The Hits Just Keep On Coming!

Not only were YSS16's grades abysmal,  his fitness test also came in the mail.   The sad thing is it was taken in September right after school started...usually kids are at their fittest right after summer vacation.  After a summer of running around, errr I mean SCREENS and junk food,  he has a 39 percent body fat reading, failed to do situps, arm hang, etc etc.  Managed to do two pushups before exhaustion...6'2" 240 lbs of solid flab. 

There's no way he could go into the military with those horrible grades and complete lack of fitness. 

I'm almost 60, post menopausal and can do many more "real" pushups than YSS who should be at the peak of physical prowess. 

Sad.

I'll admit that I am out of shape and can't do real push ups but I am working on that.  However, that is terrible for a 16 year old boy.  Wow!
