Talking the talk versus Walking the walk

Enough with telling everyone how fit you are...here is a basic assessment test to give yourself....lets see how fit you really are....

Level 1 Beginner-

- 10 push ups (chin, chest, thighs touch ground at the same time)
- 50 unbroken body weight air squats (hip crease is below knee cap at the bottom)
- Static hang from a bar- 30 seconds
- Situps unbroken 30 (not crunches)
- 400 meter run 2:04 (not on a treadmill)
- Deadlift 3/4 of your body weight
- Vertical jump- 10 inches
- Pullups- 3
- Standing shoulder press- 1/4 body weight
- 1/2 mile run- 4:20

This is a general overview of where a beginner (3-12 months) of training should be, there are obviously numerous other factors, but like a said...a general overview. This is level 1 out of 4. You will probably find you are good at some of these movements, poor at others. You have just defined your weaknesses, now go attack them.
