Fitness Center 236-2101
Failed your PT test. Now what?
by Paul D. Hackett, MS RCEP
Meet Our
New
Exercise
Physiologist
Think of your first failure as a wake-up call. This
might be the perfect opportunity to make some
changes to improve your overall health and ace
your next Fitness assessment.
Fitness is a hot topic and the Air Force takes it
very seriously. I can help you make a personalized
plan that fits your lifestyle.
Paul D. Hackett,
MS RCEP is here
to help you reach
your fitness goals.
He is a Registered
Clinical Exercise
Physiologist at
the Fitness Center
and can help with
lifestyle change,
modifying exercise
routines to adapt
to injuries, and
nutrition. Stop by
the Fitness Center
or call him at
236-2506.
Here’s a few tips for improving your fitness score.
• Stay positive and decide to make exercise
a regular part of your day. It needs to be a
MUST. Take care of your body and it will take
care of you!
• Eat better. There are simple things you can do
to adapt your diet to help you lose body fat
and improve that waist measurement!
To improve your speed:
• Run 3 times a week building up to 30 minutes
during each run. One of the three runs turn
into an interval run. Try 2:30 at faster than
your target fitness test pace and 2:30 recovery.
That will equal 5 intervals giving you 15 minutes of faster than goal pace training.
To lose a few pounds of body fat:
• Replace servings of bread, pasta and other
carby foods with vegetables like broccoli,
beans, spinach, peppers, onions etc.
• Drop all of or cut back on drinking your calories by way of pop, juice, sports drinks, etc.

• Work each muscle group two times per week

things fresh.
