PT Test - http://www.recruiting.forces.gc.ca/engraph/howtojoin/fitness_eval_e.aspx
This is the link to the recruiting website section for the test. There are videos and a PDF document with reams of information. I honestly don't know how we managed when I got in initially ('87). I was told at the interview that I would have to do situps, pushups, handgrip assessment, etc. I even vaguely remember having to bench a certain weight (although in my old age, my memory might be faulty). It never occurred to me to worry about the test, I was more concerned about how fit I would actually be for Basic. I have adopted the same attitude again. Being sleep deprived and constantly pushing to do one's best from 0500 - 1100 takes a toll. If you can only manage the minimum in a sedentary civilian life, good luck on BMQ or IAP/BOTC whatever the case may be. Stop fretting, use the resources the CF supplies, when in doubt ... call the recruiting centre, just do it. I cannot imagine the basket cases that arrive in St. Jean due to all of this worrying about PT, leg hair, failure rates, yelling, etc.
