It's not that big a deal LOL. Just remember to breath.

You walk in a room and someone sits you down and takes your blood pressure and heart rate. Then they have you step up on a box and step down for about a minute, then takes your heart rate again. Then they have you kinda like duck-walk under a platform, simulating going under a trailer, you do this twice. Then they have you step up on the platform simulating stepping up into a trailer, you do this twice also. Then a few more physical tests, like grab a bag and lift it above your head. Carry a basket of weights across the room, then they put more weight and you do it again. I did something else with a basket of weight, I can't remember exactly, maybe just hold it or do some squats with it. Um... oh, squats (no weights) for about a minute, and then a pull-test where you grab ahold of this bar with some rope attached and you pull as hard as you can and you have to be able to pull a certain amount of weight. And after each exercise they take your heart rate and then you have about a minute to rest. It's not very hard, but if you want to prepare for it now you can do some squats and push ups -
There was one guy in our class that did not pass but he was morbidly obese, I'm talking take-up-2-seats-cant-hardly-walk kind of obese (poor guy). I think he couldn't get up on the trailer. There were other older overweight fellas in the class that passed tho.
