Practicing for the Presidential Physical Fitness Test. In order to be in the Presidential Award level a boy or girl ages 6-17 must be in the 85th percentile nationally in challenges such as the one-mile run, sit-ups, push-ups, planks, and pull-ups. Think it’s easy? It’s not. For a 10-year old boy to be a Presidential Award Winner he would need a 7:57 mile, 22 push-ups, and 45 sit-ups in one minute. For a 10-year old girl she’d need a 9:19 mile, 20 push-ups, and 40 sit-ups in one minute. Check back next week to find out if we have any Presidential Physical Fitness Test Award recipients!
