Army Gets Fitness Makeover
The army is about to toughen up!
For the last 30 years the army has had the same fitness requirements, but they’re all about to change. Instead of having to do sit-ups, soldiers will have to do things like run on a balance beam with two 30-pound canisters of ammunition, drag a sled weighted with 180 pounds of sandbags, and vault over obstacles while carrying a rifle.
Wow.
The current fitness test simply involves sit-ups, push-ups and a two-mile run twice a year within times that vary by age and gender.
The test is being modernized to help prepare soldiers for battle more effectively — they won’t ever have to do sit-ups mid fight, but they probably will have to sprint while holding a rifle.
This sounds so intense, but the more prepared they are the better!
