Probably not. But that's ok! That's what we are here for. 2 out of 3 Americans are out of shape.

There are three keys to getting in shape, or becoming physically fit. According the The American Council on Exercise (ACE), a non profit organization that sets certification standards for over 40,000 fitness professionals nationwide, physical fitness is measured by three catergories: Muscular Strength, Cardiovascular Endurance and Flexibility. Below are some simple evaluations to help you find your fitness level.

The following charts are guidelines. Please consult a fitness professional to administer each evaluation.
As always, consult with your physician and read our Disclaimer before beginning or attempting any exercise program. A score of 'Above Average' or higher and you are considered to be 'In Shape'!
