How good is this for a 15 yr old?
|
I'm a 15 year old, male, 5'9, 116lbs (i know, severely underweight). I've never really done REAL cardio before. I ran 2.6 miles in about an hour. I know i have to be MUCH faster to join the Military but i have 3 years to prepare so is that good? Do you think i should have pushed it?

Yeah, your time is way off so far, but you know that already. 3 years is plenty of time though, you could be maxing the PT test in 3 years time if you really wanted to bust your hump.
I'd say constantly be pushing yourself harder, but, don't hurt yourself in the process. Here's a great resource of tips for preparing for military PT tests...

Establish a goal (find the max PT score for your age, and shoot for that), and just keep pushing yourself towards that. When your bodys tired and wants to quit, think of what it is thats driving you to do this.
Don't underestimate the value of rest between workouts too. Break your muscles down one day, then let them rest and rebuild the next. Muscles become stronger when they heal themselves, and pushing yourself to the max everyday isn't going to do you any good. This is why people who work out everyday vary their exercises, doing upperbody one day, and lower body the next. That old saying "Pain is weakness leaving the body".... its harsh, but true. That burning feeling you get is muscle tissue breaking down a little. When it heals back up, it's stronger the next time around. |

Boot camp/basic is designed to bring people up from unqualified to that services standards. I'm not saying to stop. But I just want you to not sweat it too much. It will definitely not hurt if you're in better condition then the knuckle-head next to you. |

You sound like you just want a bunch of praise.
I know 15 year olds who are a hell of a lot faster than that. I sure wasn't and still am not, but for the military you need to be alot faster.
Like you said, you have time, so take it and don't hurt yourself. The military will always be there. |

You can do it. Start out slow and work your way up to your goal. After you join the military they will get you into the shape they want you in. Stay strong. |
