The future of fitness testing.
Champagne anyone...?
I did barely any phys at all whilst I was in the military. Now that I've left and discovered that PT is no longer compulsory, I've done loads.
Feel healthier and better than I have in years.
I'll agree though - the PEd Empire building way of fitness testing is dreadful. Their time would be better spent making physical training accessible and enjoyable for those (like myself) that ordinarily have no predisposition or interest in it. I've encountered folk in civvy street that completely changed my attitude to physical fitness. The PEd staff I encountered in the military were just a bunch of judgemental, stopwatch carrying characters that just reinforced my opinion (at the time) that the gym was a place that normal folk should do their utmost to avoid.
