Alright, I have a really busy schedule Atm, I work from 7AM-5:30PM. So I don't really have alot of time to workout and such. My job is pretty leniant so I can study my ASVAB book sometimes, and even sometimes do a few push-up's and sit-up's when the boss runs to do something :laugh: But what i'm wondering if anyone could make any suggestions as to where and when I could sneak in certain workouts that would highly benefit me for joining the USAF, and going into BMT. I work Mon-Fri, the times listed above. I usually don't go to bed until like ~1 AM. So I get just enough sleep for work. I was thinking maybe wake up at ~5AM and run for like an hour, then get back home at 6, and get ready, but I don't know. I would sometimes do random rep's of Push-up's and Sit-up's, I just don't know when & how much to do. On average I can do about 40 Push-up's before my arms start shaking. And about ~50-60 Sit-ups. I don't have access to a pool either, so I can't really swim :( Any advice welcome! Thanks.

This is the air force.....let's not go overboard here. The running will be a great benefit to you. We didn't swim in Basic, except for the obstacle course when our hands slipped on the rope going over that wonderfully clear pool of water. oops.....then again doing the monkey bars over the nasty river. How in the hell can you hang on to monkey bars when 100 sweaty airman have gone ahead of you. Relax, basic is a place to get you all thinking and talking the same language. That's what they do, and they are very successful at it. Another hint...When they shout "sound off" don't sing "Yankee doodle dandy"....it apparently embarrassed the TI's.......tee hee....

I'm in the Army and swear by crossfit.com. Most of the workouts do not take a lot of time and can me modified so that they do not take a lot of equipment. The current Air Force PT test consists of pushups, running, crunches and body composition. Make sure you focus on these areas and have a good height to weight ratio. Working out is very important in the military. Every Army school I've gone to I've been sent to because I'm in excellent shape.
