What's
YOUR Fitness Level?
By Greg
Landry (Sincere thanks to Greg for letting me reprint this
article here!)
Here's a quick and easy way
to estimate your fitness level. This was developed by Kasari
and is gives you a fitness score that is indicative of
aerobic fitness.
Calculate your fitness
score by multiplying your score for each category (score =
intensity x duration x frequency). For example if you walked
at a moderately heavy intensity for 40 minutes, five days
per week, you would multiply 3 x 4 x 4. Your fitness score
would be 48 and your fitness level would be
"fair."
SCORE ACTIVITY
Intensity
5 Sustained heavy breathing
and perspiration
4 Intermittent heavy breathing
and perspiration
3 Moderately heavy
2 Moderate
1 Light (slow, easy walking)
Duration
4 Over 30 minutes
3 20 to 30 minutes
2 10 to 20 minutes
1 Under 10 minutes
Frequency
5 Daily or almost daily
4 3 to 5 times per week
3 1 to 2 times per week
2 A few times per month
1 Less than once per month
SCORE FITNESS LEVEL
80 to 100 High
60 to 79 Very good
40 to 59 Fair
20 to 39 Poor
Under 20 Very Poor
If your score is where you'd
like it to be, great, keep up the good work. If your fitness
level is not where you'd like it to be, get movin'!
