Regiment Fitness Test

[Tomm0123]

Got my regiment fitness test comin up and just want to know what minimum requirements are.

Got told by a recruiter that someone recently did a 9.30min run, 40 press ups in a min and 40 sit ups and didn't pass.

This was a massive shock as I have thought, up to now, its 10.30min and about 20 of each.

My question is, is the information he's given me correct or is it 'scare tactics' to try encourage me?

Cheers for any and all help cos its put me really on edge :S

Wel when i did mine mate, i got 41 sit ups and 48 press ups and did the run in 10mins. But the requirements are 41 sit ups and 40 press ups and like you said in 10.30min.

So must be scaring you abit, they guy at the gym i went to took me to a room and showed me some paper work with the requirements

Good luck

Cheers for all help, really put my mind at ease.

Just have 2 more questions and you then become gods in my book.

The running - is it a manual treadmill or can I ask for it to be set to a passable speed
Sit-ups - can the PT pin my feet down or use a bar etc or not?

Test is next week, currently doin 55 press ups per min and 45-50 sit ups (with feet under sofa, hence the question).

Thanks for any and all help and I'll post back after my test

Next step is selection and back to gym 3days a week so I should be ok on that.
