This week's survey:
'If the Government were to offer you $5,000 to keep yourself fit and healthy would you be interested?'
WHAT'S FIT?
For the purposes of this survey the meaning of fitness is; within 12 months time you will be: -
|
1. |
... within 10% of your ideal percent body fat. For men this is less than 26% body fat and women less than 36% body fat.
You can get scales the measure your percent body fat from department stored, sports stores and chemists. They don’t cost all that much. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
... aerobically fit. To meet the standard you need to be able to run 35 laps of a course, 20m long - back and forth for 5 minutes. For regular folks 35 laps would be good, 40 better and 45 best. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
... strong enough to do 20 of each of these three exercises within 30 seconds.
¬ situps, knees up, feet held, hands on your ears.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
¬ pressups, men on the toes and women on the front of the thighs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
¬ Squats. Squat right down so your bottom is close to your heels. You may need a heel raise. |
 |
Here’s the question again.
If the Government were to offer you $5,000 to keep yourself fit and healthy would you be interested?
You won’t need to identify who you are.
In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned until July 31st when all will be revealed.
