Fit Test #2


Hey! Today was another Fit Test. I was kinda dreading this all day because I started this a bit after 7 because I forgot I had to meet with a classmate to go over a presentation for Tuesday. A part of me was like, "Uhg I have to do this..." and another part of me was genuinely kinda excited. I wanted to see if I had progressed or not. 

And I totally did!!

These are the scores from my first Fit Test
  1. Switch Kick: 80?
  2. Power Jacks: 36
  3. Power Knees: 68
  4. Power Jumps: 17
  5. Globe Jumps: 6
  6. Suicide Jumps: 9
  7. Push-up Jacks: 11
  8. Low Plank Oblique: 30?
And these are the scores from my second Fit Test
  1. Switch Kick: 86
  2. Power Jacks: 40
  3. Power Knees: 78 
  4. Power Jumps: 26
  5. Globe Jumps: 7
  6. Suicide Jumps: 12
  7. Push-up Jacks: 20
  8. Low Plank Oblique: 32 
I improved in all the exercises :) It kind of interesting just looking back at the first post from where I am right now. And I felt like I had better form on all of these too. The switch kicks I dunno if I'm getting my feet up high enough... The power jacks are a bitch but I'm actually starting to like those. Because they suck so much I'm really trying to do those ones well. Weird I know lol Oh and the power knees were good. The problem that I have is trying to keep my balance.

Oh so while we're talking about things to work on: 
  1. Better balance whether it's stretching, or doing power knees, or those leg compressions
  2. Making sure to contract my core while I'm working out. Too often I feel like I'm doing the move but I'm not fully utilizing it. 
  3. Breathing. I cannot stress how important this is. And there were a couple times in the past couple days where I was worried I was gonna hyperventilate because I just breathed too quickly and then I couldn't slow my breathing down. So big deep breaths is best.
But yea :) Today was a good day. I strove to get a few more than last time and I wanted to shoot for good form. I accomplished both of those today :)

Now I'm outta the shower, in nice clean pjs, I'm gonna grab dinner and sit out on my porch.
