The official score standards have not been released for the Space Force PT test yet, so she performed MAX effort on every event. We added the shuttle run to really challenge her. The shuttle run will be a form of "alternate cardio" on the Space Force fitnes test.

[@ariananovoa]

I was doing my best and gave it my all ! Thank you for the support and for watching

Thank you for having me in this video! I did the best that I could ! I hope I can inspire people to go above and beyond and seek self improvement !

The space force has the airforce PT standards. Which is one of the easiest one in the entire military. That female Marine just put the entire airforce and space force on notice. Male Marines in my days were held at 20 pill ups 100 sit upstairs in 2 min and 3 mile run with 6 minutes mile held you at a perfect score. Which is 18 min for 3 miles. I had a Colonel that did tge entire PT test in 18 min. That guys was crazy in shape

I live in Florida with 0 elevation and to run only a mile takes me like 15 minutes (yeah I'm slow lol). What Ariana did is really impressive, she really killed it out there.

You can get better! Before I left for navy bootcamp, I ran a mile and a half in 17:35. I trained for 10 weeks and cut it down to 14:20. You just have to be consistent and dedicate yourself and you will get faster :) I’m also like 4’6 so I took so many steps while running haha

Some will chuckle at this. I went through the USMC boot camp in the fall of 1983 in San Diego at sea level. My MEPS was at El Paso, TX, around 1500 ft elevation. Now add onto that, the far more severe heat and that I went through the scouting program backpacking in the mountain ranges as a teenager. I got to San Diego very relaxed and well rested. I never broke a sweat during the field week. I was in an ambulance with a IV in me as my DIs thought I was in a medical condition. They didn't know I was not yet taxed with their light packs and walk through the gentle hills. My brief rest on a litter and in the shade of an ambulance came to an abrupt end really quick. They could only shake their heads because I was not falling behind.

[@hazrduspog2868]

Thank you your service sir, I am one who would chuckle at this because I am a Marine (hollywood) who trains at altitude, While no laughing matter, I know i could knock out this Pt test with absolute ease and would like to see how the space force adapts to the results they get in future years, i can do well over 45 pushups, around 75 crunches in a minute, and i do love to run. I'll have to attempt an offical one some time 😁

[@fortunateson2]

Being in a high elevation environment is so good for your lungs. After spending a year in the mountain ranges of Afghanistan I came back running 2 -miles in 11.5 minutes and not even winded. Also in ranger school and jump school NONE of those situps would have counted!
