UPDATE: I just took on the US Marines Fitness Test since you all easily hit 15,000 likes! And I tried to get a perfect score 'cause we like a challenge! 🙏 Here it is: th-cam.com/video/0GMr8xV4IY4/w-d-xo.html
42 is the bare minimum for guys and considered terrible. Anything less than 60 gets you made fun of in the Army, though I will say her form was perfect
@@RickSanchez167 Women are about 50% weaker than men (upper body strength), so her doing 42 is the equivalent of a man doing 84. Of course, I'm not saying the standards should be changed, if you want to join the military you have to meet the physical demands of the job, just pointing out how much harder it is for women.
Ahh, it helps that she is in great shape, unfortunately, the Army is now facing problems. "The United States Army is reportedly considering doing away with its new “gender-neutral physical test” after test results showed that the majority of women failed while approximately 90 percent of men passed. Officials are reportedly considering having different evaluation categories for men and women due to the physiological differences between the two. “Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test [ACFT], which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions,” The Telegraph reported. “An early Pentagon study showed that women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65 percent, while only 10 percent of men did.” March 2021
@@mboiko I noticed when I went to my son's graduation from basic training that shorter women in excellent condition really performed quite well on the PT test, so there does seem to be some advantage to certain body types with the current test. My concern with altering the fitness test is that any alteration should be done to make the test a better predicter of performance in the current role of the typical soldier. From what I can see of the deployment of troops to the Middle East, the greatest combat demand is the carrying of gear in a backpack or duffle. Soldiers are carrying in excess of 80lbs. of gear for long periods of time if I understand correctly. This seems like a prescription for disaster to the average male back and an unmanageable task for the majority of women.
@@kenicia-l1b Her push-ups were counted fair. And her situps were spot on. You're lost. Being in the Army, and having graded many of Army APFT's it's quite clear you don't really know...
@@027betz Are you doing your calculations right? Over half the people on my xc team can do that, Natacha still did great considering she must’ve been tired from the push-ups and sit-ups. Also you said American women, Natacha is British isn’t she though?
It would be a dream if you could tell him "Thank you for your service" for me. You don't have to, I'm just so thankful for how soldiers put their lives on the line for us, and wanted to thank him.
Umm... No. I'm former army and her pushups were all bad your chest is supposed to touch the ground. When they tested me someone had to put their hand down under me to make sure I touched. 42 was pass for men in her age category, 92 was max. 52/102 was for situps. Her pushups were all fail for any unit I was in. Her situps were all good though.
@@InTheWrongTimeline Think about it this way, if her form was corrected she still would be able to do a lot of them and possibly pass, its just maybe a few less.
@@grant.keegan I agree. She would have passed easily, but I wouldn't say it was good for men. My wife can do pushups easily as long as she doesn't go all the way down. I gave credit where credit was due, her situps were good.
Jaimee Rudick Dude you’re getting too worked up about this, it’s not like she’s actually testing for the army. Horselover is saying that it’s not a big deal that she didn’t get perfect by a bit, but you just flipped out and started ranting about how 4 away is not perfect. And “close” is a relative term, so I guess if you really want it “mathematically”, then the ratio of 4 to 300 isn’t relevant in the scheme of things.
Mind you she is also doing this mid day. Most of our PT tests are done at the break of dawn as to reduce the most amount of stress on the body. At least that's how the Army does it. So I feel like she would have actually maxed her PT test easily if she was able to do it before sunrise.
I love how much effort you put into being honest with your rep counts. After being in the US Army for 5 years, I've seen so many people just BS their form and hope their grader would be easy on them.
Hey my friends! ♥️ This one’s just a bit of fun ‘cause I’m always asked to take on some more fitness challenges so I thought I’d see how my regular training holds up against the US Army’s Physical Fitness Test 💪 Let me know if you enjoyed it and hit that 👍 if you want me to take on the US Marine Corps PFT, or maybe even the new Army Combat Fitness Test when they switch over orrrr any other tests you have in mind! Love ya, big hugs 🤗
you've inspired me to change my life. in the pursuit of losing weight, i was starting to develop an eating disorder. thanks to you i gained a new attitude towards food and without even trying or restricting, i have managed to start eating super nutritious and healthy foods. i have also developed a workout routine and i exercise daily, i have been sticking to that for two months now and am already seeing results! thank you natacha!!
