Hey there,
I hope no one minds me intruding here, but I am a soon to be applicant for the New Zealand Defence Force which will hopefully involve them sending me to ADFA the Australian Defence Academy.
I was just wondering what the most efficient method is to increasing your physical standard scores. I have 6 months until I will be officially tested and I need to make the most of that time.
At the moment I can only do a couple of push-ups so that is the arena that I am most worried about.
Crunches/Sit-ups I am not as worried about but any efficient workouts for increasing my numbers for those would be good.
Running is a interesting one for me also. I am a rower so I have good cardiovascular fitness but it is different to that of a runners fitness. The longest really ever run is about 4 miles but that wouldn't be at an amazingly fast pace. So any ideas on how to get my body used to running would be great.
Hope someone can offer some help
thanks
