Tips for the physical fitness test:

• The best way to train is to start with exercises that increase your cardiovascular fitness.
• • Steady running (warm up 5 mins, followed by 15-20 mins of running at a steady pace, then a cooldown).
  • Interval training (warm up 5 mins, 30 secs hard sprint + 30 secs walking x 10, cool down). Interval training simulates what your body will go through in the test.
• Don’t start training the week before the test! To make sure you’ve got the endurance needed, we’d recommend training up to six weeks before the test. 
• If you’ve not exercised regularly in the past, always seek medical advice before starting a fitness training regime. Then remember to start slowly and build up the length and intensity of your training sessions.
• Always warm up and stretch before exercising. And don’t forget to cool down properly.
• Build in some toning and strengthening exercises to the end of your runs too, like some press-ups and crunches. They’ll help increase your overall fitness.
• Don't forget to keep your fluid levels up as you train.
