Day Nine - Fit Test start of week two

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!!!

  1. 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) ;)

    1. Yeah, I still stared longingly at that cheese the entire time it sat there though, but I was stubborn!!
