Work Out
Just to emphasis the work out to prepare on more time. My son's battalion had about 2/3 of the Freshman scholoarship fail the APFT the first time. The culprit was sit-ups in almost all cases. Most of the guys are atheletes, but these muscles just are not used to the "real" sit-up. So don't blow it off. As someone said its not a "Crunch". Also for futher motivation, DS's battalion does 3 day a week PT. But he found out if you are not at the 80 level for each measurement, you get to do 5 day PT with the additional days at 05:30. Needless to say he's motivated to get to the 80+level quickly. Again in his case the culprit....sit-ups.
