The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports recently launched a fitness test for those over the age of 18 at adultfitnesstest.org. Components include a run or walk to estimate your level of aerobic fitness; half sit-ups and push-ups to gauge muscular strength and endurance; and the Sit and Reach test for flexibility. The resulting FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type of activities) score evaluates and provides ways to improve fitness.
