ready – fit for #teamarmee 1.4.7-9830d6b

The Swiss Army's ready app offers a comprehensive solution tailored to individual fitness levels and recruitment goals. It provides users with sport programs specific to various roles, including parachute reconnaissance, mountain specialists, rescue medics, and tank engineers. This targeted training can enhance preparation for desired roles in basic military training (RS).

The ready app is designed to support candidates in their preparation for recruitment and basic training. Users will focus on improving strength, endurance, and mental resilience, while systematically increasing their fitness levels. Additionally, the app provides valuable insights into sports, nutrition, and mental strength. Such preparations are crucial for reducing the risk of injury—both during RS and beyond—and for coping with the physical and psychological demands of military life, which often exceed those of civilian life.

Developed in collaboration with the Federal Office of Sport (BASPO), the ready app incorporates the latest sports science findings.

• Users receive a tailored training plan aligned with their physical fitness and desired military function.
• Each week includes four training sessions with progressively increasing intensity levels.
• The training can be performed without equipment, relying solely on bodyweight exercises.
• Over 330 instructional videos are available for all exercises.
• The app can be integrated with sports watches or fitness trackers.
• A training diary is included to log all athletic activities.

• Users can earn awards and recognitions for achieving their goals.
• Successes can be shared on social media platforms.

The development of the ready app continues to evolve, with enhancements being made regularly.
