If you didn't get a presidential physical fitness award in school, the government is giving you another chance to prove you're in shape.

An adult version of the test is being introduced Wednesday by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

It's for people over 18 and in good health.

Aerobic fitness, muscular strength and flexibility are all tested.

It was inspired by scores of baby boomers who kept asking council members whether there was a fitness test available that was similar to the ones they took as students.

Unfortunately, there's no certificate. But the results will then show where you rank among people of the same age.
