So last night marks one week in my journey. So I decided that it was only fitting that I did the Fit Test again to see how I've improved in a week of working out daily!
So here you have it! The first 3 numbers are the first three times I've done the fit test - and then the last one is my 1 week test results:
Squat Jumps - 30 - 31 - 18 - 32
(woo! Increased that!)
Pushups - 26 (knees) - 28 knees - 24 knees - 31 (13 on toes, 18 on knees)
That's right - I did as many as I could do on my toes before dropping to my knees when my arms couldn't hold up - I love it!!
Burpees - 11 - 10 - 8 - 13
Yup, I still hate these - but I managed to hate 2 more than my best time this time around... I'm hoping the lighter I get, the easier these get!!!
High Knees - 66 - 100 - 80 - 109
Right until the timer beeped! I'm surprised, I wasn't expecting to improve on this score considering that if I did 100 in 50 seconds, that's 2 a second - but apparently I pushed a little harder and went a little "super speed" in there too!
Switch Lunges - 28 (16 jumping, 12 mod stepping out) - 28 modified - 19 mod - 25 mod
I straight up stepped these. and I went a little slower to get a good lung in there before I stepped up again. In terms of the modified versions of these, I'm not expecting the time to get better.
Tuck Jumps - 13 - 18 - 13 - 23
I was a little amazed at this one - I hate tuck jumps and wasn't expecting to improve any!
Tricep Dips - 9 - 14 - 12 - 17
I'm quite happy with the improvement on this one - there's nothing sexier than a lady with a toned pair of arms, and it looks like I'm well on my way!
Sit Ups - 16 - 14 - 11 - 24
Holy Improvement Batman!! I felt awesome doing these! I easily could have continued!!
All in all, I'm pretty stoked for those results!! Go Me!!
I think I'm going to continue to incorporate a fit test into my Thursday workouts as a rule, and I sure as hell feel exhausted afterward, and I know doing these plyometric explosive exercises are definitely burning fat!!
After my workout, I jumped in the shower, and then Ben and I went out for some Karaoke with some of my favorite people! (I had a diet coke, and water the whole night! I was good!) All in all, a fantastic night!!!
Motivation:
You *were* good at karaoke! I was watching to see what you'd do with the nachos in front of you, but you were a rock, babe. (FYI I didn't do it to test you; I just wanted nachos) ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I still stared longingly at that cheese the entire time it sat there though, but I was stubborn!!
