The following are the Steps taken to ensure the passing of policing testing
1. Flexibility
Ways to attain flexibility;
Determine the requirements
Eisinger, Wittels, Enne, Zeilinger, Rausch, Hölzl, & Eisinger (2011) stated that a
combination of evaluations to assess aerobic body fitness, flexibility, and body makeup, it is
essential to ask the recruiter or search online for the elements that are needed. All
departments of the military require body fitness. If one can’t access what is necessary for the
test, one should create routine testing with most physical elements tests eg, situps, pull-ups,
push-ups, and running (Eisinger et al., 2011).
Determine the physical abilities
To identify whether you can pass your trial, you need to know what you can do in
each category that you will be tested (Hardy, Kern, Dutz, Weber, Göbel & Steinmetz, 2014).
Assuming you is taking the test today and practices each exercise. Evaluate how close you
are coming to the goal and how much further you need to go. If currently one is not
physically fit, you should try all way possible to be healthy before the day of testing.
Principally you should not have chest pains and neck straining; also importantly, you
must talk to your doctor if you have any heart problems or if you experience shortness of
breath after a little exercise. Flexibility reduces the chances of being injured; most injuries
don't occur when one moves slowly but occurs due to lack of flexibility. Longer strides are
encouraged since they involve versatility, which enhances physical performance.

Estimate the duration of preparation
Seiler, Jøranson, Olesen & Hetlelid (2013) said that enough time is required for
military training. It is a recommendation that one is supposed to train three months earlier
before the actual day. You are supposed to practice soft exercise before indulging in
laborious exercise. Make sure your expectations and schedule are healthy and realistic.
2) Cardiorespiratory endurance
Achieved through the following;
Create a weekly schedule interchanging strength and cardio-training
One requires a day to rest in between the activities that are similar to allow muscles to
rebuild. Plan to exercise six days in a week alternating between strength exercise on odd
numbers and cardio in even number days (Seguin, 2015). Make sure you rest on the seventh
day. If you are new in the field of practice, you must start little and start wit four days’ trials
in a week. One must include cooldown and warmup exercises, for example, taking five
minutes after completing to cool down. Training helps your body to use oxygen
appropriately, to attain cardiovascular gains; one should do twenty to thirty minutes. This
training helps in improving heart health and the reduction of fat.
3) Muscular strength
Achieved through;
Pacing yourself
A constant speed should be maintained since it is crucial for repetitive and prolonged
exercises like multiple mile runs and crunches. Running too fast at the start of the exercise,
