Flora Beverley’s video FITNESS MODELS TRY US MILITARY FITNESS TEST | NO TRAINING! Here’s what you need to test yourself on the routine. Watch the full video for context.

Key points:

  • Three timed events: 2-min push-ups (17 minimum), 2-min sit-ups (50 minimum), and a 2-mile run (under 19:36).
  • Prep matters. Budget 10 to 20 min for warm-up and recovery between events. The format pairs intense effort with rest, similar to high-intensity training. See Mastering Interval Training: Science-Backed Workouts and How a Smart App Can Personalize Them.
  • A partner helps with motivation. While one person runs, the other works through push-ups and sit-ups.
  • For the run: around 8 laps on a 400 m track for 2 miles. Steady 9 to 10 min per mile keeps you under the 20-minute cutoff.
