The Canadian Armed Forces has thrown out dated fitness testing in favor of real-world tasks. Sit-ups tossed out.

The Toronto Star published a story recently (January 20th, 2016) with the headline, “The Death of the Sit Up”.  The article immediately popped up on my social media feeds because one of the consultants mentioned in the article is Stuart McGill, PhD.  Dr. McGill is a professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo.
