Thanks for your question 🤙🏼
My advice would be apply as soon as you are old enough, the process can take a long time. Sometimes applicants reach hurdles with various things such as medical, fitness etc.
Once you have applied you will be able to receive fitness support from your local armed forces careers office if they provide it and you required it.
The army fit app on the App Store will also help.
Check out the army homepage on fitness guidelines per job role.
If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to message.
