  1. Training for the APFT Group 2 Boudro Maples Stack

  2. Plan For Success • Analyze strengths and weaknesses • Keep written records and record your progress • As you train use: specificity, overload, and progressive resistance • Find a training partner

  3. 3 Weeks Before the Test • Do your workouts about the same time as your APFT is scheduled (if possible) • Practice at the test site at least once a week • Establish your performance goals for each one-half mile segment of the run

  4. The Week of the Test • Remember, on the test day, fatigue will hurt your score more quickly than any other factor • Allow body to recover • Use mental practice

  5. On Test Day • Eat a light meal preceding the test • Warm-up with a few push-ups about 5 minutes prior to testing • Do the same thing with the sit-ups and run • Avoid reaching momentary muscle while doing PU and SU, REST!! • Don’t waste energy on bad reps. • Pace yourself on the run. Your best time will occur if you run each quarter mile at the same price rather than starting fast then fading badly at the end.
