Pass Your PT Test: An Unconventional Guide to Passing the Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment.

by David Soto Jr.

If you have never failed your PT Test, then this book is not for you. If you think Airmen who fail are just lazy, then this book is not for you. If you feel that a book on how to pass the PT test is dumb, then this book is not for you. However, if have recently failed or are concerned about an upcoming assessment, keep reading!

I have gone from failing and being in "the program" to ending my career with a 97.5. My goal is to produce the same results for all the Airmen out there, who are struggling with the PT Test, themselves.

This book is not going to turn you into a machine overnight. This not my version of P90X. This is not Weight Watchers. I am not going to sell you a magic drink powder. I am not going to ask you to join a network marketing or multi-level marketing scheme. What I am going to give you are information and guidance.

The Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment is broken down into three parts. Strength, Aerobic Endurance, and Waist Measurement. In this book, I will give you unconventional methods to address each of these.

I will help you Pass Your PT Test by covering the

*Strength (push-ups and sit-ups)- I can teach you how to improve these numbers drastically in 30 days by showing you how to "grease the groove."
*Aerobic Endurance (1.5-mile run)- This one isn't so easy. We will address ankle and foot mobility, running efficiency and training to specifically target your heart and lungs.
*Body Composition (waist measurement)- This can be easy, but in most cases, we need to spend some time on this. We will cover food addiction, inflammatory foods, and stress management.

Although I am retired, I still want to serve. The best way I see that's possible is to apply my years of research and experience to helping Airman never let the PT Test get in the way of a 5 EPR, promotion, or assignment ever again.

About the author

David is a retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant who didn't realize until reaching his forties that he was a writer. As a child, he struggled with learning disabilities which yielded him grades that barely earned him his high school diploma. With marks like that, the thought of being an author never occurred to him. Also, college was out of the question. He joined the military and retired 23 years later. The same week David took off the uniform for the last time, never to put it back on, he hit the road traveling the U.S. in his van.

David penned several fitness and nutrition article and books, but after listening to On Writing by Stephen King, he decided to give writing fiction a try. He started out with a novel about an Air Force Sergeant who's PTSD caused him to do terrible things in his sleep. This project was for practice as well as fun, and he published a chapter every week on his website www.DavidSotoWrites.com. After several months, this project came to an abrupt halt.

One of Stephen Kings' pieces of advice was to become a voracious reader of fiction. David became obsessed with reading novels and became reacquainted with his favorite genre, magical realism. One evening while reading, he could not get out of his head the vision of a beautiful woman who sold magical chocolates to people who needed to rekindle the fire in their love life. That was the birth of Los Chocolates de Esperanza Diamanté and the series of books that followed.
