I attempted my Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) today. I failed marginally. This is a great wake up call that my fitness level is not up to par. For fit Singaporean sons, this is either an annual national service liability to attempt and pass it or rather an opportunity to reap some monetary rewards from acing it. Nothing to feel ashamed of for a mid 30s young uncle whose legs have been used to shaking while sitting on chair during WFH instead of running on the ground. I am able to do some standard push-ups and sit-ups slowly but have no stamina to sustain the 2.4km run. I still manage to complete the run though. I feel like a turtle on the track while running with young men at least a decade younger. Below are my results.
Nevertheless, I should still receive some NS allowance as a consolation...
