Strong_All_Along asked:

I’m female, 19, & currently in community college. I’m going to apply for a 2-year Army ROTC scholarship about a few months short of one year from now. I have a 4.0 GPA, I’m going to join school clubs such as Student Government and Phi Theta Kappa (Honors Society). I’m also going to volunteer at a local hospital. So I think I’m competitive as far as grades & extracurriculars go. But as for my fitness, I’m struggling, I can only run about a half of a mile before I have to walk. I can only do about 20 sit ups & I can only do about 10 push ups. I go to the gym every other day & run as much as I can & do sit ups & push ups. What else can I do?? Need to be above APFT standards with in one year from now to attend LTC. Is there really anything else I could be doing to help me improve faster? Any help is appreciated! If I continue what I’m doing now, do you think I could pass the APFT in time?
I’m within weight standards, I’m 5′ 8.5″ & weight 155 lbs.

Charlie asked:

I would think the sales poeple would all bodybuilders at golds gym.
other gyms and fitness centers I understand, but shouldnt gold be for bodybuilders only?
It was when it was founded.
I get sick of poeple going to the gym half ass or talking or acting lazy and sloppy then staring at me and making me feel uncomfortable giving me dirty looks when I’m training like an animal sweating and trying to work hard. Its sometimes unmotivating.
any suggestions??
I work out at home now because of this. My gym doesnt have any serious people like me. maybe a few. but not a lot. the only gym that does is 40 minutes away.
so far all of you have completely misunderstood my question (s) in this post.
one more rude naive answer and I will leave yahoo answers for good.
