Fitness Test!

Have you wanted to know how fit you are or maybe have a goal to work to being fit? Maybe a good idea would be to start by doing a fitness test. There are many ways that you can do it, one being to make a time with a Personal Trainer and do a full on test, including body composition, health assessment. Personal Trainers will include blood pressure,BMI, Flexibility, Aerobic capacity, waist to hip ratio and strength. From these results you can then have goals set to help you reach your goals in your fitness.

Another way you can do a fitness test is at home, however it may not be as intense as the one with a Personal Trainer but it will give you a good start as to where you are at and then show you areas where you can improve.

A fitness test at home can include a cardio test, a test for your upper body, a lower body test, and abdominal test, and a flexibility test.

Over the next few posts I will add each test up and how you can do it at home. The best thing is if you decide to do these tests you will need to do them and keep a record then work out a program as to how you can increase your fitness then you will need to re test to see how your progression is going. Stay tuned!
