throttles Posted January 21, 2020 Share I think if you get the 16 Active dayz for the last 6 months you don't need the fitness assessment. There always used to be a rule like that. I haven't been for a fitness assessment for 4 years because of this. Apologies, i said 3 previously but meant 4 active days per week. Average of 16 per month.. that's 4 active days per week..

Long Wheel Base Posted January 21, 2020 Share Apologies, i said 3 previously but meant 4 active days per week. Average of 16 per month.. that's 4 active days per week..Yeah, for me that is pretty easy. My wife used to struggle to get 10k per day when she was working. Now she is a stay at home Mom she does 10k most days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedToWin Posted January 21, 2020 Share The wife often records between 12 and 16 days, so thought it would be a good way to take the stress out of monitoring the situation. Would also be nice for me to "insure" against an injured month or two.Ons raak nie jonger nie... Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLucas Posted January 21, 2020 Share You need to be relatively fit and have decent core strength.. there are pushups etc that need to be done.. but not all that hard if you are active They seem to change this every year... are they whipping out the calipers to measure body fat this time around?

Gen Posted January 21, 2020 Share They seem to change this every year... are they whipping out the calipers to measure body fat this time around? Yeah they do that too..sigh. At least it is now valid for a year and not 6 months like before. Edited January 21, 2020 by Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popit Posted January 21, 2020 Share They seem to change this every year... are they whipping out the calipers to measure body fat this time around? RLucas , no they are not .I did my Health assessment last week .Had to do as many push-ups in 1 min as possible (26 for a skinny roadie ) , then they calculate the step height according to height and I had to do 6min34 on a step of 38cm high .You wear a HR strap and at the end of my 6 min , they look at your resting heart rate after 1 min post steps (if that makes sense ) .You also do the grip strength test ... no idea why .It is a lot tougher than previous tests , presuming push-ups and step ups is not your thing .

Last few years I have got 1500 by July/Aug so haven't needed to spend any extra money. Will still do my health assessment soon, Momentum come to my work and do them here so I don't even need to go on my own time. Then I will meet with my buddy for my annual financial advice talk of 15min and then 2 hours nonsense talk. All "free" points luckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky4130 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Level 5 will affect your discount you receive on your monthly gym fee, No? I did the Fitness assessment Test late December 2019 & achieved a 5. All i remember them testing was Hamstring Flexibility & Shoulder Flexibility. Height, Weight Waist measurements & the Step Test to see how quickly your Hear Rate Recovers.
