This video is so helpful. I’ve been working on loosing weight to go talk to a recruiter about joining the Air Force. Started out at 255 now I’m down to 226. I’m definitely going to add these to my work outs.

[@dashjatee4109]

You got it

[@benbarnes89]

LOL you never realize how heavy air is until you do pyramid pushups!

[@pringlechip01]

For those of you shipping out soon, everything has changed because of covid-19. As of right now, they no longer allow partners for sit-ups. They also changed up the pt test because of this. I'm not sure if they're still waiving the test completely but that was what they were doing for the flights graduating after me.

[@lupeflores7774]

Soooo you’re saying I should enlist now ? Lol

[@snehalakshmin989]

What changed with the pt test?

[@annieoctavius352]

Lupe Flores lol I leave next week and the pt test do count, beast week is back and so is the EOC

[@annieoctavius352]

Sneha Lakshmin the PT test is the same except you use a mental bar for sit-ups instead of someone holding ur feet. U still have to pass ur pt test to graduate

[@Butterflywarrior214]

I’m trying to ship out by December! Hopefully things get better by then

[@blueskygal255]

this should be done in pt classes in grammer and h.s. as a nation we are woefully out of shape. in case of war on our soil we are weak.

[@novelvegancrystala8602]

Thank you for demonstrating the warm-ups and exercise, however it would have been helpful if you noticed the reps. I love and appreciate all your videos and pray you and your family are well. ❤

[@dianavillalobos4903]

This is awesome I relate In you so much I’ve wanted to join the military fresh out of high school but so many things happened that I didn’t get to go. I am 24 now and didn’t think of it was just the right time to start and talked to a recruiter and as of now schedule to go to MEPS in July

[@JC-hi6oc]

Hey! I ship out next week the 14th, when are you shipping out?

[@187rocketman]

I’m happy to hear you joined the USAF . I loved the AF back when I was in hope you excel at what you do and thank you for your service.

[@JM-om1ry]

sis your glowing ! We love to see it ✨

[@tonykeller9000]

Keep up the great videos Brittany thank you. For serving America. Trying to talk my son into The Air Force to help cover his college debt.

[@AirmanVision]

Thank you!! -M

[@nicolcontreras4553]

It had always been my dream to join the Air Force and now I'm diabetic...

[@taitendalyrhodes878]

I ship out on Tuesday 😬 I've been working out pretty much daily since December but this was very informative! Thank you!

[@kev2226]

The first exercise is the arm rotation!! Position of exercise readup! Begin! 🤣

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

Hahahahaha

[@icetray2727]

Good luck..do you have a job picked out yet?

[@icetray2727]

@Eric Hollopeter yeah it’s command post

[@ehollopeter]

[@JimboAlexander]

Good luck 👍🏾

[@TangoGulf]

Good luck bro

[@coreymoffett9645]

Omg thank you so much, I’m considering joining the Air Force. I have no clue how to work out in prep for pt, and this helps a lot. You didn’t tell them that doing clap pushups while drunk is a requirement.... 😂

[@chriswess4799]

Thank you! Your video helped me a lot! I'm planning to enlist in the Air Force this fall and I knew the required excercises but on the stretches or warm ups/cool down. These tips will help me to prepare.

[@THEeeCOBRACOMMANDER]

I ship May 26th, hopefully 🇺🇸

[@THEeeCOBRACOMMANDER]

Wow! Thanks for the quick response! Take care

[@timothydavidlandry]

I’m shipping out April 21st!

Thank you for all your help Brittany you've helped me a lot through them. : )

[@tylershelton7112]

Hey Brittney I just wanted to say thank you for your service and say I'm in the middle of BMT right now but in quarantine with the rest of my flight so theres that...but I just wanted to say thanks for the video really helpful thank you

[@mikylabrix10]

Do you recommend bringing spandex to wear for PT or even under your uniform?

[@Downtime_videos]

You look amazing ❤️

[@blueskygal255]

PT is one of the big reasons i wish i joined when i had the chance.

