How to Pass the Beep Test - Tara Fitness.

The beep test (bleep test) isn't as hard as it seems when you prepare well. It's not just about being physically fit either; mental preparation for the beep test can be just as important as being physically fit. Join Personal Trainer Tara Fitness as she describes her top 3 tips for passing the beep test.

I was running in loops before watching this video and also breathing in via mouth. Watching this video added extra 2 levels to my practice. Thank you.

[@Aravindarts]

Thank you Tara. Having a digital watch and timing those 7 minutes of running is an amazing idea. As you said every level will look like it is taking hours to complete while we are running. As psychology plays important role here. It is a great idea to tell our brain it is just 7 minutes and we can do it. Thank you again for your video.

My god the turning one is helpful as hell. I've practiced the bleep test for the past 3 or 4 weeks now and need 8.8 for the fire service. I've been getting to about 8.9/9.0. For 95% of my training, I've been doing the loop at the end of each shuttle. I'm gonna do it again tomorrow but only stepping on the line with one foot and see how that helps.

Thank you so much. I used to do 5.5 or 6 in high school and after that I had a hard time knowing how to have a good technique to stop and go on the line. I will try the breathing through the nose.

I need to get to level 7 for Calgary Police Department. I tried it today using a shuttle beep sound file sent by recruitment. I found my self winded at stage 4-4.5. I honestly thought this would be a breeze. I am 200 lbs 6'2". quite lean. But crap that was hard. Plus on top of this you have to do the obstacle (pursuit restraint circuit) 10 minutes prior :0. I have my test coming up in 6 days and now I'm very concerned. IS there a way I can get to 7 if I train every day? or do you recommend I call my recruiter and delay the test. And if so, by how much? PS normally my cardio is quite good but due to COVID, I ended up doing minimal cardio and heavier weight training. I figured this would be optimal as I don't want to be a skinny police officer. I think I made a mistake. What do you think?

[@oldman0]

[@ironchung30]

I’ve practiced this test many times. Good tips except one thing…and this is just my opinion based on experience. You talk about turning and avoiding extra distance. The most taxing part about this test is the constant stopping. You can hit the line and turn perfectly but it doesn’t address the stopping fatigue. The constant stopping fatigues the hell out of the quads and deplete oxygen fast. With that said, here’s my tip.: the key is continuing momentum, and here’s what I do that really helps. One you hit the line do a small hop while turning. I know it sounds weird but this counters momentum stoppage enough to where it’ll alleviate some fatigue on the legs. Again, it’s not extra distance that’s the problem. It’s the stop and go momentum blockage.

[@akuma4u]

When you said breathe in thru mouth at the end of each level do you mean at the end of each line or each stage like once you reach level 1 you take a deep breath in and out thru mouth then again on level 2 then 3 etc or is it every time your foot touches the line on each side you take a deep breath in and our thru mouth?
