Government to unveil fitness test for adults
(AP) - If you didn't get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award in school, the government is giving you another chance to prove you're in shape.
An adult fitness test is being introduced Wednesday by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. It will incorporate several of the exercises that millions of students undertake each year as they aim for a certificate signed by the president.
"What were trying to do is inspire and motivate Americans to move their bodies more," said Melissa Johnson, executive director of the council.
The test involves three basic components: aerobic fitness, muscular strength and flexibility.
