About What exercies do they give you at the Police Academy in Florida

What exercies do they give you at the Police Academy in Florida?
I will start my police academy en Hillsborough Comm. College next March to work with St. Petersburg Florida PD. I’m currently working for the Puerto Rico PD. I was 80 pounds overweight, and i have lost 47 already. I’m working out hard to get in shape but since the academy is in a community college I want to know FOR SURE if they give you PT at the academy and if they do what exercises do they give you. I want to know how to prepare myself for training. I will start my police academy en Hillsborough Comm. College next March to work with St. Petersburg Florida PD.

Answer 1 :
You will get PT at the academy. We ran 2 miles a day, weight training, sit ups and push ups. It was like high school book work and PE class.
Answer 2 :
Well, I can't speak for Florida. States and even individual academies run the gambit in terms of fitness and PT programs. Some requiring none at all, others are on the level of military PT. Generally, the big three are push-ups, situps and running. Pull ups seem to be a distant forth. Other activities might include mountain climbers, jumping jacks and other calisthenics. Most police academies have three main things they test on, pushups, situps and running as I said before. Everything else is down simply to build muscle or burn calories. I would recommend working the three I mentioned and focusing less on the others. Jog a couple miles every day and do some pushups and situps whenever possible and you should be in good shape. My daily work out is 4-5 sets of pushups or situps. 30 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of free weights and I manage to stay in good shape
