I propose a challenge to you all:
Take the USMC fitness test.
It's very simple:
- As many pull-/chin-ups as possible without letting go of the bar, no kipping (They must be strict pull-ups)
- As many crunches as possible in 2 minutes; arms crossing chest, elbows/arms must touch knees to count one rep
- Run 3 miles/5km
I plan on doing this today to count for my cardio. Will post results here once I'm done.
Scoring:
- 1 pull-up = 5 points, maximum of 100 points
- 1 crunch = 1 point, maximum of 100 points
- 18 minute time = 100 points, subtract 5 points for every additional 50 seconds.
- For most of you, 225 points is considered "1st class"
- 175 points = 2nd class
- 135 points = 3rd class
EDIT: My result:
- 20 chin-ups (+100)
- 60 crunches (+60)
- 3 miles in 19:31 (+85)
245 points
