That's Fit

If you wanted to be an Average Joe, you probably wouldn't be reading this website. Instead, you'd be sitting on your couch and watching reruns of "Cagney & Lacey." "Remington Steele," perhaps. Anyway, the point is that you're probably not watching either of those shows, because you, my friend, absolutely loathe the mere idea of being classified as average. And it is that loathing, and possibly that fear of mediocrity that keeps you reading websites like That'sf Fit.

Be that all as it may, however, the possibility still exists that you may be -- dare I say it -- average. Or, even worse, somewhat less than average.

The only way to truly find out is to put yourself to the test. The following is a list of traits, compiled from a variety of data sources (including the U.S. Census Bureau), that offers some known statistics for the average man -- age: 34 years old, weight: 175lbs and height: 5'9 1/2. See how you measure up.

THE AVERAGE GUY CAN:
- Do 27 push-ups in one minute
- Run 1.5 miles in 12:51
- Complete 36 sit-ups in one minute
- Bench Press 158 pounds one time
- Throw a football 50 yards
