Fitness Test

Ok tomorrows beginning will be the Fitness Test. Note from the writer:Please be sure to take 1 day off between the FT and the 1st day of your exercise challenge.                                                             

  Fitness Challenge:       

1: Cardio Fitness
walk, run or jog 1/2 mile (or whatever you can manage) Record your time.

2: Upper Body Strength: 
* Push Ups - you can do them on your knees if need be. Count how many you can do in a minute and record

 * Tricep Dips - I will try to find a video for this as I'm not sure how to do them right

3: Lower Body Strength:
* Wall Sits - Stand with your back to the wall and walk your legs out til you're 'sitting' against the wall. Hold as long as you can, record your time

4: Abdominal/Core Strength:
* Sit Ups - there are a few different ones but I do with my hands folded against my chest. Record how many in a minute (note from me, don't rush them or you'll be Very sore)

5: Flexibility:
* Sit & Reach - Sit on the ground with your legs straight in front of you and stretch as far as you can (don't tear anything) =)
Have someone measure from the tip of your toes to your fingertips (you will notice a Vast improvement everyday when you do these regularly) =)

And now we are ready to start. =)
