Default The PO exam

A while back I mentioned taking this exam but i missed the eligibility requirements because i hadnt moved back to NY in time. I was bummed out about that and was prepared to wait til the next test date which is sometime in the fall HOWEVER, there is an upcoming test for another town within the county and I AM ELIGIBLE. the written exam is May 10th. The physical aptitude will be apprximately 3 months after. So....this means i have til sometime in August to get my BUTT in shape. i need upper body strength and endurance. anybody know what i need to do to build upper body muscle QUICKLY?? i need to be able to run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes do 25 full push ups and 30 full sit ups i guess i should hire a trainer and hit the gym?? i cant do any of that lol!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Push-ups are a perfect way at building your upper body strength and within a few weeks you will be doing the 25 no problem. If you can't do full ones, then start with half ones and work up. The running test doesn't seem to bad either. You will be able to pass this no problem.

Good luck!!

Kenyar, PM BreeChick and brain storm her, I'm sure she can give you lots of pointers, heck she posted quite some in another thread of yours mentioning the physical exam.
She's been through such exams and training for both PD and FD, so she's the best.
Good luck!!!:high6:
