Do we have to get a doctor's certificate to participate in the Challenge?
It depends if you have any contraindications (e.g., recent surgery, high blood pressure, pregnancy, etc.) that may inhibit you from completing the assessment. The assessment includes height, weight, blood pressure, girth measurements (waist & hip), trunk flexibility, push-ups and sit-ups. If you decide to seek the assistance of a personal trainer or go to a fitness centre, they may recommend you to get medical clearance before taking part in any fitness activity programs. This is standard protocol.

I am interested in this, but am not sure if I would have the available time to undertake it. What time would be involved for this?
The time involved is up to you. The only requirement we need time-wise is about 1/2 - 1 hour for the pre- appraisal and then again for the post appraisal. Depending on what the results are from your appraisal and how motivated you are to decrease your fitness age will factor in to how much time you want to give to your own health benefits.
