How to PASS the British Army Fitness Assessment | 20 meter Bleep Test

[@AndyfromSurrey]

I’m 54 & had to do 8.8 to get into UK fire service. 5 weeks before test I twisted my ankle so couldn’t do anything much to prepare. The week before my test I did a practice & managed 6.7. Was advised to test anyway as even if I didn’t get 8.8 it would be good practice for the next training intake. Anyway, on the day I did 8.8! The other candidates were all 30+ years younger than me & this spurred me on and the adrenaline on the day did the rest. I smashed beep test and then all of the other tests on the day. I wouldn’t recommend twisting your ankle so close to the test though 😂.

I'm 17 and got my assessment day tomorrow, I say I'm pretty fit in myself but not at 8.8 level, do you adrenaline and everything will give me the extra bump that I need tomorrow? And also have you got any tips going into it?

[@AndyfromSurrey]

@@JK4410-rf eat carbs tonight and just go for it. Adrenaline on the day will certainly help 💪🏼👊🏻👍🏻

[@whitebeltlyfbjj3393]

I did bleep test for fire service today got like 5....gott improve to join 8.8

[@Jamie-nw5st]

smashed mine 1 day ago, only had to go for 6.6 ended up getting 11.6 which opened up paras for me :) very unexpected

[@Jamie-nw5st]

*first time doing bleep test too*

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Nice one mate, 6.6 is easy going when your prepared and have a decent level of fitness 👍🏻

[@OscarDirlwood]

​@@Jamie-nw5st what road did you take in the end?

[@anthony_obrien4080]

Re-enlisting toward the end of next year back into the ADF RAANC and I will be 50 by that stage. Was a bit worried about that bleeping shuttle run...starting it a later level is a great idea and seems to be great way to accustom yourself to when it starts to get a little harder, thanks mate 🤙🍻

[@KyleSmithFIT]

No worries good luck 👍🏻

[@MrTcp01]

I found beep test 2x week then varying my runs. Long recovery run x1 then 2km run at fast pace

[@chriswashington2268]

Any idea when the website will be sorted out?

[@all1nerd377]

Off to litchfield tomorrow!

Nice one mate, good luck👊🏻

[@Wedge122]

Hey mate is eight on the 20m beep yes okay ? I did it a while again so I’m hoping that in a couple of weeks when I have my assessment centre I will do better

[@justinvincent5446]

Thanks I need it that

[@sniperkid389]

Hey man. I need help. I can only get up to 6 but I need to reach 8.7. And I need to reach there fast as in I have no time to spare. What can I do?

[@KyleSmithFIT]

How much time you got ?

[@cearabondonno5919]

Have you got any advice for mental barriers, I’ve got to my level for my role and above it but sometimes I just get this barrier which fails me in training

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Yea quite a few actually, I won’t go through them all now however some of the things I use to push through challenging PT sessions or tasks are; thinking of the end goal, what is It worth to you. If anything this should make you want to work hard to achieve your goal. Get in a good routine, stop making stupid excuses (we are all guilty of it) Music and pre workout gets me going when i can’t be bothered to train Working out with a friend Start a new training program, changing things up a bit can sometimes inspire/motivate you This is a great question so I will plan to do a more in-depth video.

[@larennhunt6860]

I run my 2k in about 8min 20 and need 11.6 on a beep test but heard the beep is way harder so really nervous has anyone had a go at both and could give me any advice many thanks

[@KyleSmithFIT]

If your going anything but the parachute regiment that is fine mate, no need to worry 👍🏻

need to get 11.6, only getting up to 8, i have two weeks.. is there hope

[@glockzzz9479]

How did you get on mate, I got my assessment in months time, I need 11.3 but currently on 9.5 to 10 range. Hopefully on the day I can push on

[@az_2060]

@@glockzzz9479absolutely smashed it lad, if you’re at that level at that point you’ll smash it too, it’s much easier on the day believe me - in the month you got now try do some of these for training walking lunges (spam them) only practice the bleep test every sunday - anymore and it’ll get repetitive plyometrics are great - do squats with a jump as you go up and land straight back into another squat, same with the walking lunges - lunge forward jump up and back into the same position, then step into the next and repeat forget about speed - focus on endurance - longer runs with weight over short sprints that use up all your energy (for the weighted run grab any old backpack and chuck a bunch of bottles full of water in, you can put a jumper around them to prevent them clanging against one another two more things - diet and sleep are key, eat clean and sleep long - only then worry about training and get into the habit of running absolutely everywhere shop? run going up the stairs? run going to a mates house? run do whatever works for you and keep grafting - good luck

beep test for royal lancers?

[@viveksharma-oe6ux]

What happens if you fail fitness? Can you go again? Is there a cut off date?

[@gracie-mae_arsenal]

If you do fail you will go back to your recruiter and can discuss potentially retaking the test when you are ready

[@GodsAssassin]

Mate quick question, theres alot of confusion online about measurements of 20m, and step measurements etc, whats the best way to measure it out?

[@KyleSmithFIT]

A tape measure. If you don’t have a 20 meter one use mark the start with a cone or something like a jacket. Then just use a 5 meter tape and gradually measure out 20 meters then mark the end out. Run between the two markers 👍

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Wouldn’t measure it out using steps it will be different for everyone that does it, just buy a tape measure £1 or something

[@michaelcampbell6782]

The Army recruitment website has been down for weeks mate

[@KyleSmithFIT]

I know, they are having trouble with their portal I believe. Spoke with them the other day and they said it shouldn’t be long but who knows 🤷‍♂️ Cancelling peoples assessment centres due to the problems .

[@CrackXX758]

What happens if you get a good score on the bleep test, but not the score that’s needed for your job role ?

[@theblackswordsman9951]

You get offered different roles that are under that requiremnt or can come back and try again at a later time as you are deffered. Could be a couple months later tho.

A democracy not democrat I meant.

[@austinshannon4197]

I have a question I’ve always been curious about as an American. Since the USA is the most powerful country ever and has the most powerful military in history did you ever have the honor to meet an elite, prestigious United States armed forceman since they’re the best. Also did you crap your pants when you met them because I of the high honor to witness a United States armed forceman. Were you scared? Don’t worry. Even though we have the most powerful military ever we are very professional and nice even after that American war of independence and victory forcing general Cornwallis to surrender the British army at Yorktown to American commander and former British army colonel in the French and Indian war, George Washington, the man who overthrew the British government by overtaking king George the third as the new leader not as a king but as a president, a democrat for the people and by the people instead of a born in dictatorship.
