This do-it-yourself fitness assessment consists of three tests:
- The Pushup Test (measures muscular strength and endurance)
- The Crunch Test (measures abdominal strength and endurance)
- The 3-Minute Step Test (measures aerobic fitness)
For The Crunch Test, I was able to do 76 crunches in a minute.
For me, the The 3-Minute Step Test was the hardest assessment because I'm not sure if I calculated my results correctly. I had to use Mr. Green Garmin to monitor my heart rate, my 'regular everyday' watch for the timer, and then a metronome for the cadence.
I'm also not sure how accurate Mr. Green Garmin's heart rate monitor is. According to him, my initial heart rate was 57. After three minutes of stepping on my 12" sofa minus the cushion, my heart rate was 112. After exactly one minute, it was 100 and then after another minute, it was 77.
I'm going to repeat these tests from time to time so I can compare my results.
