I didn't realize that there was an adulttest too. I used to be really good at sit ups and pull ups way back then. I was never good at flexibility and I would fail that portion today.

I hadn't thought of the presidential fitness test since they made us do it in jr high. I should go try it again. Hopefully I would do better this time!

I'm going to take the test! I'll let you know how it goes. No I didn't know it existed for adults.

I'm running my first trail relay race this morning. I have the first leg. No pressure!! Sitting here hoping it doesn't rain.

I love that you did this, that is pretty funny to me but its funny to look at the standards! (ps on my blog today I threw a shout out to you, although my husband probably doesn't like you because I want to go to lululemon asap!!)

Hah. WOW! I haven't done that test since high ...

2011-08-20T11:15:03.464-06:00

Hah. WOW! I haven't done that test since high school..which was....um...a couple of years ago. You know what I always did badly in was the chin ups! I think 2 was a C and I may have done 2. Maybe. That is funny. I should try to do it again. I wonder if I am in better or worse shape than when I was 17?

2011-08-20T09:47:01.252-06:00

I didn't know about the fitness test you did, but I signed up for the presidents physical fitness challenge a few weeks ago. Crap! That reminds me I should start logging my workouts into that again!

I like the race bag you got. Pens and water bottle are great!

I have never heard of this test! Stopping by from Fitness Friday. Good luck on your run!

I'm really impressed with your 40 push-ups. : ) Wishing you a fast race tomorrow!

2011-08-19T19:15:26.467-06:00

ahh the presidential test. we did this in school though all i remember is the "sit and reach" and maybe trying to jump high against the wall? i will have to retry this one - the adult version / see how well i score. i'm sure my flex test is not good either...

great photographer! :)

2011-08-19T18:35:25.384-06:00

I remember the test from school but no clue there was an adult version. Also, doesn't seem that kids do it in my school, which they should, because many would fail, and maybe that would be a wakeup call to parents! Your 1.5 mile time is ridic. You are just awesome. I'm doing my first tri this weekend - I picked it because I knew nothing about tris and some girls I was running with told me it was fun! And it's all women, which I'm excited about. Have a good race!

2011-08-19T18:01:34.728-06:00

The only part of that I didn't flunk in junior high was the "V-Sit" because I am/was super flexible!

2011-08-19T17:13:27.095-06:00

I had no idea there was an adult version of this test! I have absolutely no desire to relive my elementary PE days. :)

2011-08-19T15:29:33.394-06:00

Ha ha! So funny about the tights. :) Good luck tomorrow girl!

2011-08-19T14:40:28.462-06:00

Very cool stuff. Might have to find out how fit I am.

I am running the South Valley Half. I was given a free entry to the race. Then I was roped into pacing. Could be very interesting.

Have a great weekend! And good luck tomorrow!

2011-08-19T14:32:47.974-06:00

This is a great idea. I am not very flexible either. Your 3 year old is a pretty good photobug!

2011-08-19T13:31:01.948-06:00

I did the Presidential Fitness thing as part of a group a couple of years ago. We got up to a silver medal...it was nothing like you describe...I'm guessing it's all been revamped.
No worries, I'm SURE I am at least that unflexible. Running will do that. Ugh.

2011-08-19T13:23:01.482-06:00

Pretty amazing photography if you ask me! I did not know about this but I hated hated this stuff as a kid I was awful at it and lets not even talk about the mile. Wow how things change. Good luck on your race, can't wait to hear about it.

2011-08-19T13:01:11.895-06:00

I didn't know there was an adult version of the President's Fitness Test - I'll have to check it out.

Good luck with your race!

2011-08-19T11:39:59.635-06:00

ahhhhhhhh!!! no....the presidential fitness test was the worst in grade school. i hated it. haha. i think i would actually do better now but i bet my flexibility still sucks :) good luck at your race!

2011-08-19T10:20:17.222-06:00

OH this brings back SOOO many memories. I vividly remember doing these tests in the 5th grade. ha ha I had no idea they still did them. Great scores by the way. You are awesome!

Good luck at the race tomorrow!!!

I know they have a similar test for kids. At my sons school 2 kids got the Presidents fitness award with a certficate signed by him. That was the first I had heard of it.

2011-08-19T09:00:15.667-06:00

I didn't know the test existed. My 10 year old did it last year in school... I'm going to go check it out.

Good luck with your race!

2011-08-19T08:53:34.364-06:00

I knew about the test, but I didn't know that it was for more than just students in schools. I'll check it out, thanks!
