Fitness testing and results

Alrighty, so about a week and a half ago I endured the fitness test for my class, which included quite a few things. Here are my results!

Core Test:
One minute of regular planks, then 15-seconds each of right/left arm sticking out, right/left leg sticking out, right arm/left leg lifted up, left arm/right leg lifted up, followed by 30 more seconds of regular planks, totallying 3 minutes. If anybody collapsed/fell/etc then they failed the core test. I passed! So yay!

Pushup Test:
How many pushups can you do in one minute?
I did 31, which for women is "Excellent" (and i did the "full pushups" not the modified ones)

Situp Test:
How many situps can you do in one minute?
I did 21, which is considered poor.

Basically, I have upper body strength but not very much abdominal strength.

Run Test:
I finished a 1.5-mile run in 17:02, which is "average" but I found myself taking many walking breaks...I am a fast runner but I have poor endurance, so I have to work on that by running more during my workouts.

Flexibility:
I am poor/average when it comes to flexibility, so I'm going to start my days doing flexibility exercises and stretches so that I am able to have a better range of motion.

BMI/Waist-Hip Ratio/Body Fat Percentage

I am overweight and moderate health risk, with 32% body fat. I hope to be in the mid 20% range once i'm done with my training.


These fitness tests helped me set my goals and assess where I am at physically, so I suggest to anybody starting a new routine to do these tests. If anybody has questions, please feel free to ask me!
