PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
An Army National Guard representative can present Guard Fit Challenge to up to 40 students with an educator in attendance. There are minimal equipment requirements, and the program can be done indoors or outdoors (weather permitting).
The program can be presented during a physical education class or team practice; there are 45-minute and 90-minute versions of the lessons, depending on how much time you have.
After a presentation on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), the Army National Guard representative can return to present a full-body workout (core, upper body, and lower body) and a cardio workout. During both of the follow-on lessons, the presenter can measure students’ progress on the APFT.
The curriculum was developed with high school and college students in mind.
