I couldn't agree more. The amount of space needed to do push ups, jump rope, shadow box and stretch is minimal. And don't count out stair climbing in a two story house or apartment building. 15 minutes of that can be done in the worst weather and is a great workout.

Amen. Similar to jogging in place, I can practice my Tae Kwon Do forms in the corner of a hotel room, during my lunch break at the office, even in the handicapped stall at the airport restroom. Sounds funny, but it's true.

I agree. during my free lesson time I go for a run. Once a day, everyday. As I cant afford the gym (£30-£50 a month in the uk!) I bought a pair of weights. my work out regime is using these every third day. Not only improves this my physique but also works as a confidence booster and get (even) more attention from the females <img src="images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Go out there and enjoy!

How are you mean't to read the charts?
What are "Reps"?
Excuse my ignorance, I just can't see what relation the numbers have to age or push-ups.

You need 60 points in each criteria, push ups, sit ups, run, as a minimum to pass.

Still doesn't explain what the numbers mean.
In addition to my previous question, what makes up a point? Are points "Reps"?
If I'm a 32 year old male, what does "75" and "100" signify?

The reps, down the left, are the actual numbers of push ups you do. So if you do 50 push ups, and are 32 years old and male, you get 74 points.

Enough said.. means very little to anyone outside the army!
Can anyone post any meaningful stats or an answer?
This would make more sense:
