I have the assessment day beginning of August currently doing strength training 4 times a week as well as this I’m doing 3 cardio sessions a week which include interval training 5 min warm up (jog) 30 second sprint and 30 second walk for 10 sets then I will also do a 10k run and I will go on a bike machine for an hour trying to slowly increase my distance and the intensity on that also then occasionally will throw in a 2km best effort obviously I do these cardio sessions on separate days to allow my body time to recover but still feel I’m not doing enough 🤣🤣 I think it’s jus me getting in my own head tho pretty sure I should smash it 💪🏼

You are doing more than enough. You will crush it

The beep test caught me out at selection as I'd only practised the 2km (best effort was a 8.53), got a 9.2 I think on it though, not the best but enough to pass what I needed comfortably haha 😅 Have you done a video on shaping a beret? That would be helpful for a lot of us new recruits I'm sure mate haha 😄

@@Pubg_Abbas_T61a5 cheers mate, I did mine with a lad who maxed out the beep test lol so my effort didn't seem that great but tbf he was a re-enlister. I went reme though so the requirement was likely much lower than infantry but I can't remember now. I think I had to do a 10:30 2km and I can smash that though lol 😆

I got fit to one day soon hopefully join the British army. It’s my dream so I trained with the greatest army in the world, my cousin, a U.S. soldier by training with him every day.

​@MilitaryFitness Very true. To touch on that actually, what would you say is the better diet to help with cardio workouts? I tend to hike and jog alot and do like to use boots and a heavier pack as I've found it helps with endurance. However I do want to do better and if you say diet, diet it is. I am thinking what with Europe how it is, I'd like to get fitter now and get a head start. Am thinking the Reserves would be a good shout and when needed can step in and bypass waiting for call-ups and such. Long as I'm not sent to the RAF, will be content 😅

Thanks for this mate quick question if you already have a full body workout could I include a run pre or after workout and would that be helpful?

Hi just wanted to ask if the beep test is differently easier than the 2KM run itself?

I prefer the beep test but others prefer the 2km run. It’s personal preference really.

The beeo test is different in that you have to keep pushing harder and harder the 2km run is about consistency. Personally I found the beep test harder than a 2km run...

so last year i was going on 9-12+ hikes and i took diazepam to help with muscle cramps, i decided to do a 7 day water only fast (autophagy) after a few months of doing hiking as id read the benefits of doing a strict water fast. on day 5/6 (i had only drank water and nothing to eat, did not sleep either at all) i began to feel (from full of energy) to weak and my muscles seized up, i took a diazepam and what not to break the fast and i had a seizure. would this be treated as provoked and assessed individually ? thanks in advance - tried to keep as short as possible

The basic test is very simple, if you're going for a trade that needs the TST then it's the GCSE stuff you need to know. I had to go online and revise as its be a while since I did my gcse's lol You'll be fine mate just keep on top of your skills and relax when you're in there. I thought I'd done shit because I was literally the last one to finish my TST and iirc I got 45 put of 50 correct lol
