You need a composite of at least 75 points and no single component below its minimum. The cardio event carries the most weight at 50 points.
By waist-to-height ratio, worth up to 20 points. A ratio of 0.49 or lower earns the full 20; the score decreases as the ratio rises.
The two-mile run or the 20-meter High Aerobic Multi-shuttle Run (HAMR). The 2-kilometer walk is an alternative that is not point-scored in the current charts.
Strength is push-ups or hand-release push-ups; core is sit-ups, the cross-leg reverse crunch, or a forearm plank. Each is worth 15 points.
