Why did pharaohs run laps to prove they could still rule? Why were Spartan boys thrown into brutal warrior training at age 7? And how did we end up with presidential mile runs and the U.S. Army’s ever-changing fitness test?

In this episode of Crewzin to the Void, we dive deep into the wild, weird, and often painful world of fitness tests throughout history. From African lion hunts to Aboriginal walkabouts, from the Greek gymnasium to the modern-day ACFT, we break down how societies defined “fitness”—and what it really says about us.
