throttles Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 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 Posted January 21, 2020 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.
bleedToWin Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 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

RLucas Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 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 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) 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

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.

Do the ladies do modified push-ups?
milky4130 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 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. Long Wheel Base 1
Christie Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 ☝️ Momentum dropped the push-ups and sit-ups a yearor 2 ago. The did a skin fold test for fat measurement when I went last.
