Description of how to do Pushups for the PT Test

Audrey found this info online! Here is the pushup style for the physical fitness test. Send me your results!!

So the new strength test I am making up will be like this:

  1. Number of pushups in two minutes. Each pushup starts high and drops to the floor—lift your hands off the floor—then push back up. Rest only on top. –each counts 2 points
  2. Number of body weight squats to quads parallel with the ground in two min. No resting—each counts 1 point
  3. Number of pullups [hands facing away from you] in two min, can rest hanging. –each counts 3 points
  4. Number of dips on a chair [against a wall] in two min with upper arms parallel with the ground at the bottom. Feet on floor- straight legs – each counts 2 points
  5. Number of situps in 2 min with legs bent 90 deg but elbows touching knees at top—each counts 2 points. Can hook feet under a couch or have someone hold them down.
