Today we will do a modified version of the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) to see how you measure up!   The Army standard is to do the maximum number of push-ups in 2 minutes, followed by maximum number of sit-ups in 2 minutes (feet anchored, with your hands laced behind your head), and you finish up with a 2 mile run for time.  In an effort to make it more like a CrossFit workout, we will break it up into rounds so you can maintain a higher level of intensity!

APFT - CrossFit style!

4 ROUNDS of the following:

Max reps of push-ups in 30 seconds (scale = knee push-ups)
Rest 30 seconds
Max reps of sit-ups in 30 seconds (scale = hands across chest instead of behind head)
Rest 30 seconds & write down number of reps for each exercise
Run 2 laps for time
Rest 30 seconds & write down run time

NOTE:  In total you will do 2 minutes of push-ups, 2 minutes of sit-ups, and run approximately 2 miles.

You can calculate what your score would have been on the APFT using the following link:  APFT Calculator
Obviously this isn't an official score since the real test is 2 minutes straight without rest of push-ups and sit-ups and 2 miles straight, but it gives you a good way to score your performance and see if you improve in the future!

Post total number of push-ups, sit-ups, and time for the run to comments.  Post your modified APFT score as well!
