Simple at home Fitness Tests, part 3

Last week we tested you on your Core strength. This week is all about your resistance strength. Press up exercises can help you gauge your ability to perform a body weight resistance exercise.

 Press ups

  •  Perform as many press ups as you can in one go.

   Ensure you go all the way down to the floor. Select the appropriate level of difficulty for you, either on your knees (half press ups) or a full press up on your toes. 

Your results:

  • Level 1 = 1-10 half press ups
  • Level 2 = 10-25 half press ups
  • Level 3 = 1-10 full press ups
  • Level 4 = 11 + full press ups

How did you score? 

  • Level 1 = Weak area
  • Level 2 = Average
  • Level 3 = Good
  • Level 4 = Excellent!

Next week test your flexibility ………….
