repetition consists of raising your upper body from the starting position<br />

until both forearms or elbows simultaneously touch the thighs,<br />

and then returning to the starting position with the shoulder blades<br />

touching the ground. Your butt must remain in constant contact with<br />

the ground.<br />

You can have a buddy hold your legs or feet, at or below the knees.<br />

If you don’t have a buddy, place your feet under a couch or some other<br />

sturdy object.<br />

3. 3-Mile Run. Mark out a 3-mile course. One way of doing this is to<br />

reset your car’s trip odometer and drive a flat course in your neighborhood<br />

to mark out the 3 miles. Another idea is to go to a high school<br />

or college track. It’s flat, clear of any obstacles, and it’s measured out<br />

for you. Four times around the track is one mile. So for three miles,<br />

you’ll have to run around it twelve times.<br />

Time yourself with a stopwatch to see how fast you can run three<br />

miles. Run as fast as you can.<br />

Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test Scoring<br />

Each Marine is given a numeric score based on his performance in each<br />

event. Based on the total points of the three events, a Marine will be assigned<br />

to a physical fitness test class – first class being the highest and third class<br />

being the lowest. In order to get the highest possible score on the test you’d<br />

have to perform 20 pull-ups, do 100 crunches in 2 minutes, and run 3 miles<br />

in 18 minutes. Below are a series of charts that shows how scoring and class<br />

are determined:<br />

Points Pull-Ups Crunches 3-Mile Run<br />
