I've been doing some research this morning. I would like to be able to achieve Army standards for physical preparedness and weight. I've been looking up the numbers so that I can begin setting goals. You know, check where I fall now on the "scale" and make plans on how to improve those scores.
According to the Army for my heigh (5'2") my "ideal" weight is 115.5 lbs.
The P.T. Standards for females between the ages of 42-56 is as follows:
2 mile run
100%-17:24 / 90% 18:54 / 80% 20:30 / 70% 22:06
Sit Ups (to be done in 2 minutes) 100% 72 / 90% 62 /80% 52 / 70% 42
Push ups (to be done in 2 minutes) 100% 37 / 90% 31 / 80% 25 / 70% 18
I need to double check on the time allotment for the sit ups and push ups, but I think two minutes was the standard. So I think I have my work cut out for me.
