What are the physical fitness standards to be a Marine?

dfreeman321 asked:


I’m interested in doing personal fitness. I figure I’d set my bar at the best of the best. I’ve looked at the Marine recruitment site and they offer not even a hint of what sort of fitness you’d need to be in.

Thanks for commenting.
By all means, share whatever fitness standards you know. Anything is better than not knowing anything.

    The question you have bodybuilder strength builder runner or athlete as marines they minimally run miles with gear do you should ask is most important at this point.
    The question you want physically is what do 1020 pulls and calisthenics not really any thing special so gearing your fitness the question you want body mass or cardio fitness the question you have bodybuilder strength builder runner or.

    In order to actually be accepted into the marines, you have to AT LEAST meet these physical strength tests (note, this is the lowest number, you have to have at least this, hopefully better though!)

    8 pull-ups, 40 crunches, run 3 miles within 28 minutes. thats worth 40 points. 100 points would be 20 pull-ups, 100 sit-ups, and run the 3-miles within 18 minutes.
