    It depends on where you live and what doctor you go to. He or she will probably check your heart, lungs, tummy, they may have you check your eyesight, sometimes you have to do some stretches and excersises to see how your muscle strength is. They will ask you some questions about your health and if you have any weird symptoms. It's pretty basic... don't worry you won't have to be undressed and the nurse will probably be in the room the whole time. It's pretty standard... if you're nervous they will let your mom come in too.

    Well you will get an adult physical, meaning it isn't going to be just the pee in a cup deal. You will have your breasts checked for any abnormal spots or lumps. They will do an internal check. You will lay on a table and the doctor will insert a metal device into you and spread it out so they can see inside. This will hurt a little but don't tense up or it'll hurt worse. The doctor will even feel inside to feel for abnormal lumps and so on. You will then need to continue this physical once a year for now on. I myself had this kind of physical starting in 7th grade but it was required with my insurance. Be brave and tough it out. It is the "JOY" of being female.

    The doctors who do the physical are very respectful.

    They know how embarrassing the exam is for young ladies.

    I would suggest that you find a lady doctor or a lady physician's assistant or a lady nurse practitioner.

    The PA and the NP are qualified to do sports physicals.

    You can then register for 3k run, long jump, and even sign up for the other physical spots like softball. Its all good for your cardio and physicla attributes elsewhere.

    I have done had mine and it is a breeze. You can expect them to check you heighth, your weight, your eye sight, your flexibility, you blood pressure, and a little bit more, but I can't think of what they are right off the top of my head.

    GOOD LUCK!!!!

    When I went the doctor stuck two fingers in my vagina and opened it up and yelled hello in there and waited for his echo lol, no I'm totally kidding, they just take your weight your height your blood pressure and ask you about your medical history and any recent problems, it's pretty cut and dry, nothing to be worried about at all.
