Soup /fit/.

I'm enlisting in the Air Force and am 10 pounds over my max weight, apart from running, push-ups, sit-ups, and leg lifts, what are some good exercises to help me tone up and slim down?

Your personality and intelligence is more likely to get you a higher rank than your physical ability. As i said though, start HIIT to burn the pounds and gain better stamina in running.

Jog everywhere, regardless of what anyone else says to you.

What I meant was trying to obtain the "Warhawk" Physical Fitness Award

Standards for the Warhawk award.
Males:

1.5 mile Run - 08:55
Sit-Ups - 70 (in 2 minutes)
Push-Ups - 65 (in 2 minutes)
Pull-Ups - 10

I imagine 70 sit-ups in 2 minutes would kill your lower back.

I do 60 in one, so 70 in two is nothing special.

For the record, 65 pushups/2minutes is only three more than the normal MAX score for one minute, 70 situps/two minutes is 15 more than the MAX score for one minute and 1.5 miles in 8:55 is 35 seconds faster than the MAX score. Warhawk is above the normal max score but it's not that hard to get.

lol i did the same, but obviously didn't do it (i was ineligible, eye problems) but you'd be surprised. basic and tech school really helps out your running. it's those pussies that go "ow i have a cramp" or "it hurts" and quit that fail. I never gave up, cept that time i hurt my shoulder. but another story.

lol no!
rank goes by time in the air force for the first 4 and then a competitive test is added for the rest. If you have college credits, or sign up for six years (if the option is still there) you can go in as an E-3 (A1C, PFC)

No, I'm a fatty, but I lift a lot, 62 in one minute is what is needed for max points for the annual physical fitness test. I can do them in less. I usually have time to kill when I finish also.

OK to answer your question OP. just lift if you want the award. I didn't have warhawk 5 years ago when I went in (still in). We had honor grad. which also means don't fuck up! and you're personally selected by your MTI (drill sergeant). my max was 184. I was around 185-200. I made it to 183. I tried running once. didn't work. I drank a 40 oz soda for lunch every day before i went to work. I didn't have an appetite either. the weight just left me. just watch what you eat. when you get close to your MEPS date, you can just not eat dinner for a few days. I lost two pounds at my overnight in the hotel prior to meps by skipping dinner. eat salad if you want. no candy shit. after you enlist, I don't remember if you have to maintain the weight for when you start basic (you will have to go back to MEPS).
that's how i did it. I'm still in. I'm 225 now. I do weights a lot. If it wasn't for my shit legs I could run a 12 minute 1.5 (slow, but passing). sit ups and crunches I can max (62 and 55 in 1 minute) with a 40 inch waist
