The test will highlight your current fitness level and determine where to start and how to plan your sit-ups training program.
initial test: the road to two hundred sit ups
AGE UNDER 30 YEARS 30 - 39 YEARS 40 AND OVER
RANK * number of sit-ups performed
EXCELLENT over 76 over 71 over 62
VERY GOOD 59 - 76 52 - 71 47 - 61
GOOD 50 - 58 46 - 51 37 - 46
AVERAGE 40 - 49 38 - 45 25 - 36
POOR 0 - 39 0 - 37 0 - 24
To perform the test, simply execute as many good-form sit-ups as you can. Don't cut corners and please don't cheat - the last thing you want to do is end up in the wrong level of the training program! The results may be humbling, but trust me, honesty is the best policy if you want to maximize your core strength gains!
Once you've performed the test, make a note (mental or otherwise) of how many, or how few, sit-ups you were able to perform. As an example, the first time I performed the test, I managed to eek out 60 consecutive sit-ups.
Before starting Week 1, I recommend taking a couple of days to familiarize yourself with the program and recover from the exertion of the initial test. You'll be required to work out three times per week
