Yearly Affair

Ethan woke up groaning a few mornings back. He had just completed his first ever NAPFA (National Physical Fitness Award) test the day before. He can't laugh cos his tummy hurt from doing the sit-ups. He can't go up and down the steps cos his legs ache from the 1.6km run, lol. This unsympathetic mama told him to get used to it. Afterall, he has to do it yearly till he is 40????

To bring back memories for my girl pals, NAPFA test consists of:

1. Sit-ups: Maximum in one minute
2. Standing Broad Jump: Better of two distances
3. Sit and Reach: Better of two attempts with floating zero point
4. Pull-ups (for males 15 years and above only): Maximum in half-a-minute
5. Inclined Pull-ups (for all females, and males up to the age of 14): Maximum in half-a-minute
6. Shuttle Run: Faster of two 4×10 metre attempts
7. 2.4-km/1.6-km Walk-Run: Minimum time on firm and level surface

Thank goodness, we are spared, lol
