Fitness Test No. 1 20th Feb 2012

Wow!! What a session with Step into Life!!  Had the fitness test today and I think I did ok.

Started with a basic warm up. 
Then I did a 2km jog in 16:06 minutes (which for me being a power walker not a jogger was amazing!!) 
Then we did a run back and forward between 2 cones 20m apart and had to do that for 90 seconds. I got 15 laps and all I could do during it was hope that my legs didn't give out. 
Then there were the pushups (mine were on the knees) for 1 minute and I did 40 of them.
Then came the Sit ups (all the way up) in 1 minute and I managed 27. 
After that was squates holding a 3kg dumbell in each hand for 1 minute and I as able to do 39 squats.  After that was the shoulder press with the same weights for 1 minute and I did 45 of them (which really surprised me)
The last thing we had to do was hold a plank hold (I was off the knees) for as long as we could. I managed to hold it for 1 minute.

It was intense and I was all shaky afterwards but now I feel great (tired but great).

I think I did ok. I have never jogged 2km before. Granted I walked quite a bit (especially up the hills) but still - Im happy with the outcome.

I do feel like I have acomplished something that I thought I would never be able to do.

The next fitness test for me is in 8 weeks so it will be interesting to see the change.
