Hi,

I am currently 15 years old, and I'm only going to be 16 in December. Since having a hockey coach that is the navy this year, I am really interested in joining the reserve when I'm 16. My only problem is that i am out of shape. I am about 6 foot 1, 180 pounds. I can run as far as i need for the test, but not fast enough. And I can't do 19 push up, i can barely do 2-3 shinups  but i can do 19 sit ups. I know that i need to start working out NOW, but I'm alone, and when i work out alone, i just cant push myself hard enough. I had dryland for hockey and when some1 is pushing me i like it so i try as hard as i can.

Please tell me some advises.

Are you living in an urban area or a city? Is there a gym close to your house?