[@kayleighbigness6805]

Thanks for posting this video it was very informative. Two questions for you 1) Does someone hold your feet during your PT exam during sit ups? 2) Can you place your hands under your tailbone during ab exercises for support?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

Yes and yes!

[@rosyfoxtrot]

What do you do for the rest of the day after pt

[@priscillaestrada2448]

Love this video

[@robinr7976]

Do you have to do PT on a daily/weekly basis with your unit in the operational Air Force? Or is it less regular, or simply are you expected to stay in shape between your annual PT test?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

It depends on the flight/squadron. Normally, my flight has PT once a week and squadron PT is once a week.

[@marristella4926]

I have some questions! I’m planing on joining the Air Force together with my husband. Anyone know if we can go to BMT together? I am terrible at running and can’t even do one full sit up, do you think the boot camp can fix that or is definitely necessary for me to start ASAP training? Thank you guys!

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

It may be difficult trying to enlist right now during COVID, and may be more difficult trying to get the same ship date, but your recruiter will have the most updated information about this! I think it is definitely necessary to start training ASAP. If you go to BMT completely out of shape you are risking being held longer for not meeting standards and PT is going to be that much harder.

[@MM-vo5xn]

Thanks Brittany, great video! How strict are they on how you do your push ups? Can you do them on your knees and how far down towards the ground do you have to go? Keep the vids coming :)

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

Hi! For your test, no, you can’t do them on your knees. Your elbows need to break 90 degrees.

[@opalsonora]

I ship out end of May so thank you for the info :)

[@THEeeCOBRACOMMANDER]

Opal Ward same here! May 26th!

[@kelsey24k27]

Thanks for this, Brittany!

[@h20lander31]

FYI if your going through basic durning this pandemic your PT test doesn’t count but you still take it.

[@chenoazarecki]

pcp_krazy What do you mean by that?

[@sharlynherrera6074]

Explain ? I actually leave next week so I’m curious

[@VirginiaEncarnacion]

I was supposed to leave in 11 days but got pushed back an additional week. What do you mean?

[@samanthamurphy3728]

They’re just not testing for PT due to the 6 foot distance for the virus, BEAST may still happen though, some flights have and others haven’t

[@samanthamurphy3728]

You will still do it but it won’t be tested and someone in a BMT group had also said that they aren’t doing sit-ups right now due to the physical contact and are substituting it with planks I believe

[@JimboAlexander]

What was the most difficult/painful thing you went through in basic? And very nice video

[@sammy.1453]

How are the showers? Is there hot water? Is it timed?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

This will be a different experience based on if you’re in the newer dorms (Disneyland) or older dorms (Alcatraz). I was in the newer dorms and we had plenty of shower heads and hot water. That’s not really the case at Alcatraz. Lol Yes you have a certain amount of time.

[@laylatorres4840]

How many reps/sets of each exercise would you do ? I’m thinking about joining but before anything I want to be physically ready so I want to do the workouts at home so by the time BMT comes I’ll be more use to it

[@ashleymoore9709]

I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@jona1647]

what’s you’re mos ? i really want to join the air force i’m 18 but i don’t know what mos i would like to get into

[@Kori24Smoo]

[@unbanjewel1841]

What would you say is a good age to join the air force?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

18-39

[@gabbyjensen4009]

Do you only do 1 hour a day or is it multiple times a day?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

We had PT once per day

[@d.7819]

Thanks for sharing

[@ImWagon]

do you have to do pullups? I remember seeing people do pullups in a bmt video, but I never hear it mentioned when people talk about pt

[@MakoTSB]

ImWagon you do them on strength days, but it’s not required on pt tests. Graduated April 9th. If you have any questions you can ask on my IG marcoavalos_212 my afsc is munition systems in case any of y’all want to know about it

[@ImWagon]

@@MakoTSB is there a certain number you have to do on the strength days?

