    Not so much can't as don't see the point. A fitness test should be about more than who can do some arbitrary from of torture for some arbitrary amount of time:

    one..

    Keeping trying for 2 then!

    No, I am only interested in doing one.. :)

    Wat do u do for the other 2 mins 55secs?

    Lift heavy things!

    Too easy! :D

    What are you talking about?

    lifting heavy things... is further up in the thread..

    I know. I was hoping he would elaborate why lifting heavy things is too easy.

    Lifting is easy its all about the your recovery and how quick u can recover so this fitness test will tell you where u are!

    I really don't think you understand how fitness works. There's more to it than cardio endurance. In fact not even cardio endurance but single movement cardio endurance.

    The only thing it tells you is how many sloppy burpees you can do. And lifting isn't "easy". It is way more technical than burpees.

    I think I might be able to do 1/2 of 1...but may need help getting up after it. LoL I've watched them done correctly and wow yall that can do those and correctly amaze me. And those I've seen so them incorrectly scare me.

    Maybe he's on the school run, or needs to trim his nasal hair or something so he can't possibly spare 3 whole minutes....

    So
    Squat
    Jump feet back
    Full to ground push up
    Squat
    Straight up jump
    And repeat

    And you're telling me people can do that in 2 seconds perfectly over and over again

    Hmmm

    3 whole minutes... NOT for me. I try to do 3 sets of 10 and they are ugly.... FORM is important people. A great challenge, but don't kill yourself doing something sloppy for a record.

    Its a fitness test!

    I'm going to be a nudge... what is it testing other than your ability to do burpees?
