Everyone is at different fitness levels. Whether you are just getting started or you are a gym rat it is good to see where you lie on pre fitness level so we can compare after the challenge. I wanted to find something the is comparable for everyone to do. I found this preassessment for fitness challenge from the presidents council of fitness. You may download it for your own personal reference. https://www.adultfitnesstest.org/resources/dataCollection.pdf
Make a post with your pre assessment and we will check back at 4 week levels til we reach the end of the challenge to see how much improvement you have made. If you find something you cannot do even with a modification do something comparable you would like to improve upon in the 8 weeks.




PART 1
RUN, JOG OR WALK ONE MILE. IF you are unable to do this distance than either walk as far as you can and record the time. However you want to do it, Treadmill, elliptical or bike as well as taking a walk or run around the neighborhood.

PART 2
PUSH UPS
THIS can be full pushups or modified pushups. Time yourself for one minute

PART 3
SITUPS
THIS can be full situps or v situps(half situps)

PART 4
PLANKS. I honestly hate these things but they do test your strength. SKIP if unable to do, this is not a big deal if you can't do these as a full plank , you may do these as a modified plank or skip if too difficult. Hold plank as long as you possible.




I am adding here that this is your challenge so if you want to add more GO FOR IT!! I wanted something that no matter age, bad knees or your fitness level you could do but if you wanted to add burpees pullups or anything please go ahead.
We will have a spreadsheet made up for you but til then post your results here or put away in your computer,phone or device til we start. You can do this now or prior to the start of the challenge. We will check back on , AT WEEK 4 AND THE END OF THE CHALLENGE to compare your progress. Take pics, take measurements too for your eyes only so you can see your results because it is not always about that number on the scale
WE WILL HAVE A SPREADSHEET FOR YOU FOR THE FITNESS TEST AS WELL AS A WEIGHIN AND MEASUREMENT CHART
