Questions & Answers
How many push-ups do soldiers do?

Male recruits between the ages of 17 and 21 must complete 42 push-ups, 53 sit-ups, and a two-mile run in 15 minutes and 54 seconds or less. Women in the same age group must complete 19 push-ups, 53 sit-ups, and a two-mile run in 18 minutes and 54 seconds or less.
What's the fastest way to get in shape for the military?

One of the most effective ways the Army helps its soldiers improve their endurance is through endurance runs called 30/60 and 60/120. In these runs, you jump as fast as you can for 30 seconds, then walk for 60 seconds, then jump for 30 seconds, and so on.
Why do soldiers run so much?

The main reason running is necessary is that it trains "endurance," and endurance is a good thing to have because it is desirable for a good soldier to have the energy to continue doing the things he must do as part of his duties
What might prevent you from joining the military?

To enlist, you must be qualified under applicable federal laws and regulations or have an appropriate waiver. There are standards related to age, citizenship, physical fitness, education, height/weight, criminal record, medical condition, and drug history that may prevent you from joining the military.

The life of a soldier

Daily life is punctuated by theoretical courses and field training. Since a soldier can be sent on a mission at any time, sports activities and equipment maintenance are also part of his daily routine.

I can only do training military ?

Civilians cannot participate in the same training that recruits receive during boot camp. The only way to receive military training without committing is to enroll in a private military training course. There are a wide range of training courses, or bootcamps, available.

Do soldiers train every day?

Much of the army's physical training takes place outdoors, not in a well-equipped gym, so many of the exercises soldiers regularly perform use only their own body weight as resistance. This means these exercises can be performed anywhere, anytime, and in many cases, daily.
