Day 50 Fit test (Well A week late but the cruise was in the way)
The numbers don’t lie, I lost a little, I gained a little, and I stayed the course. So, 9 days off, lots of eating and feeling like I am carrying extra weight, I did OK on the test.
Week 1 Week 6 Week 8
Switch Kicks: 100 Switch Kicks: 128 Switch Kicks: 117
Power Jacks: 43 Power Jacks: 56 Power Jacks: 53
Fast Knee’s: 90 Fast Knee’s: 100 Fast Knee’s: 105
Power Jumps: 25 Power Jumps: 30 Power Jumps: 30
Globe Jumps: 7 Globe Jumps: 6 Globe Jumps: 8
Suicide Jumps: 13 Suicide Jumps: 15 Suicide Jumps: 14
Push up Jacks: 30 Push Up Jacks: 35 Push Up Jacks: 32
Lo Plank Knees’s: 50 Lo Plank Knees: 54 Lo Plank Knees: 54
So, if you are going to eat a ton, drink like a alcoholic, and stay up till 4am every night for a week, I figure these are pretty good results.
2 more weeks to really improve my cardio! Then another Modified P90X/Tony Horton 1 on 1 cycle! Woo Hoo!
Okay… what the hell *are* all those things? What’s your time limit for each?
*wanders into these numbers, existing in a vacuum, is uninformed*
Ok, the test goes on after a warm up and stretch. You count how many of a particular move you can do in a minute. There is a 1 minute recovery between each move.
Switch Kicks- Standing with slightly bent knees and your elbows at your waist (hands up), you kick your right leg to waist height, then switch to the left. (Heel extended on the up) Each kick counts as one.
Power Jacks- Just like a regulat jumping jack, but you go into a low squat when your legs would go wide.
Power Knees- bend your right knee slightly (Slight lunge) and reach up with your hands, knee up with your left leg and meet your knee with your hands. Go for speed. (Think Jack hammer)
Power Jumps- from a squat, jump straight up in the air and bring your knees up as high as you can, land in a squat and repeat.
Globe Jumps: from a squat and being bent over with your finger tips on the floor, you jump to the right while straightening your body and reaching over your head. When you land you return to the starting bent squat position. You then jump back (same move), to the left (same move), then forward (same move). This counts as one. Repeat.
Suicide Jumps- like a squat thrust with a jump and reach. from standing with your arms up, you then drop down, kick out to plank, jump the knees in, then explode up while reaching for the sky. (That is one)
Push Up Jacks- get in a standard closed leg push up positition. Open your hands about an extra inch on each side. On the down your legs kick open wide, on the up they go back to closed leg.
Lo Plank Obliques- from a low plank position you are brining your knee to your elbow while maintaining the plank. Switch right side, left side. Each side counts as one.
Hope this helps!
