Your CBP fitness test may include training in the use of force, an obstacle course, controlled falls, and a weight carrying challenge. Previous CBP applicants recommend keeping yourself mentally sharp and physically fit. Be prepared to discuss with the interviewer the tangible actions you take to ensure your fitness for the role.

"I have always kept myself in pique physical condition, and continue to do so through weight lifting, long-distance cardio, and CrossFit. I am in the best shape of my life and will commit to maintaining a strong workout regime throughout my career with CBP. Although physical fitness naturally contributes to mental health and stability, I am sure to prepare myself further through guided meditations, reading books on leadership, and even taking the time to train my memory and attention through Luminocity brain games."

Great! Consider talking more about the type of exercises you've done. Emphasize the hard work you've put in as this will show the interviewer that you really want the job.
