 288 and I’m down to 245. Your YouTube short helped a ton!

Core strength I can not stress enough. You need core strength.

As someone looking to enlist a lil later in life that's moderately active, THANK YOU❤

[MichaelaJG]

These are good tips. I am someone who would like to go into the British army but I think the rules still apply no matter what military you join.

If you're going into the coast guard, get some swimming in! Especially if you have some time before Basic Training, start with swimming before running. I'm about to turn 17 and will graduate early and go to basic training next year!!!

[Thaumaturge]

Good tips. Also try to work with your recruiting station. See if they have a program to get folks ready to ship.

I’m in my 50s and this is a good suggestion for me.

If you going in Marine Corps and can’t run a minimum of 3 miles, do at least 10 pull ups easily, and do 5O sit ups easily, don’t go.. seriously.. go physically fit and ready, makes the heads games easier..Semper Fi

Thank you SSG, this has been extremely helpful.

[deadshot_reaper]

I went through basic training about 20 years ago. I did lots of pushups and long distance jogging

[Gods_Aviator]

Im prepping to go to MEPS. Reading FM 7-22 H2F has been a huge help. I started running every day a week ago and doing preparation drills each day for about a month now. I eat almost no fast food and have added more fruits and veggies to my diet. I also get in pull ups periodically throughout the day maxing out each time. I take the weekends off to recover. Ive also started lifting weight periodically, adding more weight as i go.
Went from about 120 lbs a month ago to over 130 lbs today. 🙌
