Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Tristan Kyle Labuguen, the assistant command fitness leader for Navy Region Hawaii explains the importance of the Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT), which is conducted twice per year for all active-duty and reserve Sailors as well as recruits at boot camp. The PRT includes pushups, the forearm plank and a 1.5-mile timed run. The alternate cardio options to the 1.5-mile outdoor run/walk include the following: a timed 500-yard swim, a 12-minute stationary cycle or a 1.5-mile run/walk on a treadmill. PRT evaluates Sailors' upper body strength, core strength and cardiovascular endurance, ensuring that Sailors maintain peak physical capacity and are mission-ready. Commander, Navy Region Hawaii oversees the shore-based operations, quality of life programs, and environmental stewardship in support of the United States Navy's mission in the Pacific.
