Mark 50 Meters, or 164 feet, on the sidewalk, grass or go to a local park with a track. If you do not have a measuring tape, measure the distance by taking 60 large steps. With your snowshoes on record the time it takes to run 50M.
Mark 100 Meters, 328 feet, on the sidewalk, grass or go to a local park with a track. If you do not have a measuring tape, measure the distance by taking 120 large steps. With your snowshoes on record the time it takes to run 100M.
Unified will be a combined time of the Athlete and Unified Partners time, meaning you will add the two times together and submit a total time (if the Unified partner and athlete submit two different times, we will take the average time of the two and add together).
Mark 25 Meters, or 82 feet, on the sidewalk, grass or go to a local park with a track. If you do not have a measuring tape, measure the distance by taking 30 large steps. With your snowshoes on, record the time it takes to run/walk 25M.

Lay a jump rope on the floor or find a line to jump over. Quickly jump from side to side over the rope, landing each time with your feet about hip-width apart. Record how many jumps you can do in one minute. Each jump is counted as one: if you go from left to right that is one, then back to left is two, and so on.
Place your feet at shoulder-width or just outside of shoulder-width. Turn your toes out slightly. Brace your core and keep your chest up. Swing your arms up to shoulder level as you slowly bend your knees and push your hips backward. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel with the ground. Pause and stay in this position for as long as you can. Submit your time for how long you can hold the squat position.
Start with your feet at hip width and knees slightly bent. Push off your right foot to hop to your left, landing gently. Lower onto your left heel, allowing your knee to bend into a partial single-leg squat. Bring your right foot behind your left ankle. Push quickly off your left foot to hop back to your right. Alternate sides for two minutes. Count the number of reps you complete for the duration of the two minutes.
Stand with feet together, bend at the knees and extend up to hop off the ground. Return to starting position. Count the total number of bunny hops you can do in one minute.
Record the number of push-ups you can do in a row for a minute. In order to perform a legal push-up, the athlete must lower his/her head and upper body to the floor, touch the chest to the floor, and return to the starting positions (arms extended straight at the top of the pushup). The athlete’s back must remain straight. Score is the total number of push-ups you can do in one minute without stopping. For Unified, have each participant record their score, then submit your total team score.
Record the number of sit-ups you can do in two minutes. The athlete starts in supine (back flat on the floor) position with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Athlete keeps arms folded across his/her chest with hands grasping opposite shoulders. To perform a complete sit-up, an athlete must touch one of his/her elbows to the thighs or knees. Full sit up is necessary for it to count. Score is the total number of full sit-ups you do in two minutes. For Unified, have each participant record their score, then submit your total team score.
