Air Force PT Test Chart: Women 25-29
Women aged 25-29 typically face their first string of bi-annual re-tests while careers accelerate: upgrade training, first deployments, sometimes a return to testing after pregnancy. The variable in this bracket is rarely capability; it is rebuilding rhythm after interruptions. Here you will find the baseline minimums our calculator applies for women, the full 100-point scoring picture, and FAQs specific to ages 25-29.
| Component | Minimum | How it is read |
|---|---|---|
| 2-mile run | 25:40 | Maximum time for the minimum passing score - finish at or under this |
| 2-km walk | 17:22 | Maximum time, pass/fail approved alternate - carries no points |
| HAMR shuttle run | 20 shuttles | Minimum shuttles for the minimum passing score (approved alternate) |
| Push-ups | 14 reps | Minimum repetitions in one minute |
| Hand-release push-ups | 15 reps | Minimum repetitions (approved alternate strength component) |
| Sit-ups | 25 reps | Minimum repetitions in one minute |
| Cross-leg reverse crunches | 31 reps | Minimum repetitions (approved alternate core component) |
| Forearm plank | 1:25 | Minimum hold time (approved alternate core component) |
| Waist-to-height ratio | 0.49 or lower | Full 20 points at 0.49 or lower, tapering to zero at 0.6 or higher - scored, not pass/fail |

How the score composes for women 25-29
The arithmetic for women in the 25-29 group is the standard one: 50 possible cardio points, 15 each for strength and core, and 20 for WHtR, 100 in all.
| Component | Options | Max points |
|---|---|---|
| Cardio | 2-mile run or HAMR shuttle run (scored); 2-km walk (approved alternate, pass/fail, no points) | 50 |
| Strength | Push-ups or hand-release push-ups | 15 |
| Core | Sit-ups, cross-leg reverse crunches, or forearm plank | 15 |
| Body composition (WHtR) | Waist-to-height ratio, scored on its own scale - not a pass/fail gate | 20 |
In the 25-29 bracket, clearing 75 points with all minimums met passes the assessment for women; 90 and above earns Excellent.

Training focus for women 25-29
Keep an aerobic base you can step back onto. The calculator's baseline run ceiling for women is 25:40; after any training interruption, rebuild with two to three weeks of easy mileage before sharpening with goal-pace intervals rather than jumping straight into timed efforts.
The strength floor for women in this tool is 14 push-ups and 25 sit-ups. At 25-29, plank-based core work (the alternate component minimum is a 1:25 hold) doubles as run-posture training, which makes it efficient when the week only allows three short sessions.
FAQs: women 25-29
What are the PT minimums for women aged 25-29?
This calculator's baseline for women: 25:40 on the 2-mile run, 14 push-ups, and 25 sit-ups, with alternates such as 20 HAMR shuttles, 15 hand-release push-ups, or a 1:25 plank. Official 25-29 chart lines may vary; check DAFMAN 36-2905.
Do female standards relax between under-25 and 25-29?
In the official charts the 25-29 female column shifts slightly from under-25. The official AFMAN 36-2905 score charts step requirements through five-year age groups, and this page's numbers are read directly from the official AFPC PFRA chart for this exact bracket and gender - not a flattened baseline. Always confirm against the current chart before test day, since charts can be revised.
How do women 25-29 reach an Excellent rating?
Score 90 or more of 100 composite points with every minimum met. Practically, that means a run well under the baseline ceiling and rep counts far above the 14/25 floors, since minimums alone land near 70 points.
What happens to my testing schedule after pregnancy at this age?
DAFMAN 36-2905 provides a defined post-partum exemption and conditioning window before testing resumes; your medical provider and unit fitness program manager set the exact dates. The calculator itself never adjusts for that status, so treat its output as a goal-tracking estimate while you rebuild.
