- Get a good night's sleep before the day of the CPFT.
- Eat a good evening meal and drink lots of liquids (NO ALCOHOL).
- Eat a good breakfast if you have at least 3-4 hours before the test. If not, drink some water. If you drink coffee, one cup is all right but NO MORE.
- If you smoke, give it up (preferably for good) at least 12 hours prior to the test.
- As in any competition, tell yourself that you are a winner, that you CAN do it, and that you CAN DO BETTER THAN EVER!
- Let OUT air when you come up in the sit-up or go up in the push-up. Breathe IN when you go down in the sit-up or go down in the push-up. DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH.
- When running, breathe naturally and deeply! DO NOT take quick, shallow breaths. YOU NEED AIR TO RUN 2 MILES.
- If you have a break between events, WALK around; DO NOT lie down. Lying down or remaining inactive may make your next event HARDER. By walking around, your body will recover more rapidly.
GOOD LUCK...
GO FOR IT...
