Fitness Assessment: Fill & Download for Free

Hi Laura:Let’s talk about this - using myself as an example.I am sixty-four, started weight training many years ago doing the baby steps first. I began training using a small amount of weight, controlled training sessions, and gradually made progress. That is a safe approach, you can do the same. Using this method, I quickly determined my limitations and began working on my weak spots. I had many weak areas to strengthen. For example, my knees, lower back, the entire posterior side needed help.Ten years later, currently, I train/qualify as if I am thirty years younger, agiler, even though I am approaching sixty-five. I am now experienced and knowing what to avoid and have a good sense of my adaptation and tolerance of “weights.” I don’t cross the line and never do foolish stuff. Perhaps you can use the same strategy. That brings us to the next topic — Fitness Assessment.Fitness Assessment is critical -identify your weaknesses.The best way to address such an important question is to work with a strength coach to determine the list of exercises YOU should avoid for now and aid in developing a personalized program. In time, you can do all sorts of athletic stuff as you get stronger.Thank You.Pic: My garage gym at home.Edit: I was 64 when i answered the question. I am now sixty-five.

You’re unlikely to get back in, sorry to be harsh. You have an Entry Level Separation (ELS), which is officially un-characterized but you’re trying to convince someone to give you a second chance when there is an army (pardon the pun) of people willing to join who don’t have that black mark on their record.You were given an RE-3F because you failed the physical fitness assessment. You’ll likely need a significant period of time (1+ years) to demonstrate that you’re capable of joining again and will probably need to prove to a recruiter that you already meet the physical fitness standard before they’ll even start on your paperwork.Edit: I should say, if the recruiting environment changes dramatically (e.g. a new war begins) then things might change, but right now we’re in a recession with tens of millions of people unemployed. The services are not hurting for people.Good luck.

Long before M S Dhoni's swag and fitness assessment for cricketers, there was this man..No, not Paul Collingwood. I'm talking about Ramesh Powar.One of the most fearless cricketer to ever stroll on 22 yards pitchJust like his famous colourful sunglasses, Powar had briefly donned national colours in the early and mid 2000’s, playing 2 Tests and 31 ODIs.Sadly, he was one of the few victims of body shaming in cricket history.We often forget that healthy looks different on everybodyHe was dropped off the team during India vs Australia series, October 2007.But nothing could bring him down, Powar kept on playing domestic cricket till 2015.When the going gets tough, the tough get going.Speaking on his fitness"I've never thought that being fat was a negative point. Why can't people realise that my extra strength is because of that? If I lose weight, I don't know what will happen - it may be good, it may be bad. I will work on my agility and if I lose weight and bowl well, it will be great. But I don't want to lose weight for the sake of it, to look like a model. I am not a Mohammad Kaif or a Jonty Rhodes. And neither of them bowl offspin. I have been fit enough to play for a competitive side like Bombay for six to seven years. I've never missed a game owing to fitness problems. I've played 10 ODIs and I have never felt that I was too tired or unfit to play at this level."[1][1][1][1]6,00,00,000 people play cricket in India but only 239 played ODI for India i.e. 1 in 2,50,000. If you consider the whole Nation the stat is 1 in 5 million!Ramesh Powar wasn't just another fat guy playing cricket, he was a brilliant off spinner who wore the blue Jersey and that's tough to get.Salute to all those underdogs of Indian cricket.***Peace****Footnotes[1] 'I have never missed a match because of lack of fitness'[1] 'I have never missed a match because of lack of fitness'[1] 'I have never missed a match because of lack of fitness'[1] 'I have never missed a match because of lack of fitness'
