repetition consists of raising your upper body from the starting position
until both forearms or elbows simultaneously touch the thighs,
and then returning to the starting position with the shoulder blades
touching the ground. Your butt must remain in constant contact with
the ground.
You can have a buddy hold your legs or feet, at or below the knees.
If you don’t have a buddy, place your feet under a couch or some other
sturdy object.
3. 3-Mile Run. Mark out a 3-mile course. One way of doing this is to
reset your car’s trip odometer and drive a flat course in your neighborhood
to mark out the 3 miles. Another idea is to go to a high school
or college track. It’s flat, clear of any obstacles, and it’s measured out
for you. Four times around the track is one mile. So for three miles,
you’ll have to run around it twelve times.
Time yourself with a stopwatch to see how fast you can run three
miles. Run as fast as you can.
Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test Scoring
Each Marine is given a numeric score based on his performance in each
event. Based on the total points of the three events, a Marine will be assigned
to a physical fitness test class – first class being the highest and third class
being the lowest. In order to get the highest possible score on the test you’d
have to perform 20 pull-ups, do 100 crunches in 2 minutes, and run 3 miles
in 18 minutes. Below are a series of charts that shows how scoring and class
are determined:
Points Pull-Ups Crunches 3-Mile Run
100 20 100 18:00
99 99 18:10
98 98 18:20
97 97 18:30
96 96 18:40
