Suicidal Squirrel Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hey yall. Im a 24 year old geek who has never been one for being fit. Growing up as a skinny gaming geek thats never been really active. Also suffering from a deviated septum has kept me pretty inactive. Which works against me since im working on being a police officer. You see my problem. Im 6ft something and 220 pounds and been trying to get into a workout schedule and stick to it. If any one can point me out in the right direction with diet and work outs i would be grateful. Not enough to pay you, but give ya a thank you.Here are the requirements for the police thing. 26 push ups in a minute. I can do bout 16 before my arms give out, i have trouble with upper body. 36 Sit up in a minute. I can do that at about 41 in a minute. And a mile and a half in 13 minutes. I cant do that...at all....makes me cry....i need a hug.My goals are different i hope to do 50 push ups with out rest same with sit up. As for the running I would love to do it in 10 minutes. So mighty nerds please advise me with your great fitness wisdom. Two words i though would never be in the same sentence. Link to comment
CyningaDena Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Welcome to the NF boards! How long do you have before your fitness test?I'm seeing a lot of people here who are starting off their running with a Couch to 5K program that's free on the interwebs. Even though your goal is shorter than 5K, it's a good start for building up your distance stamina.
