Simple at home Fitness Tests, part 1
/How are those fitness New Years resolutions going? Would you like to know how fit you really are? Hot Personal Training is going to set 4 simple fitness tests that cover aerobic, core, resistance and flexibility that you can do yourself at home. Start by taking the challenge below and see how you score.
The four tests come from each of the four areas of exercise, including aerobic, core, resistance and flexibility training.
Test yourself and then gauge your strengths and weaknesses in the main four exercise areas. These mini tests will give you a little insight into your current fitness level.
10 minute Aerobic test
Go and grab those trainers, find a suitable flat path or a treadmill and simply record how much ground you can cover in ten minutes. You can choose to either walk or run the ten minute time period (depending on your fitness) and note how far you have gone in kilometres.
Use the results below to work out which level you have achieved:
- Level 1 = Less than 1 km
- Level 2 = 1 – 1.75 km
- Level 3 = 1.75 - 2.5km
- Level 4 = 2. 5 km +
The table below shows how you score:
- Level 1 = Weak area
- Level 2 = Average
- Level 3 = Good
- Level 4 = Excellent!
In next weeks blog test your core strength………….
