press ups question!
hi, i have been wondering for a while whether girls have to do girls press ups at army selection, or the same ones as men? i have been working on both as i am not sure! thanks.
Re: press ups question!
Standard male press ups are carried out in the Army, the tests are now gender fair!

Re: press ups question!
how many press ups did you have to do on the evening PT session?
Re: press ups question!
they'll have you doing things like sprinting from one side of the gym to the other, doing 10 pressups and back again.
Doing this in cycles from 10, 8, 6, 4, 2... for example.
You will also do this for such things as knee jumps, sit ups, crunches, tricep dips etc.
Just put in the preperation, follow the info they give you in your Army leaflets / books upon applying, and try keep pace the best you can.
The PT session is just to give you an idea of what it will be like during training, but they will build your fitness up from a ground level so don't worry about it.
Don't worry if your not keeping the pace, there will be a great variety of fitness levels there.
Just don't give up, do your best and enjoy yourself.
Providing you put a good time in for your run, i.e under 11 minutes, be confident in your icebreaker, get stuck in on your team tasks and do a couple of heaves i'm sure you'll pass with a minimum of a B