Natacha Océane I have to get those 42 push ups in 2 minutes to enter rescue swimmer school, how can I train for that? Actually can get 30 with difficulty
this was awesome.. I've been in the Army for 22yr and her expression at the ends was priceless...Good job that is definitely an accomplishment. I love the music
@@katielittlejohns7718 What is the equipment that it requires? I only have access to a barbell/squat rack, a bench, dumbbells, kettlebells, long and short resistance bands, a treadmill, and ankle weights. I don't have access to a pull up bar, slam balls, medicine balls, an abductor machine, or a cable machine (though I could probably replicate all the moves with the long resistance bands). Do you still think it would be worth getting?
You’re awesome! I’m in the US Army and every time the APFT rolls around I jump on TH-cam for some inspiration, but there’s never a quality TH-cam vid about it, especially for female Soldiers. So I appreciated this so much, you did amazing and to the Army standard at that. Kudos 👍🏻 😊 Definitely subscribing!
What I think was the most impressing, was how you pushed yourself through all of it. If I would've managed to reach the bare minimum I would've thought "Ok, time to go slower." but even when you reached the perfect score, you pushed yourself so much and this was so good to see. I mean, there is a reason why I'm looking like a little potatoe and you're looking like you. Really gave me motivation to go to the gym.
This girl is absolutely adorable! The run was always my weakness. I used to max my push ups and sit ups but never got a P.T. badge because my run time was not so great. a couple of time I barely passed the run, I'm just not a runner.
As an Army vet I have to say I’m impressed and appreciate not only the research but the attention to proper technique. Great Job! Now imagine having a full days work in uniform after that 😂🤣 We also do that test every six months. 👍👍
Guy in the us army here. First off great job, some tips tho. On sit ups technically 1 rep is up and down not just up. Second you seem to be using energy to lower yourself on sit-ups instead of just falling. As you fall throw your elbows out till they touch the ground but while keeping your fingers interlocked. Personally I slap my elbows down hard and after my shoulders are bruised from falling down rather than lowering myself. Also very good job on holding yourself to getting proper form and not counting the bad ones. A+ 👍
You make me want to be fit for the functional strength aspect. Watching how your body preforms is incredible. I workout and ski/surf when I get the chance but imagine what those sports would be like if I had your athletic ability. 😲
@NonyaBusiness! lol thanks for your comment, and for proving my point! I workout everyday and im a boxer. So trust me i am fit enough pal Supportive people usually attract supportive people.
Such an inspiration. I have seriously caught the fitness bug over the last couple of years. Love love love the workouts you post on IG and your videos are so relaxed and friendly xx Good job all round
@@emiliativernomal1232 There is no official requirements yet, they are still figuring that out. But the score you will need will be based off your MOS, so basically more active soldiers like infantry will have higher requirements than someone usually behind a desk. With the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), males and females no longer have separate point systems, which will be interesting. The dead lift, standing power throw, hand release push up, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck, and two mile run will be the new events. Just search for more on google if you are curious, I would love to see how Natacha would do with all of these events!
CourtnayGal there are official requirements already set in place. I’m in the US Army. The only thing is that the official date for the ACFT will be conducted in OCT 2020. In the meantime there will soon be unofficial recorded AFCT tracking as to see where the stance is for US Soldiers.
CourtnayGal By MOS is misleading because even if you are a POG but you are in say a combat arms unit you will be required to hit the standard for the combat soldiers. (All of this is according to my 1st SGT)
@@iT3K not true. As a military paralegal, required to know the regulations so as to punish those that break the rules. It is indeed by MOS. Your 1SG will not have any legal recourse if you are a desk jockey and cant pass the infantry version.
I have graded multiple PT test didn’t see anything wrong with your sit ups they were spot on. Your push ups were good to you can get more by moving you hands out and using your chest muscles then moving your hands back together to reuse your arms well done 👍
I legitimately want to try this test out but I think my body parts would collapse and be scattered all over the field in different areas--seriously, my legs would be in the track, my arms near the fence, and my head in the grass XD
You did well. You would have passed the test for an 18-21 year old man. Here are what your scores would have been if you were a guy. PU - 60 pts SU - 100 pts (you crushed those) Run - 68 pts. Total - 228 pts The max for that age group man is; PU - 71 SU - 78 Run - 13:00
I'm on track to become a U.S. Army Nurse Officer, and watching you try this test made me so incredibly happy! :) You have no idea how much of a role model and inspiration you have been to me this past year!!
