Hey everyone. I'm entering college in the fall, and although I didn't apply for a scholarship this year I am definitely doing Army ROTC when I get to campus. However, because I didn't really decide that this is what I wanted to do until winter this year, I did not start working on my fitness as soon as I should have. Although I have been working really hard at the gym and running, I'm worried about my pushups. I am a female who was not a athlete in high school (although I was still quite active with horseback riding) so I wasn't starting at a great level of fitness. I am proud to say that I am pretty fit now overall, but as of now I can only do 12 push ups in a row. Although it doesn't seem like alot, this is such a big improvement from only being able to do 1 when I started training. I'm good with sit ups and running, but I'm worried that I won't get to the 19 push ups that I need to pass the test in the fall. Recently I feel like I have plateaued with my number. Do you have any tips for me as I train this summer? Do you think the goal is attainable? Now that school is over I plan on lifting/body weight stuff at the gym 5 days a week and running 3 days.
Thank you for your help
