The SFB StrongFirst Bodyweight Instructor Certification prepares you to teach bodyweight exercises safely and effectively, adhering to strict standards. To pass the strength test, women over 50 must perform a one-arm pushup (OAPU) from an elevation of 6-8 inches. Men over 50 and women under 50 must perform a one-arm pushup.| StrongFirst