As someone who's failed the Army Physical Fitness Test many times before, worked myself to death to pass it, and who is now watching you go through with so much determination, honesty, and willpower, it's just... It's defeating to see all of these new recruits fail their way out of a good career *with* practice. You did so good without it, it puts me to shame. Thank you for your hard work. Keep it up. You are an inspiration.
Great job on the PT test, as a former Drill Sergeant, we taught our basic training soldiers how to do the exercises and then gave them a diagnostic (non-graded) test to evaluate the fitness levels, then we tailored the program for the individuals with strength and conditioning exercises to help them with the actual push-up, sit-up and two mile runs. Keep up the good work.
@@totallyrandom1126 there are foreigners in the US military. You have to renounce your citizenship if you work inside a base outside of the US and be a US citizen, though.
I'd really love to see a video on how you get access to all these places! Even access to gyms when you're on holiday and how you plan your workout schedule when you're in a different country. Maybe not a whole video, but just it would be good to hear!
I always knew you would smash it Natacha!!! And you did!!! 💪😁 also I think LEAN would be a good name for CUT 2.0! Shred, Tone and Sculpt are similar but Lean is definitely more Natacha-esque 😉
The only thing that every person misses when they attempt this is that the sit ups counts when you are in the down position. Not when your chest touch your legs.
Natacha, you just inspired me to do some impromptu exercises in my dorm room while I wait for my next class. I knew you’d crush the test and hope you do the Marine Corp one! Hopefully I can try one of your programs this summer!
Awesome video! I remember in my BCT there was a Puerto Rican in my platoon, at the time he was 25 (I believe), and he would knock out over 100-110 push ups, and 120-130 sit ups and ran a 10-11 minute two mile run during APFT's. The guy was a freak of nature, doing two-finger push ups with one hand in the barracks during down time. He was a MMA fighter in Puerto Rico, hardly ever lifted weights, but the guy was jacked and chiseled. Never saw another male soldier in my time of service who was able to come close to his numbers on the APFT. As far as female soldiers scoring high on the APFT, I only knew two, one was a friend and the other was my squad leader, who both were in to serious fitness. They would knock out numbers about what you scored in this video, and, more or less, had the same build as you.
@@dylanwestrand9507 ??? It’s still multi cultural? They’re still pretty different too. (Also Europe is a very culturally diverse continent, so idk what you mean by ‘European based’)
literally the strongest yet the kindest and most humble woman i know :') US army fitness test aint got nothing on you!!AND IM WAITING FOR THE RELEASE DATE OF YOUR NEW GUIDE!!! i wanna be strong and lean like you ☺️☺️
I've been in the Army for almost 3 years so far and you did a great job! I knew you were going to kill it. The key is to be consistent in your training which is something that many of us struggle with. Now the new test is out and it requires weight training which is great but a lot of people have never touched weights believe it or not. It's crazy.
Great job. That's about the best I ever did. Really hard to do that run when your hip flexors are numb or shaking from muscle failure after the sit ups.
Sarah Anderson coming soon, if I can partner with a gym for it. I was away from home so couldn’t make all the equipment happen and get filming permission just yet!
It’s not official yet though. The ACFT is still in testing phase for quite a while and I wouldn’t be surprised if they made some changes before they make it the official PT test
I’m getting cold sweats watching this. PT test day was easily the most anxiety producing morning pt I ever did. I always passed but knowing that a no go in any one category was a fail for the whole thing was very intense.
Hahaha omg you after those push-ups is literally me on push-up day at my gym too haha. "What do you do to even not use your arms at all?" ... Me: please make them stop existing...
Everyone that did this test in his life knows that the worst thing is that you have to run 2 miles right after doing shit tone of sit-ups with your abdominal muscles tight and stiff.
I'm in the Army and you have better push up form, than most women I see that are in the Army, this includes NCO's and Officers. Also you would have only gotten 81. The 2 minutes were up before you hit the ground on number 82. Either way, that is absolutely awesome.
Correction* To pass the push-ups or the press-ups like you're saying you have to do a minimum of 19 push-ups, the max of repetitions is 42, so you managed to pass with a 100% on the push-ups. The minimum of the sit-ups is 53 repetitions and the maximum score is 78 in which you passed with another 100 points. For the 2 mile run the minimum time required is 18:54 and the maximum is 15:36 and you scored 100 points again! So your score in total is 300 points. You passed with 100% on every test! I know this because I'm in the ROTC and I take the APFT which is the Army Physical Fitness Test for short!
