I am attempting to max my PT test for promotion points by scoring a 300 and above. How did you increase your pushups, sit-ups and 2mile run time? I’d like to know others workout programs and how they went about maxing their pt score. Right now I am at a 260 and improving. I am in the 25 age bracket. Some advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The link below will take you to a 15 Day workout plan and some other useful tips that are tried and true for APFT improvement. I used this with my Platoon and it is effective... We held an average 279 APFT score.

This 15 day plan was written for a military member who had two weeks to pass his fitness test of 1.5 mile run, pushups, and situps. It is not designed for those members who have not exercised in months, but for those who just need an extra push to surpass the minimums.

I second this program. Have been using it for a few years and it never disappoints.

I took the PT test in Future Soldier Training and maxed everything except the Pushups, I got you. My favorite workout to improve overall fitness is, "The Spartan Run".
It consists of a 3-4 mile run, depending on your fitness level, and many pushups, sit-ups, and squats.
Warmup by jogging lightly for 10-15 minutes and do 30 jumping jacks.
Run 1st mile at race pace.
Do 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats.
Run 2nd mile at race pace.
Do 75 pushups, 75 sit-ups, and 75 squats.
Run 3rd mile at race pace.
Do 50 pushups, 50 sit-ups, and 50 squats.
If you would like to be a true spartan, go for the 4th mile.
Run 4th mile at race pace.
Do 25 pushups, 25 sit-ups, and 25 squats.
Cool down by lightly jogging for 10-20 minutes and stretch thoroughly.
Make sure you hydrate before doing this workout, you'll need the water in your system.
