Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
Today I particpated in my Department's program called Law Fit. It is a program designed to assess the fitness level and how we can preform crucial job tasks. It is a test that has multiple parts.
The first test that we completed today was a 1.5 mile run. I finished third in my group with a time of 13 minutes and 42 seconds. That isn't a bad time for the run at all (considering I hate to run and I haven't run in years).
The next test that we did was a V sit and reach. I really stunk it up in this test (sad considering I use to be extremely flexible in college).
Following that test we did pushups. It was to failure. I was able to do 27 pushups. That isn't too bad for a guy with a shoulder that is not doing too well.
After that we did situps. It was as many as you could do in a minute. I was only able to do 30 situps. I wish that they had more padding because everytime I went up I could feel my tailbone hit the floor.
The next test that we did was a lat pull down test. We had to pull down 100 pounds of weight as many times as we could. I was able to make 13 lat pull downs at that weight. Again, my shoulder was acting up and really bothering me again.
After that we did a max bench press. I was only able to press up 185 pounds. I guess that isn't bad, but I use to be able to do more.
The last test is an obsticle course that is a certain distance and you have to jump over a 3 foot gap, climb over a 5 foot wall, do a 20 foot low crawl, go up and down a step 12 times, climb through a window, choose a suspect (you get the description in the beginning of the course), drag a 150 pound dummy 25 feet, and then dry fire a gun through a small hole with your right hand and left hand. The time stops after you pull the trigger. I did this in 1 minute and 15 seconds (this isn't too bad).
Overall I think that I did okay in it. Not bad for a 31 year old guy who had a heartattack 3 years ago.
Does anyone else have to do fitness assessments for work or anything else?

You Go Heave!!!!
now shush and be a good boy and play along. ;-)
I joined the Army when I got out of high school and minimum requirements to pass the physical was:
2 mile run in less than 18 minutes
At least 14 pushups in 1 minute
At least 37 situps "
At least 9 pullups "
Those were the quals for females...the men had slightly higher numbers, and they also base your ability on your BMI and body fat percentage.
The Marine corps is much more extreme, and the Air Force is the most lax.
