    …requiring 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and running one-and-a-half miles in 14 minutes…

    That’s a stupidly easy test. I’m a programmer, gamer, and I have a bad back, and I can easily do that.

        A mile and a half and 14 minutes is a tiny bit faster than a brisk walk. If someone has trouble handling that pace for 14 minutes then they really should not be anywhere near a law enforcement job that requires them to be on their feet.

      Just to confirm…

      Is it all that’s listed in 14 minutes. So, the push-ups, sit-ups and the running?

      Not just running almost a kilometre in 14 minutes?
