The Empowered
2 Minute Push Up Standards
For this portion you will be performing push ups. A push up can be defined as a an exercise in which a person lies facing the floor and, keeping their back straight, raises their body by pressing down on their hands. A full push up is lowering your body down to about four (4) inches off the ground as you're arms bend at a 45 degree angle and then fully extending your are to push yourself back up. The full push up counts as one (1). If you are in the up position for more than 3 seconds, the event is over, you must continuously drop down and extend back up. The ideal ground for push ups is a firm ground this being, hard grass lawn, wood floor or cool to room temperature asphalt.
​
*Remember to follow The Empowered Standards and Guidelines for each event. If you feel you can not begin or continue the event consider saving the Physical Fitness Evaluation for another day.
