Ok I was in the Marines, I advise against joining that particular branch because it's a pain in the ass and mentally exhausting. That said, if you still join the Marines you'll do well on your physical fitness tests if you can run 3 miles in 25 mins or less, do 10 pullups and 100 crunches in 2 mins (iirc...). Unless you go infantry you'll probably run or do calisthenics with your company/platoon/shop/whatever 3 days out of the week.
AF, Army, Navy, Coast Guard will have a slightly easier physical requirement but I can't say for sure what's expected. Your recruiter will probably let you know what's in store for you physically.
Also, I am back in school after a 4-year enlistment and most of the time I just wish I stayed in school... but the Montgomery GI Bills gives me almost $1500 every month, 9 months out of the year for being in school full time.
tl;dr, pushups, pullups, 3 mile run (but better to stay in school)
