Once upon a time, Americans did the Presidential Physical Fitness Test. Here in Canada, we did the very similar Canada Fitness Test. Experiences varied. Here, badges, in descending order, went from Excellence, to gold, silver, bronze, and then... finally a "Participant" sticker — something that put a lot of people off of fitness. It was a well-intentioned effort but often let down the kids who would have benefited most from greater physical literacy. Danielle Friedman — one of my favourite fitness journalists — wrote about the test of the NYT (linked here). I'm adding my own thoughts below. * Testing is not training. So, if a test is going to be fun or informative, great. However, if it's going to have an negative impact on someone's self-esteem or exercise experience, caveat tester. You've got to give people a fair shake. * I like the idea of being able to cover a mile in a decent time. However, a fast walk/roll is a great place to start — however long that takes. * Likewise, I like the idea of being able to rapidly decelerate and change direction fluidly. Especially recreational athletes. However, this takes lots of development time and asking people to max out on it out of the blue sounds like an injury factory. Low fatigue, quality movement, and manageable velocities are key. * Pull-ups are not a universally-accessible thing. However, inverted rows are far more inclusive and — done right — build beautifully in that direction. * Push-ups are absolutely worth working toward. However, bodies vary and heavier folks may perform better with dumbbell or barbell presses paired with planks. You can work on qualities independently before bringing them together. For others, it makes sense to starts with holding the top position... And maybe allowing for a little bit of play in the elbows. I also like inclined push-ups. If they're too easy, lots of reps will take care of that. One minute a good baseline for a plank, so one minute of "easier" reps is a good, spicy goal. I find myself repeating Arthur Ashe's advice a lot — probably because it's so good. Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

My latest for @nyt_well! I have SUCH vivid memories of taking this test in elementary school. And I’ll be honest — I think I’m still working through the feeling that I’m somehow not an athlete because I couldn’t do a pull-up. If you relate, consider this piece an opportunity to rewrite history. 😏🏅 https://lnkd.in/g7zhAUGv
