- it’s been a long time since i last did the british army assessment for strength and cardio from the ‘100% army fit app’. it’s such a good indicator to see where your overall fitness is at. pretty chuffed with my scores and looking forward to getting more reps and bringing my run time down even more in the future. if you’ve done this test, let me know how you get on in the comments!

I've just been medically cleared, and watching your videos motivates me to train harder everyday
That's awesome to hear!! Best of luck with your journey!

Pre-army training. Takes me back to the days running over hills in Lancashire with kit on my back in the early eighties. Went to Woolwich late 83 and got beasted for 16 weeks. Keep pushing it out girl. 👍
Hi Chelsie. I djd 6 6yrs army then 30 police northern Ireland. My son 6yrs a Cpl in infantry. Keep these videos going. Brilliant to encourage younger people re fitness and great career in Army/airforce/Navy.
Thank you and your son for serving
For your press ups I have used lots of static holds at arms fully out and at the bottom in hold position. Never work to failure on these. You can also throw in negative reps and work on your times for these in single rep per set format. The format should be "grease the groove" and if you have the time and suitable place, do these in a set every 15 mins whilst at home. Do not let the ego force you into getting anywhere near failure on your sets. Try 50 or 60% of max effort. If you can do 18 now I would suggest doing sets of no more than 9 reps 3 times per week x4 sets on these days. Once you hit 30 on your test day (once per week) your can try using weighted vests and buying some gymnastic rings and do these same exercises with this equipment. However, the body takes along time for actual strength to settle in and its best to continue staying at 50 or 60 percent for a period of six weeks. Test your new max effort and on the 6th week move up to 60% of your new max effort. I was taught this years ago by a PTI at Guards depot who was a gymnast, there is a guy called Christopher Somers who teaches this way for all his gymnasts and they smash out the reps. He was the USA Olympic coach. This is by far the quickest/best way to do any press or pushing movement with your bodyweight. There is also some some killer running techniques 'head over foot' and 'same side stride' taught by a guy called David Weck.. If I was going back on military courses I would be using these types of techniques for at least a couple years whilst joining and at regiment to get a really good all round base. You can also throw in some farmers carrying on dumbells, some deadlifting and some kettlebell swings. Have patience, and dont exhaust the nervous system on the strength work. I wish someone had told me this sort of stuff before I joined, we didnt even have internet then. Above all good luck and enjoy your service as time flies by far too fast. p.s I know its a strange thing not working out to max but there is good reason not (injury and overtraining leading to slower results) there is a book by Christopher Somers called Building the gymnastic body. All you need is in there and better explained. Godspeed.
Thank you!
Somebody once told me that the best way to improve on push ups is literally to do more push ups. Not sure how I came across your channel but after years of failed applications I’m finally going to selection next week. Hope the push up advice helps, it helped me.
Best of luck for selection! Funnily enough that’s exactly how I improved my press up ability too!
@@ChelsieAngeles thank you! I feel confident that I’ll pass it.
Bro wat- ur sit ups and squats r insane- motivation for me thanks
Haha, thanks!
Your scores were so good! I would definitely fail on the press-ups I find them the hardest
thank you!! honestly i find them the hardest too - taken me a year to get to this point!
I was just watching your video regarding law and what you studied.
Now army ….
I am very impressed by your drive.
I’ve done the US but not the uk assessment. Loved watching this and keep up the training, you’re great! 🔥🔥
Awesome! Thank you!
To work on your push-ups I do 100 a day not in a row but if I go the toilet I do 10 or if I go downstairs I do 10 so that’s how I’ve got better
I was A combat medical technician which is the short way of saying CMT RAMC Royal Army Medical Corpse Whixh is Equivalent of An NHS paramedic I joined in 1988 was in the first Gulf War between 1990 and 91 I left the army in 2001 And when I came out of the army The NHS said I could not be a paramedic because it's not recognised im the NHS So when they say what you do in the army you can use in Civi Street is Bull But I'm proud of what I did. Was not prepared to start all over again.
Practice doing your press ups (we call them pushups) with your feet elevated on a chair, stool, etc. You get more bang for your buck developing muscle strength with the extra resistance and it makes the regulation ones easier when you are being graded- also keep your head up (looking forward) and concentrate on keeping your back straight. Head up looking forward helps keep the back straight. Use something more substantial (heavier, that can't move- like your sofa) to put your feet under for situps. You can really lay into them if your counter weight can't move. Also try to move your butt further away from your heels a little. The only way to get better running is run more- learn to pace yourself and pick a point towards the end (like the last 300 meters) to just go all out. If you want to puke at the end, you are doing it right. Stay strong!
