• Utilizing the information later to chart your progress during your fitness program.
• Increasing the likelihood of continuation of a fitness program.

• Cardio respiratory fitness - administered with treadmill walking, running or bicycle tests
• Muscular strength assessment - administered with a push-up, crunch, and/or bench press test
