Task 7 - Fitness Test

Yesterday was my first fitness test.  I'd organised a couple of girlfriends also participating in the 12WBT to come down to our local oval and do the fitness test.

It's amazing when you are the first one down there how anxious you get wondering if they will rock up. In saying that I had all confidence they would. 

When I arrived there was no-one else utilising the oval but by 5pm there were about 15 blokes down there running, kicking the soccer ball and doing various fitness activities.  Tanya B rocked up and that's when the discussions started.  Where else could we go and do our test???  Is there anywhere suitable???  Will we be able to go back to the same place to do it again in 4 weeks time???  In the end the decision was made to stay put and get on with it.  Who cares if anyone else it there, it's all about us not them.

Tanya N arrived and the fun began. First the trip around the oval a couple of times,  push-ups, abdominal strength, wall sit and sit and stretch.  It was great working with friends as we all had different strengths and weaknesses.   To top it off at the end I surprised the girls by pulling out my trusty camera and taking out before photos.  Mind you I forgot to take a newspaper down with the date on it so that's a job for tomorrow. 

My results were as follows :
Time trial

toes
knees

I'm sure there will be improvement in four weeks and the before photo will be up before you know it. That being the one from yesterday not the one I'm going to be doing in bathers! Well we'll see...
