Okay, so I did the fit test. It went alright, I suppose. I could do 8 of the easier pullups (hands perpendicular to the doorframe) but barely one of the ones they wanted me to do (the standard wide pullups). Here goes:
1) PULLUPS (minimum for men is 3): 1 (1/2, 1/2) How sad!
2) VERTICAL LEAP: 13 inches
3) PUSHUPS: 23 good ones!
4) TOE TOUCH: -6, the minimum. I thought I was more flexible than this!
5) WALL SQUAT: 1:36. I felt like I could've done better, but no worries I guess; almost double the minimum.
6) BICEP CURLS: We did a 20-25 pound resistance band for this one. I got 31.
7) INS AND OUTS: A floor ab exercise; I got 36 but I was going slow. If I went faster I could've gotten more of course, but my 36 were really good before I collapsed.
8) HEART RATE MAXIMIZER: I don't have a heart rate monitor so these are estimates based on comparing my pulse to the stopwatch.
right after: 150-160
after 1 minute: 120-130
after 2 minutes: ~90
I feel like I should get prepared for pullups in the meantime so I'm going to do some resistance band exercises before March 29th. I'll keep reviewing the DVDs and spending more ridiculous money on protein-rich foods.