Holy!!!! This is just so intense but what an amazing video it was! Thank you for always keeping your videos interesting and informative at the same time!

Such an inspiration. I have seriously caught the fitness bug over the last couple of years. Love love love the workouts you post on IG and your videos are so relaxed and friendly xx Good job all round
You should try the NEW army physical fitness test. There's 6 events instead of 3.
I’m so sad they changed it 😂 like I was so prepared for the old one and now I have to train for the new one :(
@@trinloper9365 Imagine how much more impressive you'll be when you nail the new one! Some of the events are easier though like the run is easier.
Myself I am that is true, and I’m glad they are basing it off of your MOS because I don’t think every MOS should have the same physical requirements 😂
What are the new ones??
@@suuperlilly deadlifts, power throw, hand release pushups, spring-drag-carry, leg tuck and 2 mile run. Its the Army Combat Fitness Test or ACFT
She said:
"If I do the wrong technique its a 🙅🏼♀️"
"If I do the wrong rest time its a 🙅🏼♀️"
The US Army will be required to do a new fitness test soon: the ACFT instead of the APFT, if you are up to the challenge check it out!
CourtnayGal what’s the requirements for the ACFT?
@@emiliativernomal1232 There is no official requirements yet, they are still figuring that out. But the score you will need will be based off your MOS, so basically more active soldiers like infantry will have higher requirements than someone usually behind a desk. With the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), males and females no longer have separate point systems, which will be interesting. The dead lift, standing power throw, hand release push up, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck, and two mile run will be the new events. Just search for more on google if you are curious, I would love to see how Natacha would do with all of these events!
CourtnayGal there are official requirements already set in place. I’m in the US Army. The only thing is that the official date for the ACFT will be conducted in OCT 2020. In the meantime there will soon be unofficial recorded AFCT tracking as to see where the stance is for US Soldiers.
CourtnayGal By MOS is misleading because even if you are a POG but you are in say a combat arms unit you will be required to hit the standard for the combat soldiers. (All of this is according to my 1st SGT)
@@iT3K not true. As a military paralegal, required to know the regulations so as to punish those that break the rules. It is indeed by MOS. Your 1SG will not have any legal recourse if you are a desk jockey and cant pass the infantry version.
ON TO THE MARINE TEST !!!! IM HITTING THE NOTIFICATIONS TO SEE THIS ONE
she did 46 push-ups in 2 minutes 😮 that’s impressive woah
kyla snell not really it depends on your age bracket the older you get the more you have to do to max but your min goes down
Yea cause I’m 14 and I did 52 in one min
@Jake State Farm stfu weirdo
Jake State Farm you sound so unbelievably pathetic. Please get a hobby. You’re too old to be acting like this.
Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj it’s just bragging when no one cares.
I have graded multiple PT test didn’t see anything wrong with your sit ups they were spot on. Your push ups were good to you can get more by moving you hands out and using your chest muscles then moving your hands back together to reuse your arms well done 👍
I love the smell of alcohol during a PT test 🤙
I legitimately want to try this test out but I think my body parts would collapse and be scattered all over the field in different areas--seriously, my legs would be in the track, my arms near the fence, and my head in the grass XD
I’d pick ya back up.
@@lelandgaunt9985 kinda weirdchamp ngl
@@bruhstfuu
What is weird about it please explain?
I live for her arms😍😍😍. I sooo. love her!!! Her soul her spirit is soo friendly. Greetings from Germany 😍
Not to belittle the test but I knew you would smash it, you are so fit in a functional and well rounded way 😊
Me: eating ice cream in bed
Wainohia Pahlee hhhhh same 🤣
i cAnT LiKe iT cAuSe tHeReS 69 lIkEs
Idk
REEEEEEEEEE
That’s literally what I’m doing rn xD
It would be funny if it didn't meant a serious neglect of physical health and definite problems later on... get yourself together while you still can
You did well. You would have passed the test for an 18-21 year old man.
Here are what your scores would have been if you were a guy.
PU - 60 pts
SU - 100 pts (you crushed those)
Run - 68 pts.
