How do you measure fit?

I think Sticky and Mr Mojo have summed it up: As fit as you can get, you will need it for the basics IF you pass prmc!

So
... the test will start in 15 seconds ... start of level one ... bleep ...

You want to be as fit as you possible can,When i went to my prmc i was told they wanted maximum scores-no excuses. You want to be as fit as you possible can-but remember you still won't be fit enough..........

Absolutely, going down just barely hitting the maxes (i was doing 45 pushups, 70 situps and 5 heaves when i went down) isnt good enough, since you will be dehydrated, tired, and have arms made of lead in the gym tests. I barely managed 27 pushups, 37 situps and 3 heaves.

Fitness isn't all of it aswell, they are looking for determination. If you haven't got this then it doesn't matter how fit you are. They somehow manage to push even the fittest people to their limits just so they can look how determined they are and how they are able to push themselves when completely f***ed. I didn't max out at all yet I got a 6 for risk rating. The risk rating is to do with whether or not you will be a big risk on passing out of training. 1 being the highest risk and 6 being the lowest risk. I got this because I was able to push myself and I was determined.
