Physical Exercises You Will Do in the Police Academy | How to Physically Prepare for the Academy

#policeacademy #femalepoliceofficer
Hi guys and thanks for stopping by! My name is Melissa and I have been a police officer for over 16 years now! I am currently a lieutenant in a large metropolitan police department and I created this video to show you the ACTUAL exercises you will be doing in a physically demanding police academy. These exercises were not pretty…especially when reviewing in editing…wow. But I really wanted to share this with everyone asking more about the physical training required in the academy! I hope that by reviewing this video, you can be more prepared physically for the police academy!
**These are just my personal thoughts, opinions, and experiences. They may not be the same as yours! And that's ok!** I hope you find some value and/or entertainment in this video.
Thank you so much for your love and support! I can’t wait to see you in my next video!

#notsponsored! But Asics are, in my opinion the best running shoes! Especially for people like me who are NOT built like runners.

Running has been the #1 exercise so far in my academy.

[@copmom911]

That's horrible, but yes, usually several times a week...so hard on your joints. How is it going other than that? And do you find the running doable?

[@sweetsr08]

Thank you so much for covering this!!!

[@copmom911]

Thanks for watching! 💙

[@moriah_nicole16]

Thank you so much for this! I have been struggling so much with pushups!

[@copmom911]

Oh no! Are you doing them in increments throughout the day? That is so helpful. 💙

[@moriah_nicole16]

@@copmom911 Yes! After having a kid, they seem a bit more difficult 🤣

Hope it helps! 💙

I ruptured my acl coming down the other side of the wall and I am 5 months post acl reconstruction. My plan was to give it atleast a year post surgery before even thinking about applying but now I’m wondering if I will need to wait longer😬

[@copmom911]

Oh no! Listen to your body! I hate to see when people try to push themselves through injuries and hurt themselves even worse! :(

[@adamti9701]

Any plans on doing arresting procedures ?

[@Cranban176]

[@gabrielfelixmunoz739]

one of the few LTs Ive ever seen in great shape

[@copmom911]

You’re so kind, it’s a never ending battle trying to stay active and strong 💙

[@arenaalvizo709]

I’m good at doing push-ups non stop but from the videos I’m seeing on here, the push-ups have a plank hold after each one. How many push-ups/planks should I expect to do in the academy?

[@copmom911]

They’re going to switch it up depending on what you’re doing. They may put you in lean and rest for five minutes. Or they may have you do a combination of push ups and lean and rest. They used to say down and up at different intervals when doing push-ups which was annoying. But if you’re practicing with lean and rest and also doing several sets of push-ups each day, you will be ready for it. Everyone gets tired and fatigues but you just have to keep getting back up. You got this! 💙

[@arenaalvizo709]

Thank you!!

[@allielewis1878]

Can you not do “girl” push ups at the academy?

[@user-qe8fm8wt9m]

It’s all good. Sounds like you’re using a microphone 🎤👍

[@bambi7695]

Do females have to do bench presses or pull ups?

[@copmom911]

In my academy not for testing purposes but in PT sometimes. Not often since both require equipment

[@jsacodes916]

I recommend reading 80/20 Running by Matt Fitzgerald. You will thank me, guaranteed.

[@copmom911]

Interesting! I bet it is good! 💙

[@jsacodes916]

@@copmom911 Completely changed my training for running. It's how many elite runners train, too.

[@summerjames4713]

I’m having trouble with pushups

[@summerjames4713]

I can do everything else perfectly fine but pushups I can’t do

[@theprophetier7756]

I know LAPD js going intense with their PT due to all the crime there
