You’re pretty fit if you can pass the Army’s physical fitness test with flying colors! No matter your age, if you're in the Army, you have to do this test at least twice a year. Talk about incentive to stay in shape!
The test consists of:
Push-ups for 2 minutes
Sit-ups for 2 minutes
2-mile run
You have to do them in this order and take no more than a 20-minute break between each category.
Here are a couple of examples of scores for a specific age range:
If you’re curious and want to test yourself, check out this website for scoring details and further information.
A big thank you to all service members for what you do!
