Answer 1

For muscular Strength and Endurance, I am able to perform 12 bicep curls with a 10-pound weight, 10 push-ups, and 20 sit-ups without taking a break. I typically experience muscle fatigue after about 30 minutes of continuous exercise.

I found the Cooper 1.5 Mile Test to be challenging, but I was able to complete it within 13 minutes. I felt my heart rate increase significantly throughout the test, and I was breathing heavily by the end. I am pleased with my score, as it indicates a fair level of aerobic fitness.

I am able to touch my toes with my fingertips without bending my knees. I can also perform a basic forward roll and backward roll. I am generally flexible, but I could improve my hip and hamstring flexibility.
