The Active Family

Just about every 20-30 something adult in America probably remembers taking the President’s Fitness Challenge in school as a kid. I certainly can recall with ease the embarassment I felt when unable to complete even one single pull up.

I can do a few now, but that’s beside the point. The challenge was created to document the general health and fitness of America’s kids. Now there is a new program to do the same for adults. The Presidential Physical Fitness test for adults lets you see how fit you are now, giving you an evaluation once you input all the needed data. After you have been working out and eating well, you can go back and retake the challenge to see how you have improved! All in all it looks like a great motivational tool, as well as giving valuable information as to the relative fitness of adult Americans who take the test.

I’ll be taking the test next week, and letting you know the results (gulp). Please consider taking the test and posting your results here as well. We can all benefit from positive motivation!
