World War II Fitness Assessment Chart


Found this really interesting old school "fitness assessment chart" by the US Military during the World War II era to decide if you are fit enough to join the army... 





The test pays a lot of attention to "functional exercises" and as far as I see it, it's pretty hardcore... enjoy.

  1. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog
    post or vice-versa? My website addresses a lot of the same topics
    as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look
    forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!

  2. An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you need to write more about this topic, it might not be
    a taboo subject but usually people do not speak about such subjects.
    To the next! Many thanks!!

  4. I'm really loving the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog audience have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?
