Navy PFT: 40-44


Interesting fitness stuff here for guys my age. I wrote about this before. Since the Navy has a Physical Fitness Test (PFT) indexed for age, the standard for graduating from boot camp might be a good minimum goal for fitness. For the next 4 years, this would mean an average score of 60, or the following:
  • 44 sit ups
  • 34 push ups
  • 1.5 mile run in 14:45 or better
I re-checked my mile today, and it's 9 minutes (did it an 8:20 back in the Fall). It might be interesting to actually score myself on these and track them.

So I think a lifetime goal might be something simple such as: a BMI of 25 or lower and the ability to pass the Navy PFT for my age group.
