Physical Test

[Bobby147]

What is the sequence of Physical Test?

Is it like

Sit ups >> Push ups >> Hand Grip >> Cardio

??

I m worried about PT !!! :crybaby:

 

[GrahamD]

It was step test, hand grip test, pushups, then situps for me.

It really shouldn‘t make any kind of difference what order they do it in though. It‘s a pretty basic test.

 

[Bobby147]

Thanx !!

 

[Bobby147]

I have one more question, please.

How many times we have to repeat the steps squence in step test? How much time I will have to do the step thing? I am asking so that I can practice it.

I just did my fitness exam today. I did it in the same order as GrahamD. The step test is done to a pre-recorded beat and a voice that says "up, two, three, down, two three." You go for a few minutes, until the music ends. The examiner takes your pulse and if it‘s under the limit, you do it again at a faster pace, until your heart rate goes too high.

Running is a better way to train for the step test than going up some stairs. If you can do your 2.5 km within the time requirements, the step test is doable.

Thanks Wongskc :soldier: and GrahamD :gunner: , I think I will pass the PT with little more practice.....

Thanx

Bobby :akimbo:

Dude, the more you think about that test the more likleu youll be to fail. Try to not think of it as the hardest test. And when they say 19 aim for 25. Dont worry man im sure ull pass.

BTW- i had the same order to lol.

When it comes to the PT Test , strive to do better, it will benefit you in the long run. I was told along time ago, by my Instructor in Basic Training, ( He was P.P.C.L.I.), " It is easy to meet expectations, but difficult to exceed them".

 

[Old Cent Hand]

Further to my last, anyone can meet the " Minimum Standard", but it doesn‘t hurt to go the " Extra Mile". Because in the end, going the " Extra Mile", is rewarding to you as an individual. It builds self confidence, and esteem.

You can‘t practice for a step test. Go outside and RUN !!! It is the best way to improve your cardio-vascular capacity.

Jungle: You can practice for a step test. Many exercise places sell step sets that come with tapes for keeping pace. Alternatively, get a pace counter and use a set of stairs.

It won‘t be the best way to improve your cardio, but you can practice steps.

 

[fleeingjam]

I dont know about that one... out on the field during BMQ if you "stepping around" to the music of something youll be in a lot of trouble fast. Thats why you should run like 5km every other day for half the week then measure 2.4km and try to fininsh that under 10 mins for the rest of the week.

 

[BDTyre]

I realize that preparing only for a step test is useless, and the step test has no application in BMQ; I was simply disputing Jungle‘s claim that you can‘t practice for a step test.

Believe it or not, steps are a recognized form of exercise, hence the popularity of stairmasters and step kits. I do steps during the winter because I‘d rather not risk breaking my neck on a frozen sidewalk, but of course if all you do is steps you‘ll be in for a big surprise when you get to BMQ.

Just a suggestion, but perhaps you should have included this in your first post, so that you would not have sounded argumentative... :akimbo:

 

[Bert]

I don‘t think he was argumentative, its just theres various ways of looking at the same idea.
It keeps forums interesting.

 

[MikeM]

Mine went Handgrip, Pushups, Situps, Step-Test.

 

[robbie__hogger]

Just so that you know... you are going to have to run in the winter aswell. It‘s not like the army is going to say, "it‘s cold outside, we should do steps inside". The best way to train for anything to do with cardio is to get outside and go for a run.

I am not trying to create an arguement but really...

 

[BDTyre]

I wasn‘t intending to be argumentative.

And I know I‘ll have to run outside in the winter, but in that situation someone will have hopefully made sure the path is clear. Where I live, not everywhere is salted in the winter, so running can be hazardous
