Preparing for the Fitness Test On
July 28, the U.S.S.F. State Referee test will be administered at 6:30 a.m. at the Walter
M. Williams track in Burlington.+ Although the requirements are not stringent as in
the past, this is something for which you prepare. Hopefully, the information below will
help you to get ready. If you are just starting a fitness program, the best and most
effective way to start is through walking. Continuous walking will slowly prepare your
legs for more strenuous activity and help you develop a consistent daily routine. Once you
have mastered walking, start to mix running in intervals.Work your way up so that you are
running 12 min. continuously.Use the chart below to monitor your progress.
