Fitness Test

So tonight my most excellent trainer/friend Lisa decided it was time to do a fitness test. Here's what resulted.

TEST	RESULT
1-mile run on flat treadmill	8:29
1 minute of body-weight squats	62
1 minute of push ups	47
1 minute of situps	27 oops!
Plank Hold	1:38 (my foot started to hurt)
1 minute of pull ups (diagonal, not traditional)	30
1 minute of bench dips	51

 
I am not sure I've ever run a mile in 8:29, not sure it will happen again. And to think no one was chasing me. It's obvious that my strength is in my legs. Cardio may not be as poor as I think. I am good at pushups and dips, but pull-ups suck. I was disappointed with the 1:38 for the plank hold, but my foot started to hurt. And situps, not sure what happened there. I like to have my feet braced and she didn't let us do that, so it was too hard to keep feet down and do sit-ups quickly.

We have to repeat this in 6 weeks, so it will be interesting to see what happens. I'll be sure to post an update.