[@MakoTSB]

ImWagon no, y’all are just gonna sing jodies while doing them, first people do as much as they can. Next person in line and etc. you do that 3x. I’ve seen people only do 1 so no worries lol. Oh well if your going to bmt soon, your not going to do them since the whole 6ft distance and they don’t want y’all touching the same bars

[@ubernowhere3863]

Marco Avalos I leave in two weeks. Is it pretty weird with social distancing? My buddy said they can’t get in your face to yell at you... that seems kinda weird.

[@esco7500]

@@ubernowhere3863 how was it ?

[@samiyahyasmine4493]

for the 26 minute run, can we at least take a quick stop get breathe? that's a long time to be running and I get tired fast

you can! you may or may not get yelled at but you can lol

[@melariemantanona2316]

What do the sprints look like? Like how far are they?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

As far as you can sprint on the track until they tell you to walk again!

[@lydiabrooks3406]

I am not in basic I was at army &navy reception

[@skylrshepherd9847]

Hi Brittany, I'm joining the USAF and one thing I worry about is stretching during BMT. I'm a contortionist and extremely flexible and if I don't have a proper stretch at least once a day while doing the physical training, I run the risk of injury. Would I have a chance for a ten minute or so stretch once a day?

[@annieoctavius352]

I’m sure you will have time to do it in your dorm.

[@CarlaJavellana]

what if you choose to join AF and you couldn't do push up? so what's gonna happen?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

You have to be able to do at least 18 to get through BMT.

[@CarlaJavellana]

@@Brittanylynnlewis yes I'm turning 18 this year but i want to finish my highschool first. i am afraid to fail BMT bc i couldn't do push ups.

[@DearlyTagalog]

Hi Britt, I have a question. Hope u notice this. 1. During Final PT, is some gonna hold ur feet for the set ups? 2. And what happen if during the final PT, u stop in the middle of your 1.5mile run?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

Hey!! Yes someone held our feet, and during your final test you will have been running so much by then you won’t feel the need to stop! But if you do they will just yell at you to go faster and you better still make the time! Lol

[@DearlyTagalog]

Thank you so much taking time with me. I really appreciate it. Im so worried cause I can’t do setUps alone. I just pass my asvab test. No shipping date yet tho due to covid19.

[@annieoctavius352]

Dearly Tagalog hey I just read your comment. I’m shipping next week (June 16) for basic and I am worried about my run time too. When I graduate. I will try to come back to this comment to give u tips. (Plz remind me)

[@atasiaq7805]

Annie W hey girl how was it?

[@annieoctavius352]

Atasiaq Heyy. It was not bad at all! I made so much friends and was dorm chief. I hated run days but it got me used to running. U do not get (smoked/tooled) that often. MTIs are tough but ull like them after all this is over!

[@Ldizzil5000]

I wanna join im 29

[@amrynlee]

Yes so helpful!

[@sammy.1453]

Do you have any shower tips ? Lol idk if that’s a weird question. 😓

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

-get in as fast as you can to have enough time (helps to have your security drawer organized) -2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner every day except Sunday when you have more time -don’t wash your hair every day unless you feel like you really need to -braid your hair or have someone else do it, leave it in for a few days, so in the shower you just wash face and body

[@libbyobrien6757]

Which belt did you have on running

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

Red LOL and then yellow

[@SkrimpPool]

Second to none, buddy

[@GR7M_]

Is MEN pt different than Women pt?

[@Brittanylynnlewis]

No, it’s the same

[@TV-zx5ek]

I’m really nervous, I have Meps Sept 9 and I can’t do one push up 😢 I’ve been going to the gym and I’m getting closer but I still can’t fully do push ups

[@iguana9993]

I talk with my recruiter on the 8th of September about scheduling and strong but I can't either and I don't know how to help it

[@oris5438]

Dont worry about doing any push-ups at meps, its mainly taking the asvab and any other specialty test you chose to take. The only "exercise" you'll be doing is the x factor test, where you lift a minimum of 50 lbs over your head, and its a lot easier than you think. And once you're past meps, you'll be place in the DEP where you'll have plenty of time to prepare yourself for bmt.

[@michael-cd7zb]
