FIT TEST

1 day down, 59 to go.

After completing the fit test, it gave me a tiny insight into what i can expect for the next 59 days. HARD WORK. Once pressing play, and listening to Shaun T's motivating words i thought 'this should be relatively easy, it's day 1'......um NO. Training to be a professional dancer enables me to have slightly higher fitness levels and my stamina isn't too bad either, but even for myself who has a highly active lifestyle i found myself dripping (i mean literally dripping) with sweat.
Somehow, i managed to keep pace with the majority of the exercises, Suicide Jumps, not so much. My legs were crying out.

Picture quality isn't great, the results are:

Switch Kicks 116      Globe Jumps 13

Power Jacks 62         Suicide Jumps 16

Power Knees 110      Push Up Jacks 20

Power Jumps 40        Low Plank 50

The idea is to complete each of the exercises above for one minute, seeing how many you can manage within 60 seconds. I swear without Shaun T's constant 'COME ON, DIG DEEPER' ....'YOU'RE HALFWAY THERE..YOU CAN DO THIS!!' I honestly would have taken 5 minute breaks in between, but that guy knows how to shout and get you going seriously.


Tips:

• Breathing is SO important, without it you can guarantee nauseous feelings and light headedness.
• DON'T drink water immediatley before working out, i did and could feel it swishing about (not good)
• Take tiny sips of water throughout, anymore and you'll chuck it up 30 seconds later
• KEEP GOING!!

Tomorrow i have Plyometric Cardio Circuit, i'm not entirely sure what that's going to involve, but no doubt i'll be once again making my living room into a sweat swimming pool and gasping for air once again.