Total - 228 pts
The max for that age group man is;
PU - 71
SU - 78
Run - 13:00
I'm on track to become a U.S. Army Nurse Officer, and watching you try this test made me so incredibly happy! :) You have no idea how much of a role model and inspiration you have been to me this past year!!
Mannn I love to see how she’s so honest with the counting and how honest she was after finishing and left the footage. Well done!
I NEVER DOUBTED YOU I KNEW YOU WOULD PASS! You really are my motivation to get fit and gain more strength
As someone who's failed the Army Physical Fitness Test many times before, worked myself to death to pass it, and who is now watching you go through with so much determination, honesty, and willpower, it's just... It's defeating to see all of these new recruits fail their way out of a good career *with* practice. You did so good without it, it puts me to shame. Thank you for your hard work. Keep it up. You are an inspiration.
Different age groups require differnt amounts. Women are also required to do LESS than men
@DaBoogie go try it for yourself you fat fuck
@@maxellis4034 I never got less than a 270, even when I took it with broken toes. 😂 You're a fucking slob if you can't get a meager 180.
@DaBoogie i like to see how many you can do, Mr Strong FUck.
@@phtevenmolz5030 180 pushups in 2 mins??
Great job on the PT test, as a former Drill Sergeant, we taught our basic training soldiers how to do the exercises and then gave them a diagnostic (non-graded) test to evaluate the fitness levels, then we tailored the program for the individuals with strength and conditioning exercises to help them with the actual push-up, sit-up and two mile runs. Keep up the good work.
Good job! sad thing is in the Army, we do the pt test at 5 a.m. and continue to train the entire rest of the day lol
Well, at least you know you can join the US army XD
She’s British so I think not.
@@totallyrandom1126 you're no fun
Jungkooks Lushes hair If you only knew....
@@totallyrandom1126 there are foreigners in the US military. You have to renounce your citizenship if you work inside a base outside of the US and be a US citizen, though.
Gotta get through all the yelling and no sleep at bootcamp first!
Look at that triceps during the push ups 😍 dang!
I'd really love to see a video on how you get access to all these places! Even access to gyms when you're on holiday and how you plan your workout schedule when you're in a different country. Maybe not a whole video, but just it would be good to hear!
Girl, I was cheering up for you with all my cells 🥰
You are simply amazing!
And also felt like crying seeing you go through each of these challenges 💪
I want to see you kick ass on the Marines test too!
im impressed with your perfect pace on the run.
I always knew you would smash it Natacha!!! And you did!!! 💪😁 also I think LEAN would be a good name for CUT 2.0! Shred, Tone and Sculpt are similar but Lean is definitely more Natacha-esque 😉
She's such a beast she could hit an hour gym session after that.
Instantly motivated when seeing this. You're amazing!!
The only thing that every person misses when they attempt this is that the sit ups counts when you are in the down position. Not when your chest touch your legs.
And when you actually touch the ground with your back fully and not barely
You’re in great shape girl! Your shoulders 😍😍😍
Natacha, you just inspired me to do some impromptu exercises in my dorm room while I wait for my next class. I knew you’d crush the test and hope you do the Marine Corp one!
Hopefully I can try one of your programs this summer!
You should try the fbi one aswell , love it girl keep it up 💜💜
Awesome video! I remember in my BCT there was a Puerto Rican in my platoon, at the time he was 25 (I believe), and he would knock out over 100-110 push ups, and 120-130 sit ups and ran a 10-11 minute two mile run during APFT's. The guy was a freak of nature, doing two-finger push ups with one hand in the barracks during down time. He was a MMA fighter in Puerto Rico, hardly ever lifted weights, but the guy was jacked and chiseled. Never saw another male soldier in my time of service who was able to come close to his numbers on the APFT. As far as female soldiers scoring high on the APFT, I only knew two, one was a friend and the other was my squad leader, who both were in to serious fitness. They would knock out numbers about what you scored in this video, and, more or less, had the same build as you.
She's British, in Australia, taking the US Army fitness test
Can't say we're not multi cultural here
All very European-based cultures though so not really that diverse.
@@dylanwestrand9507 ??? It’s still multi cultural? They’re still pretty different too. (Also Europe is a very culturally diverse continent, so idk what you mean by ‘European based’)
holding someone's feet after pushups is the hardest thing of the pt test
I always got stuck with the big guy or the farter and poor hygiene person.
