Anonymous asked: How's your fitness right now? You should do a before and after test.

Answer:

Well, I’ve been getting ready for BMT, so it’s better then it was a few months ago, though I’m still a little embarrassed at how out of shape I am. 

I don’t know what my 5k run time is currently, but my mile time is about 9:30. I don’t think I can do that for three miles straight though.

I can do about 50 situps consecutively at the moment, a minute and a half long plank, can’t do any pullups, can only do about five pushups low enough to count (by military standards).

I don’t have access to a real gym so I don’t know what my squat ability is currently. I can bench 50 pounds. I’m not sure if I do deadlifts correctly so I’m holding off on them until I’m sure I won’t hurt myself, but I did 70 pounds no problem last time I tried.

I should have added ‘survive basic training’ to my fitness goals. Of course, my short term goal is just to pass the pt test->

Women: Physical Training Targets 
1.5 Mile Run             Push-Ups             Sit-Ups      Abdominal Circumference
14:26                            18                      38                         31.5”

I can do it all minus the pushups, and I think I am still a little too round.
