What does the physical training entail?

  • Cadets participate in physical training three times per week. Two sessions a week will be at mandatory times. Cadets choose from one of multiple "flex" periods to complete the three hour PT requirement. 
  • The physical training is designed to help you achieve a fitness level that meets Air Force standards and will mainly consist of calisthenics and running.
  • The Air Force tests the number of push-up and sit-ups you can do in one minute as a gauge of strength, but we also perform lunges, jumping jacks, leg raises, etc. to help build overall body strength.
  • We also play team sports such as soccer, ultimate frisbee, basketball, volleyball, etc. as part of our PT program in order to both have fun and stay in shape to meet fitness standards.
  • The Air Force run is one and a half miles, and you receive points based on your time.