@@lelandgaunt9985 rip
GIRL YOU ABSOLUTELY KILLED THE PUSH UP GAME!!!! I am so so soooo proud of you! PLEASE DO THE MARINE ONE! love you tons xx ❤️😍😘
literally the strongest yet the kindest and most humble woman i know :') US army fitness test aint got nothing on you!!AND IM WAITING FOR THE RELEASE DATE OF YOUR NEW GUIDE!!! i wanna be strong and lean like you ☺️☺️
I've been in the Army for almost 3 years so far and you did a great job! I knew you were going to kill it. The key is to be consistent in your training which is something that many of us struggle with. Now the new test is out and it requires weight training which is great but a lot of people have never touched weights believe it or not. It's crazy.
Great job. That's about the best I ever did. Really hard to do that run when your hip flexors are numb or shaking from muscle failure after the sit ups.
Girl, your form is amazing! 😍💪🏼💪🏼 you killed it
Ok UAU can I just say you're absolutely amazing?! This was really cool! Congratulations!! 💪
The ARMY just recently changed their PT test to be more accurate in physical fitness needs for combat. You should try the new test. 😊
Totally agree! Im in the Army and I find this one easy.
Yea I was hopong she'd do the updated one!
Sarah Anderson coming soon, if I can partner with a gym for it. I was away from home so couldn’t make all the equipment happen and get filming permission just yet!
It’s not official yet though. The ACFT is still in testing phase for quite a while and I wouldn’t be surprised if they made some changes before they make it the official PT test
@@Inspiringkate yeah it comes out in October right?
Inspiration, literally goals (that is all) .
I’m getting cold sweats watching this. PT test day was easily the most anxiety producing morning pt I ever did. I always passed but knowing that a no go in any one category was a fail for the whole thing was very intense.
Hahaha omg you after those push-ups is literally me on push-up day at my gym too haha. "What do you do to even not use your arms at all?" ... Me: please make them stop existing...
Omg literally even when they hang by your side it’s like an exercise 😂😂😂
PLEAAASE do the Marine test!!! You are such an inspiration thank you!
Guess she's gonna do the marine physical fitness test
Im american and omg everytime she says "press ups" cracks me up almost everytime lol. I had no idea people called it that
Everyone that did this test in his life knows that the worst thing is that you have to run 2 miles right after doing shit tone of sit-ups with your abdominal muscles tight and stiff.
I like to do the run at the end of my pt test personally
I'm in the Army and you have better push up form, than most women I see that are in the Army, this includes NCO's and Officers. Also you would have only gotten 81. The 2 minutes were up before you hit the ground on number 82. Either way, that is absolutely awesome.
EO rep joins the chat.
@@lelandgaunt9985 lmfao!!
She has better pushup form than most of anyone in the army lmao. Ive seen boys go down like 3 inches and get them counted
@@Phoenix-qh1fn thats quite sad tbh. I havent seen that at all. I usually only see passes for the females.🤷♂️
@@danielbrawner3677 rough. Idk what your post is but everyone gets passes here.
Girl u are always inspiring..will surely try to be like you someday
Love these videos, by far your best type of video, please do more like this and challenge test x
you got it sweetie!! Really happy you like it and thank you for the feedback!! xxx
I've never come across your channel before, but you're truely inspiring!!
Correction* To pass the push-ups or the press-ups like you're saying you have to do a minimum of 19 push-ups, the max of repetitions is 42, so you managed to pass with a 100% on the push-ups. The minimum of the sit-ups is 53 repetitions and the maximum score is 78 in which you passed with another 100 points. For the 2 mile run the minimum time required is 18:54 and the maximum is 15:36 and you scored 100 points again! So your score in total is 300 points. You passed with 100% on every test! I know this because I'm in the ROTC and I take the APFT which is the Army Physical Fitness Test for short!
Holy!!!! This is just so intense but what an amazing video it was! Thank you for always keeping your videos interesting and informative at the same time!
You’re welcome Annita!! Thank you so much for watching sweetie and really happy you enjoyed it!! Lots of love cx
Omg watching this felt like I was doing the exercises with you, but funny thing is, I’ve been laying on my bed, not even lifting a finger. 🤣😵
Same
you should workout more then
I would love to see her do the new one with 6 exercises.
You're a beast! Absolutely killed it
Love this! Pushing yourself to the max. Hell yeah!
