25.01.2022 [BLOG] HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE FITNESS BEEP TEST RESULTS

23.01.2022 PUSH-UPS! When training for Pushups, there are several common faults that will kill your ability to do a proper pushup. Do you have shitty posture? If you answered yes, then you need to work on reversing this before you can move forward.... Watch this video to learn about the common faults, how to correct them, how to train if you can't do 1 pushup yet and how to use the regression methods! https://youtu.be/uCDOCemULfU

23.01.2022 Dont get too focused on your breathing. Find a breathing pattern that works for you. If you get fixated on your breathing then you create an anxiety around feeling short of breath. This then causes panic. Yes, youre going to be puffed, its exercise. Accept that youll be puffed and just keep pushing through. Breathing is not a new concept. Youve been doing it since you were born.

23.01.2022 When training for the Military and Police, its not just about doing the things you like and enjoy. You have to work hard at the things you dont enjoy as well. You cant rock up to work on day and say actually... I dont like doing that so Ill just sit in the office today. It doesnt work like that. Be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Dont avoid things just because they arent your cup of tea. Prepare your mind to cope with doing stuff you dont love so that when it comes down to it... you can do anything you are required to do in your chosen service. Remember- If nothing changes, then nothing changes. #trainhard #fighteasy #comfortzones

22.01.2022 What advice would you give to a new applicant who had JUST submitted their application ? #defenceforcefitness#adffitness #adfrecruitfitness#australiandefenceforce... #defencejobsaustralia#defenceforcerecruiting #ausarmy#ausairforce #ausnavy#autralianarmyreserves #defencejobsaustralia #qps #policeacademy #AFP See more

22.01.2022 Keep your turns on the beep test efficient. Touch, Turn, Go. Lay off the interpretive dance style turns and jumping across the line. It wastes energy and time that youll need in those higher levels. Conserve energy during your turns.

20.01.2022 Try doing exercise without music. You wont ever have your music in your headphones when youre at basic training. Work on trying to motivate yourself without it!

19.01.2022 The PFA is the least fit youll ever want to be. Make sure you continue training all the way up to enlistment. You want to train yourself for the MILITARY. Not just for the PFA.

18.01.2022 What an amazing day for TBG! 4 enlistments!!!!! So stoked for this badass group of people and cant wait to see them all smashing their new careers! Cant send them off without a TBG salute, can we!? #tbg #tbgsalute #enlistment #adf #military

17.01.2022 Cant tell if hating life or having heaps of fun... thoughts? #fun #lovehate #adf #army #Navy #RAAF #adffitness

17.01.2022 Can't even do 1 push-up? Don't stress. Most people can't do any pushups when they start. If you've never really done them before then how can you be expected to be an expert at it? The best place to start is with pushup regression exercises. Don't be afraid of regressions and definitely don't be ashamed of them. It's the most effective way to train until you're ready to do them on the ground.... You can practice these at home. Use any furniture around your house to elevate your body. Keep the technique the same as if you were to do them on the ground. Remember all the common faults? Identify where you might be going wrong and fix each fault as you practice! https://youtu.be/VQjIxWbH3Hs

12.01.2022 Do you have a watch? If you're using your phone to time your intervals and rest time then it's likely you're very distracted. When training, you want to remain focussed on the task at hand and also make sure you're getting enough rest. If you end up down a tik tok vortex then you'll likely overshoot your rest and end up messing with the training formula. Get yourself a watch. At The Barracks Store we sell G Shock watches. We have a huge range of Baby G, Low, Mid and High rang...e G Shocks available. Have a cruise around the site and bag yourself a rad watch to ensure you're getting the most out of your running training.

08.01.2022 Teamwork. Its about sharing the workload. Encourage each others strengths to shine through and also working hard to fill in for other peoples deficiencies. Working together in a cohesive group doesnt mean that you all have to be friends. It means that you all have to be comfortable with getting in there and picking up the slack when someone is struggling with something. Its about supporting each other to give it a crack and to give it your best. Its about working ...your ass off so that youre not the one dragging your ass and letting the team down. Its about communicating well with each other so that you can best provide for your team. If all of that works... then youll find that you all just get in and have a good time with one another. Look out for your team. You never know who youll serve alongside one day. #teamwork #jerrycarry #team #support #supportiveteam #communication #friendship See more
