how to prepare for BRITISH ARMY basic training | Free Training Plan Included 

Thanks my man, much appreciated.

Thanks for the support mate, you got this shit 👊

Glad it was helpful!

That’s awesome good luck 👍🏻

@@KyleSmithFIT Was wondering if you would have any idea on the cognitive or barb test. Looking to join infantry but am I right to say the following topics are for more technical roles: 1. Categorical awareness 2. Error analysis 3. Logical reasoning 4. Number reasoning 5. Rule analysis 6. Spatial reasoning Trying to revise for it but keep getting those topics online & finding it difficult to be honest 😭😭

Thanks mate 👍🏻

Good luck mate. Stick with it, it’s all a mental battle. Stay strong mentally and you will get through it💪🏻

Awesome mate, enjoy 👍🏻👊

Great thanks mate, enjoy 💪🏻

When is your start date?

@@loogannottingham865 I’m not too sure

I got a date today 3rd October

Awesome man, well done! 👊 what are you joining as ?

@@KyleSmithFIT thanks mate. And the Guards, starting catterick on the 26th of October. Doing the AC had calmed the nerves. Cheers for the vids

@@richardheslop1466 nice one, good luck with training mate. I’m sure you will enjoy it 👊

Thanks Noel, appreciate your support. I am a fitness instructor mate, if you need any further help or advice give me a shout 👍🏻

@@KyleSmithFIT wow lovely, I definitely will sir. If I may ask is 8 minutes and 20 seconds on the 2km run a good time? I am going for the infantry

@@noelfuh8153 yeah mate that’s great an easy pass. You may need to do the bleep test which you required level 8.7

@@KyleSmithFIT I do try the bleep test but it is my less favourite, to be honest. That's is why I am happy in some way that commonwealth recruitment has been on hold, that means the 2km run will be back by then

Late comment but beep test is here to stay it looks like

Just follow the packet list jasmine, don’t take loads of cloths etc there is no point as soon as you get there they put everyone in the same Jacksuit and make you all the same. Make sure you have the essentials like a watch, wash Kit, and stationary stuff because it costs a fortune on camp. Apparent from that you don’t need anything else, you can find the rest of the stuff on camp if you need it.

@@KyleSmithFIT thank you :)

Awesome mate 👊

Nice one mate, get the grind going 👊

Keep seeing you in comments on RU-vid lol. How u feeling for basic? u still 25th of July same as me?

@@TomTheGamer913 yeah mate can't wait hah what about you

@@davidpae9063 I’m excited I’m just shit at running long distances. I’m fine with the 2k but any more 😂

@@TomTheGamer913 you'll he fine mate, I'm the same sort off but they will build us up, as long as you put effort it it'll all be fine

ermm you may do one when you get there, either that or a 2km run. Do worry if you do not pass there is just to get a start point for you. You normally always do one before you leave training as well.

No mate, that is good going. You are in a good position to start training. Well done mate, hope everything goes well for you

I think it may be all infantry regiments

Awesome mate 👍🏻

Thanks mate, appreciate it 👊 My best bleep test is 13.8, haven’t done it in a while now. My best 2km run score is 6m 57s

How do you calculate a beep test?

@@spencer4248 oh, an app called BT Lite

You will be fine mate it is just to make sure you are fit to carry out training… and you have not picked up and injury between AC and starting.

@@KyleSmithFITthank mate 1 week then i go of to basic is the medical like the ac or is it different cus i know i will have a dental and vacation and you really do give good advice i am now smashing my run times 2km 8.09 and 5km 21.56 seconds

@@alexmason2609 it will be very similar, nothing to worry about mate. Just keep the fitness going and it will be all good 👍🏻

@@KyleSmithFIT sir my name is hafeez and my dream is to join British army and now I am working in Pakistan as a interpreter with British army and I live in Pakistan how can I come to the ul and join plz tell me sir

It all depends on your job role, and how many slots there is. The only real way to find out Is to ask your recruiter, they will have the available slots and dates. If you want to get in as quick as possible just mention it to them see what they can do.

@Braxtan Benjmain awesome mate well done 👍🏻

@Braxtan Benjmain no problem

Yes you can just ring your recruiter and tell him your not ready, you would like to push it back.

@@KyleSmithFIT thanks you.👍

For in the room on a night yes, not for PT.

I would not worry at all, you are way above the average. Your cardio will be fine 👍🏻

@@KyleSmithFIT is there a weight lifting thing needed? (apart from the 50kg) because im sure its gotta be heavier than that

@@westay4924 I really would not worry about things like this mate, in training I did not do any weights at all. I think it has changed slightly now so, you may do some as part of a PT session but it’s not something you can fail.

@@KyleSmithFIT alrighty thanks!

You cannot join from a commonwealth country at the moment unless you have citizenship in the UK. This is what the army website says.

Awesome mate good luck, what are you joining ?

@@KyleSmithFIT thanks. RLC driver

@@TomTheGamer913 nice one enjoy mate 👍🏻

Go for long runs, low heart rate and build endurance/aerobic base. You should be able to be able to hold a cover station whilst running that when you are running at the right pace, do this for 3,4,5 miles and try to continue to improve the distance if you can.

@@KyleSmithFIT I’m dead after like 300m though

@@kuro_flame9674 ok, run 300m then walk 300m continue that for 2 miles. Next time try to run 300 and walk 150. Run 750 walk 100 and continue with that approach mate just improve where you can, if you cant do it just continue on the same distance till you can.

So, stretching or trying to improve flexibility which helps prevent injuries and improve performance.

@@KyleSmithFIT ah ty

@@kuro_flame9674 no worries 👊🏻

I don’t think so

Done mate, sorry for the late reply. Completely forgot to send it.

Thanks

@@montanaguy8781 just be aware that the junior times on the bottom are changed now. Juniors follow the same entry as adults 👍🏻

Don’t worry, just get back on it now. You can only do what you can do, don’t let it get you down 👍
