So, you think you’re fit? Why don’t you let the president be the judge of that with The President’s Challenge Adult Fitness Test. This website allows you to test your Aerobic Fitness, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility and Body Composition; all of which are indicators of risk for chronic disease and directly reflect one’s ability to perform activities of daily living (housework or job-related tasks for example) .
In order to complete the evaluation you will have to perform a 1 mile walk or 1.5 mile run, a minute’s worth of half sit-ups and full push ups, and a sit and reach test. Sound familiar? I don’t know about you, but I’m having flashbacks to gym class. You will also need to provide your height, weight and waist circumference for the body composition portion.
There is a detailed instruction booklet to guide you through the process. Once you have completed all the tests, you enter your results and receive and score with recommendations. So grab a buddy and get started to see how you stack up against other adults around the country!
