Run. The first day of training you will be required to run. Typically, this is more of a slow jog, what in the US Army is referred to as an Airborne Shuffle, but it requires stamina, and the only way build the stamina you will need is to run.
If might also be advisable to build arm strength for the thousands of push-ups you will perform. Additionally, if you are planning on acting up in the chow line, you might want to throw a few hundred pull-ups into your routine as well.
Considering you will be required to perform sit-ups on your PT test, you might want to work those in too. And, if you are unfamiliar with squat-thrusts, and leg lifts, you should perhaps think about these also.

A good exercise to do before you leave for basic training is running. Building up your cardiovascular endurance is important because basic training will involve a lot of running and physical activity. Start by jogging or running for at least 30 minutes, three times a week, gradually increasing the intensity and duration as you get closer to your departure date.

How long is it before someone that joins the army can visit their home when on training?
depends on when you get to basic training. they allow trainees to go home for Christmas leave now, a few years back they would go straight through training and not get leave before graduating. so you're first chance to go home would probably be after AIT, so with a 9week basic training and lets say an average AIT lasts about 4 or 5 weeks, you're looking at at least 14weeks before you actually have a good solid chance of getting leave to go home. they give soldiers weekends off now during AIT too btw.

Not a clear enough question...... I will attempt to answer with what I believe your question is.

You are required to serve the duration of your agreed terms of service be it 2 to 6 years. When you have completed your time you are free to leave the Army or you can choose to reenlist. You are authorized to take leave when you have completed all required training to include Basic Combat Training, Advanced Individual Training and or Airborne or Ranger Training.
