I’ve got to be honest. I didn’t finish week 3. School kept me busy, and I just didn’t commit. I only did 1 of the 3 workouts required for each of the challenges. That’s ok though, today starts a new week. Go WEEK 4!
I know you guys haven’t given up on me yet, right? We’re more than half way now, so you might as well stick it out. Who knows, you might just surprise yourself.
So how are things going for you? Did you get through week 3 alright? Any tips to help us with week 4? Any great or terrible experiences you want to share?
Leave a comment and let us know. Otherwise, good luck with week 4!

I’ll admit – I fell off the wagon last week, too.
I went to do the test at the end of Week 3, and found that I am still not to the point where I can even do one normal push-up. That discouraged me a bit, and I didn’t do any after that. I didn’t consciously give up, I just got distracted by other stuff.
Time to start trying again!

I am a 17 year old male and I am applying for an army rotc scholarship. My scores for the presidents fitness challenge are 31 sit-ups, 20 push-ups, and 6:44 mile. Are these scores good enough for a scholarship? I’m getting really nervous about this.

@Mojan I’m going to be honest with you. Your mile time is great, you probably won’t need improvement there. But your push-ups and sit-ups are a little weak. I’m going to guess, because of your mile time, that you are a lean athlete, almost to the point of being too thin.
Your best bet would be to start the push-up and sit-up challenge, because those numbers should be higher.
Right now I’m at about 55-60 push-ups and probably 120 sit-ups. But I haven’t been running much so I would imagine my mile time is in the 8 minute range.
You are in a good position, though, because push-ups and sit-ups are a lot easier to train than improving run times.
