New adult fitness test from President's Council

Feeling nostalgic for your old P.E. class? Want to know exactly how fit you are? The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports isn't just for kids and teens any more. They've got a new test for adults to measure their own fitness level, including strength, cardiovascular fitness, and flexibility.

Far from being just a fun little trip down memory lane, the test will give you a number of results that you can then plug into the Council's website. There, you can get ideas for how to improve you overall fitness level, or just use the figures as a benchmark to measure improvement.

Setting goals for yourself is excellent motivation when starting a new fitness routine. Knowing your numbers, such as the ones you might gather in this test, will give you more information to track as you build a healthier, more active lifestyle.
