A beautiful day for a run.

We had a nice turnout this morning for our Sunday run.  8 people showed up including newcomers Margaret and Matt.  Suzanne plotted out a nice course the went through the older neighborhoods of Wilson Street, Schley Ave. and  Homestead Ave.  Most people ran around 9-9:30 pace with a couple of others at a 12-12:30 pace.  Thanks to everyone who came out and be sure to come out next week.

Presidential Fitness Challenge

Could You Pass the Presidental Adult Fitness Challenge?

Written by: Gregory Schnese on June 7, 2008

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).

 

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