Good stuff! I highly recommend adding kettlebells to your training program!
i need to!! 😩💨
Yh, that's the only strength training I've been doing, alongside the 2k run. I've recently added clubbells to my training too! I recommend this RUclipsr, if you wanna get into kettlebells 😃 - ruclips.net/user/MarkWildman
Honestly you make every one in the UK proud!!! Keep your spirits up and stay happy ! 😊 I've been thinking about it my self just trying to see what I can do when having a kid at the same time uk 🇬🇧army you all have my full respect you puch your self far !! And for that you go above and beyond to stay on top and the UK 🇬🇧will always a great army because of how far you puch your self !! Keep up the amazing work feel proud of your self 👏!
I know this may be a bit late but if you want to build upper body strength go and speak to your local boxing gym or rugby team, I'm 53 and been out of it for many years, their coaches can organise a program for you that will maximise your whole body, what you are doing is great for fitness, but I'm thinking you want more strength, it will mean a lot of work and no salads, big protein and carbs, steak, oily fish and pasta, the body needs fuel to perform at its best, it's also good to have your mind and goals in the right place that was why I said speak to a coach, they will start you off and build you up gradually.
Take care and stay safe ❤
You're doing well with the fitness.
Omd helloooo helloooo🥹🥹I’m considering applying for the army reserve and I wanna train first like be In a good shape how’s the reserves training like ???? What would you recommend 😞
Hi, I’ve looked up the 100% army fit app but cannot find it anywhere! Is it still available at all do you know?
I bought a vibration plate for doing workout So from doing squats press ups abs training Have a look at it see what you think you also get resistance bands for upper body as well it's like doing 1000 squats in 3 mins because of the vibration. Will also strengthen your thighs and legs and trust me Slapping them works im 55 now and I've been told my legs are still solid muscle I joined when I was 23 Please let me know what you think of my advice
Can you get the app on a Samsung I carnt find it in the app store?
Get a pull up bar and do chin ups and pull ups and controlled downs
How cool.
I can't find the app
Hi 🙏 india
So are you near Fulham Football Ground or did you run miles from where you are based in London? Will certainly help you in the long run all that exercise. :)
Hey Chelsie thank you for your video! May i please ask what time you got for your 2km run/ beep test for the assessment day? :)
thanks! i got 8.4 i think!
Do army nurses joining as officers do the same training?
To get in my army I have to do 2k in 6 minture or less I want to get in the amry so need to get fit
Mate your smashing my times. Im going into reserves too, got my half day Wednesday. I have the same app your using and I find the situps no problem but the slight pauses on the press ups and squats are the ones. Got my run to 9.27 aswell.
ah snap with the phys times! hope the half day went well!
i can do an okay amount of press ups and squats but i cant do more than like 5 sit ups without my back cramping idk why:(
I am join the army I am going through the process now
So how many push up, squat and sit up needs to do to get selected at the AC?
How will you go to medical school if you’re in the army?
i'm delaying medical school and being a medic in the army instead!
@@ChelsieAngeles That's incredible!
250 sit ups?! I'd be done at 40 😂
Please I want to Join the British army from commonwealth but I need someone to host me as a visitor
I can never do that fast 😂
Well how did you get on
Did you do your press ups and squats etc in time with the audio or at your own pace?
In time with the audio
I'm currently in process of getting into the army I've passed my medical I'm trying to find that army fitness app but struggling to locate it 🤣 where did you find it? ☺️☺️
I looked as well, it doesn't seem to exist on Android.
@@markb5403they got rid of it I think it’s not on iphone either
How long does it take to hear back from your reserves application?
I heard back within a few days. Chase it if you haven't heard anything.
Don’t they do the SCR for entrance test?
yes!
Not that difficult
Snap! Sam Fender fans!
Hi Chelsie, what is the role of medic? Is it like nursing?
The medic is like a paramedic, there are army nurses for nursing!
@@Emily-he6uh Hi Emily, thank you so much for responding. How long is medic degree/course?
22 weeks to get your class 2!
As a reservist, I would have thought the fitness would be a piece of piss?
Same standards as regulars
@@Amelia-vk4jt Exactly my point!
@@Amelia-vk4jt I was in the TA as a young man, and the fitness was harder because had to fit it around a 50 hour working week. But still was as fit as a regular! That was sadly a long time ago! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Amelia-vk4jt my point was that she keeps saying that she is a reservist but was finding the fitness tough for regulars, which shouldn't be the case! In fact it should be easier because now she can do it full time!
@@Amelia-vk4jt but fair play to her for doing it! And good luck. Wish I had made that jump!
I know that this isn't the point of this video but damn girl; you have gorgeous legs 😍 Obviously it's the result of all your hard work.
