What shape are you in?

You might want to know what shape you are in before you’re body sends up an alarm.

I thought I was in great shape. Then my friends started having heart attacks. I wrote this app for my friends so they could see what shape their shape was in.

How surprised I was to find out I wasn’t in the shape I thought I was.

You don’t have to buy any special equipment to take the Fit Test.

FEATURES:
- Check your BMI and Body Fat
- Find your aerobic fitness, with a 1.5 mile run and the Rockport walk test
- Test your strength with pushups and situps
- Find your flexibility by reaching for your toes
- Email test results to yourself or a client.
- Tips to help get you fit again
- Easy to use, no special equipment is needed

TESTS:

BMI
Body Mass Index has been used since the 1980s, BMI greatly improved weight information over standard height and weight tables.

Body Fat
Because BMI alone can’t tell if you are carrying muscle or fat on your frame. The YMCA and Navy body fat tests are 97% accurate for most people.

1.5 Mile Run Test
Because you should be able to run far enough fast enough to save your life. 1.5 to 2 mile runs are the preferred way to test aerobic fitness.

Rockport Fitness Test
Used by cardiologists to measure heart fitness and the effect of your aerobic routine on your heart’s fitness. Watch your workouts improve your VO2max.

Pushups and Situps Strength Test
Used by every military force to test overall strength fitness. Measure your core and upper body strength.

Modified Reach Test
Used since the 1950s to test flexibility. Good flexibility reduces injuries and improves mobility.

The best fountain of health and youth is exercise. Live long and prosper by getting your shape in shape.
