Ace the Physical Readiness Test (PRT): Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Police, & Recruits

By Stew Smith

Don't Blow Off the PRT

Ace the Pushup, Plank, 1.5-mile run (Pullups added too)

*Updated for the latest changes in military and law enforcement fitness testing.*

So many blow off scoring well on their basic military fitness test and fail to get selected to attend a certain school, training pipeline, or even make rank. Many college students' ROTC scholarships come down to a simple fitness test. That is a $100,000 fitness test in some school ROTC programs IT MATTERS

Go to Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, even USMC Recruits (IST) or about 50% of law enforcement academies across the United States and you will see these PRT Standard:

Pushups, Plank Pose, 1.5-mile run.- (pullups also included)

Even the Marine Corps uses this test with its recruits, with added pullups.

Now, there is an ebook that addresses the PRT standard, but it's for beginners and intermediate fitness levels. This is not a Special Ops prep program, but rather for beginners and intermediate-level athletes to build a fitness foundation to Ace the PRT. While we will focus on the basics of the testing elements, you will also build the entire core system, legs / hips, upper body, running, swimming (optional), biking and rowing. More than half the military and law enforcement personnel have to do this PRT That is why I call this training plan the PFT Bible

CORE Testing Updates: Now updated for plank poses, as many branches are finding ways to replace situps/crunches with plank poses.

Go to your training in the shape of your life with this program to help ace the standard Physical Readiness Test (PRT). Pushups, planks, and running are featured in this program, with weights available as optional training tools.
