Could You Pass the Presidential Adult Fitness Challenge?Do you remember taking the Presidential Fitness Challenge in grade school? I sure do. The running, push-ups, sit-ups and reaching? As recently reported on NPR, the President’s Council on Fitness and Sports has developed a version of this same test for adults (I’m having bad flashbacks already).

How do you stack up against the challenge? Find out after the jump.

The Presidential Adult Fitness Test is broken into four parts:

  • Aerobic Fitness Test: A 1-mile walk or 1.5 mile run
  • Muscular Strength & Endurance Test: Half Sit-Ups and Push-Ups
  • Flexibility Test: Sit & Reach
  • Body Composition: Not too much body fat, especially around the belly
