Fitness test: Can you do these things?

Posted on Oct 2nd 2007 8:16PM by Martha Edwards
A while back, Bev asked if you could pass Dr. Oz's push-up test or not. Could you? I could -- but barely; I finished with badly shaking arms.

Here's another fitness test: According to this article from the Daily Mail, and this post from Bev, the majority of people in the UK can't do 20 sit-ups, cycle for 20 minutes or touch their toes while standing up. I can do all three fairly easily, and while I couldn't touch my toes before I took up yoga, 20 sit-ups and 20-minutes of cycling has never been a problem for me, even when I was quite out of shape. But enough about me -- I'm curious, what about you?

Can you do 20 sit-ups, cycle for 20 minutes and touch your toes?
Yes! I can do all three80 (68.4%)
I can do two out of three29 (24.8%)
I can do one of these activities4 (3.4%)
I can't do any of these4 (3.4%)
