    As part of our assessment centre, we do not have push ups but instead have a medicine ball throw used to assess your power vs quantity of push ups. That being said, push ups can be a useful exercise to improve your medicine ball throw. More details on the Assessment can be found here - https://jobs.army.mod.uk/how-to-join/army-assessment/soldier/. When you get to Phase 1, there will be a progressive program to improve your fitness and strength. This will allow you to improve and meet the standards we need!
