FYI, those “chances” you get after failing a PT test come with administrative consequences. Refer to AFI 36-2905. Just letting you all know before you get a false sense of reality. PT tests are serious, and failing multiple times can lead to involuntary administrative separation. Good luck to all of you joining!

This is kinda how I passed my final PT test in BMT back in 2008. My friend at the time told me he wasn't going to allow me to fail and he told me to run with him and match his speed the entire time. That man helped me obtain an 11:45 run time which I was never, ever able to pull off again during my tenure as an Airman lol. I'm forever grateful to him.

af pt tests are super easy, especially for females

When I did pt tests, I found it helpful to break up the push-ups and sit-ups into increments of 15. I would figure out how many increments I would need to max, and then just kept track of how many times I counted to 15.

I dont know why but I love her voice, its like soothing and calming.

I agree with some of the comments. In order to get a better run time is strength training girl. Work on the legs! Let the legs carry you so you don't get fatigued as fast. Upper body & lower body. At least 3 days a week who know you might end up liking it an ho more than 3 days. My run sucked so bad, an I deadicated my time to Strength training and a lot more improved than just my PT scores. So take it from a fellow airforce sister! It will help.

One of the 15 or 16 year olds in my group did 109 push ups.. Like, I was shook.

You can always prepare physically and make that aspect a bit easier but mentally, that's a bit tougher to train for...as far as how they mentally reshape you from a civilian into a US Airman. It's one of those things you just have to adapt to on the spot. You can do it though, countless women/men through the years have done it and as brutal/scary as it may seem in boot camp, one thing you really learn is that you're capable of more than you ever realized. So never give up.

Thank you so much I love your channel!! 😍

Did AFROTC a couple years back. We did the PT test twice a semester if I recall correctly. I'd get around a 95 every time and I was pretty average physically. The hardest part is definitely the running. It took about 9 minutes to run the 1.5 mile. We had one guy in our wing who could run the 1.5 literally in 7 minutes. He was pretty much able to sprint the whole thing, I have no idea how he did that. The Air Force had it pretty easy at least compared the Marine guys, they have to run 3 miles. On top of that, they frequently did ruck marches around campus super early in the morning way before we even started our PT, and we did PT at 6:00am 3 times a week. I love the Air Force tho. Although I was impressed with how much rougher and tougher the Marine and Army cadets seemed I really didn't care. I was so proud to be an Airman. I only lasted one semester, I got dropped from the program because I have tattoos on my fingers and neck...😞

Wow great video, very helpful!

Your videos are so helpful.. thank you!!

As soon as she got on the camera i smiled and idk why 😅

Keep up the good work. I know I'm a bit late to your channel, however very informative. 😉 You got a brother 👍

Love your cancel ❤️ lol you give me hope with this PT test

You can run faster by how they do in track at the very end where they run with their hands behind you, it makes you run faster

Back in my day, after reporting to my permanent duty station, I had to cover a 1.5 mile distance in less than 18 minutes once a year. That was too easy. You could almost walk it and still pass. I set a personal goal of doing the 1.5 miles in less than 10 minutes. It took me several months of trying, but I was able to do it. I had to experiment with different strategies. Do I run fast at the beginning or save my energy for a sprint at the end. That was 40 years ago. I know my ticker would not be willing to do that today.

You’re awesome thank you so much!💙

What tests do you have to pass to get into the Air Force? I know there’s the ASVAB, but is there any other one?

Do you receive more points for categories that you max out before the time? For example: if I got my mile run down to 8 mins…would I get extra points?

Thanks for the info and for the demonstration!!!

Thank you for this!!

Your arms are allowed to flare out during the push ups? I’m actually trying to practice for the coast guard and your videos are helpful

How much time is allotted between each of the exercises? I do not see a reference anywhere on the net..

Before basic training how many push-ups could you do? Did you work out before bmt?

After you do your first sit up, does your back or shoulder blade have to touch the ground to do another sit up or were you able to tilt your back close to the ground?

Perfect video! The most helpful out there, truly remarkable! Thank you for taking your time to make this, you're awesome! Thanks for the tips on the situps, I was doing mine where I lost energy faster and now I know why lol

Maybe I missed it, but how long of a rest do you get in between events?

Dear Elora, So I will be leaving for Basic literally in less than 5 days :O so I have been trying to stay as positive as I possibly can. My point is I have been pretty worried about how i will perform physically because I'm really not that great or prepared in my opinion. So my question just for something to go off of, about how many sit ups/ push ups could you do when you first entered BMT?

Are you allowed to wear knee and ankle compression braces during the run?

Awesome video!!!

What is your routine how often? Do you break it up run days, callenstenic days ?

My family genetically has some kind of joint problem in the elbows where they can not go straight(if I put my arms flat on a table my wrists are 2-3 inches off the table) once I get to the third push up my elbows start cracking(not breaking) and it sounds gross and it does hurt a lot, like its pinching the nerves.My mom was in the army and managed to do a lot, but that was because she had her arms reset when she was younger.

I’m 16 and I am seriously considering the Air Force but I still need a little encouragement and trying to figure out if it is worth it. But I just practiced the sit ups and push up part and maxed out with a lot of struggling.!!
