Help your PFT Sit-ups and Pull-ups




Timed workouts can help increase your numbers on PFTs and are great for increasing strength.

Timed Workout (no rest, or resting in the ready postion only)
Repeat twice
:- 1 minute of push-ups- 1 minute of sit-ups

Repeat three times:- 30 seconds of push-ups- 30 seconds of sit-ups,

Repeat four times:- 15 seconds of push-ups- 15 seconds of sit-up

Once this becomes easy, increase the times X2.


If you are lifting or exercising regularly you can just add a timed workout like this in your program twice a week and you will see a difference in your scores. If you are not working out regular and are just interested in improving your numbers in these two areas, doing something like this 3 times a week can make you improve and get you use to performing under the clock.
