Physical Training

PT AT 7000 FT.

Physical fitness is a must for any soldier in the Army or the Army ROTC. The NAU Army ROTC offers Physical Training (PT) classes for credit for MS I cadets, MS II cadets, and civilian students who wish to join us and improve their fitness level. MS I & II cadets are required to take the PT courses (see: Classes).

PT is held every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 0600-0730.

Our PT sessions are designed and led by MS III cadets and are focused to improve each individual’s performance on the Army Fitness Test (AFT) and overall physical fitness.

The AFT consists of five events:

• 3 REPETITION MAXIMUM DEADLIFT (MDL)
• HAND RELEASE PUSH-UP – ARM EXTENSION (HRP)
• SPRINT-DRAG-CARRY (SDC)
• PLANK (PLK)
• TWO-MILE RUN (2MR)

AFT Standards can be found here.
