[Nick R]

i am wondering how many perfect* push ups would be good to be able to do when you get there (how fit should i be?)
also how many sit ups and how long of a 2 mile should i be able to run? also when i join (in 5 yrs ) ill be 18

basically how many should i be able to do. sorry for a lot of words and repitition.

 

[Jethro Gipps]

50 Push-ups ( 2 minutes)
50 Sit-ups (2 minutes)
2 Mile run - 12-15 minutes

Start a healthy pysical fitness program now, weight trining, and also cardio and aerobics, hit the GYM!

You have a few years to worry about it. Relax and enjoy your youth it will be gone soon enough.

Plan on doing at least 50 Push ups in 2 minutes
and then 50 sit ups in 2 minutes.

And run 2 miles in under 15 minutes.

That will give you a good heads up for everything else.
