Boston: How To Pass The Air Force Physical Fitness Test With Ease

Boston,

If you’re reading this, you probably either want to know what you’ll have to do for the air force physical fitness test and/or how to train for it.

This article will cover both.

What Is Involved In The Air Force Physical Fitness Test?

You’ll be doing exercises in the following 4 areas: aerobic (running), body-composition, push-ups, and crunches.

Now, you’ll be rated on a scale of 1-100, but the trick comes with the age groups. You see, with different age groups comes different demands.

Just to state the obvious, the older you are the less you’ll be required to do.

If you want a full list of these ages and the requirements you can visit

3 Steps To Training For The Air Force Physical Fitness Test

1) The first thing you’ll want to do is write down the top grade you can get for each category. For example, 60 pushups would be a perfect 10 for a 20-25 year old.

After you do this, add a few reps and shoot for that. I would personally shoot for 70-75 just to be safe (and maybe impress your future officers).

2) Since you’re going to be training to failure during your air force physical fitness test most likely, I would suggest training to failure while you are preparing for the test. However, this is taxing on your body so do not do it everyday. You can try it every other day or ever 2 days, depending on certain factors such as how much you eat, your genetics, etc.

3) The third thing you’ll want to do to pass your air force physical fitness test with ease is to start learning how to visualize. It’s going to help you tremendously through the grueling workouts the air force will put you through, and it’s going to help you reach your goals faster.

The requirements for the air force physical fitness test aren’t too hard, but if you’re out of shape now they will prove to be a challenge.

Using these 3 techniques, and making sure you prepare in advance, the air force physical fitness test should be a walk in the park for you.

And if you need to lose a lot of weight to make it easier (remember, doing anything with your body will be much easier if you weigh less), there are a large variety of books that are available to help you get a fit body in the shortest amount of time as possible.
