What Are The Physical Fitness Standards To Be A Marine?

I’m interested in doing personal fitness. I figure I’d set my bar at the best of the best. I’ve looked at the Marine recruitment site and they offer not even a hint of what sort of fitness you’d need to be in.
Thanks for commenting.

just to let you know if you are looking to set your physical fitness at the best of the best you arent going to find that in your average marine there are parts that have way harder physical fitness standards so you might want to look into those pt standards
Navy Seals
Army Special Forces
Delta Force
Army Rangers
people liek that
In order to actually be accepted into the marines, you have to AT LEAST meet these physical strength tests (note, this is the lowest number, you have to have at least this, hopefully better though!)
8 pull-ups, 40 crunches, run 3 miles within 28 minutes. thats worth 40 points. 100 points would be 20 pull-ups, 100 sit-ups, and run the 3-miles within 18 minutes.
It varies a lot on what that Marines does (He might be Infantry or a desk jockey). As far as fitness what do you want body mass or cardio fitness? The question you should ask is what type of fitness goal do you have. Bodybuilder, Strength Builder, Runner, or Athlete. As far as Marines they minimally run 4 miles with gear, do 10-20 pulls, and calisthenics. Not really any thing special so gearing your fitness goal to what you want physically is most important at this point.
