Best Measure(s) of Overall Fitness


Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

It's been quite a while since the last time I spent any meaningful amount of the forums, but change is in the air...

 

I'm in the process of planning out a year-long respawn and need your help. 

 

I would like to do some sort of test at the end of the year that will allow me to prove to myself that I'm truly back in shape. I'm thinking something like the Marine Corps Fitness Test...

 

The main difference I'm looking for is that I don't want it to involve any equipment if possible, and no crunches because they suck.

 

So, do any of you know of such a routine, or could you suggest some good exercises etc that you think only a "fit" person could do?

 

Thanks in advance!

Did a bit of googling and worked out that the MCFT has changed somewhat and they now allow pushups instead of pull-ups, and planks instead of crunches! I think we might have a winner.
