West Babylon Senior High School students put their fitness skills to the test as they participated in the Army Fitness Challenge on Nov. 12. During their physical education classes, students were divided into groups and went head-to-head against their classmates – as well as other school districts – to see if they had what it takes to be Army strong.

Local Army soldiers took over the physical education classes as part of the challenge. Students rotated through various stations where they also learned about living a healthy lifestyle and the importance of being active. The four stations – buddy carry, modified sprint/weighted carry relay, cross functional fitness relay and Hex bar lifts/teambuilding – challenged their physical strength but encouraged students to work together.

Additionally, the West Babylon classes will have their times at each station compared with other schools in the area to potentially earn the title of the Army’s Certified Fittest School.
