Nope..even oldsters have to do the same agility. I've never heard of a man who did not pass but, quite a few women have not.

130 lbs caring up stairs huh? I need to get in shape I guess. Geeeez. What else? So I can prepare this old body.

KC, it's pretty simple, really. I'm 5'0" and today 110 lbs, had a small amount of trouble when I was testing coming off a back injury, but, then, while I was out I wasn't allowed to lift more than 10 lbs. If you haven't done it yet, don't worry, if I can, you can!

I am also coming off a back injury is why I am asking. B)
 
Nah, if you're in not dead shape, the stairs won't be difficult. 15 inch steps for 3 minutes, rest, check heart rate...touch your toes a few times, stand from a squat position, lift positons and lift/carry. Piece o'cake! 15 inch steps were challenging for me to a point but then again...I'm old AND short!

<---Old here too. lol. Geez I couldn't even touch my toes in high school. I was a bean poll too! I think I was 160/6'3

Sounds like I'll hit the track and get into shape.
 
The toe touching was to see if I could stand back up ...it's a back thing, not flexibility.
