If there\u2019s one word that can be used to describe the Army Combat Fitness Test, it\u2019s pervasive. For months, this controversial measure of soldier stamina has dominated conversations across the internet. Now, it has reached the final frontier: Space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Army Col. Drew Morgan, currently deployed to the International Space Station, decided to share his zero-gravity attempt at the recently updated fitness test, performing the deadlift, a two-mile run, hand-release pushups, standing power throw, and of course, everyone\u2019s favorite, the leg tucks, proving not even space can hide soldiers from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of the weightlessness, Morgan\u2019s ACFT inevitably looked a little different. For the run, he had to wear a suspenders that essentially resembled a chastity belt, which kept him from floating away from the treadmill. And with the pushups, he couldn\u2019t exactly release his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can do pushups without my hands,\u201d he joked as he let go and gave us the old jazz hands\u2019 razzle-dazzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We salute Morgan\u2019s out-of-this-world enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
