MONDAY
    0-10    Isolated Mobility, Compound Mobility, Movement Patterning/Technique, 
BELOW IS THE FIT TEST THAT YOU CAN DO IN TXT CLASS ON MONDAY. If you cannot do it in class then you can complete it in the gym or at home. Contact Christa if you need help. Be safe & listen to your body. If your body says stop, listen. Do not injure yourself to get a better score. 

1. Perform One Controlled 5 Wall Squats (MOBILITY TEST)Stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes 2 inches from the baseboard and turned slightly out. Keeping your feet flat, chest up, and back naturally arched, see how far you can lower your body without touching the wall or falling backward. Complete 5 reps.
The Scorecard:
Extra Fit: Full squat in control
Above Average: Halfway down
Good: Less than halfway
Mobility is a quality great athletes hone, but most regular guys ignore. That's a mistake: "The more mobile you are, the better you can move your joints through their full range of motion and the less likely you are to be injured," says kinesiologist and rehab expert Dean Somerset, C.S.C.S. This test, he says, "will expose limitations in your ankles, hips, neck, and upper back—places where most people are bound up." A lot of people fail this test because they have a rounded back or inflexible ankles.

2. Hold a Plank (5 MIN MAX)
Assume a push-up position but with your weight on your forearms instead of your hands. This is a plank position. Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to ankles. Brace your core by contracting your abs as if you were about to be punched, and hold the position for as long as you can. When your hips sag or your knees touch the floor, it's over. If you modify to your knees, time how long you can hold in that position. 



3. 500m Run for best time:You can do the test outside, ON THE ELLIPTICAL OR TREADMILL:If you are on a machine do a 3 min warm-up, then run one lap (500 meters) as quickly as possible.
4. How many Push-ups can you do in a minute?Assume a push-up position, with your body straight from head to ankles. Lower yourself until your chest is 3 inches from the floor. Push yourself back up. If you modify to your knees, note at what number you go to your knees and how many pushups you do from there. 
    
5.Double Kettlebell Squat, Clean, and Push Press 20x or more in 1 Minute (or as many as possible.)Choose Kettlebells 5% or 10% of your body weight. For ADVANCED WEIGHT OPTION, choose 30 percent of your body weight, that's a pair of 30-pounders if you weigh 200. 30% of 200=60 lbs split it up and you have two 30 lb weights.
 Place Kettlebells between your feet with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keeping your back naturally arched, push your hips back and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor. As you stand up, Clean the dumbbells to shoulder height and then press them straight overhead. If you need to you can use your legs for push press but try to remain as strict as possible. Return to the starting position and repeat as many times as you can for one minute.
The Scorecard:
Extra Fit: 20 reps in one minute
Above average: 18 reps
Good: 16 reps
Anaerobic endurance refers to your ability to work at near maximal intensity in bursts of 20 to 60 seconds. Anaerobic endurance reflects the stamina of your fast-twitch (type II) muscle fibers, which generate energy in the absence of oxygen.


. 6. 1 rep Deadlift with Kettlebells or dumbbells 

The Test:
Caution please get someone to help you if you haven't deadlifted before. Load a barbell with the maximum amount of weight you can lift once, and bring the bar close to your shins. Bend at your hips and knees and grab the bar using an overhand grip that's just beyond shoulder width. Keeping your lower back naturally arched, pull your torso back and up, squeeze your glutes, push your hips forward, and stand up with the barbell sliding along your legs. Reverse the movement to lower the bar to the floor, keeping it as close to your body as possible.Keep back flat and try not to round your back.
The Scorecard
Extra Fit: 1.75 x bodyweight
Above Average: 1.5 x bodyweight
Good: Body weight or half body weight
The muscles of your posterior chain provide the power behind many of the most important skills in sports—consider them your "go" muscles. These include your lower back, glutes, hamstrings, and calves—lots of muscles that may not be visible in the mirror but are vital to overall fitness. And no exercise hits them harder than the deadlift does. It's arguably the purest test of strength there is.

7. 2 MIN max Sit-up Test (modification MAX DEAD BUG in 2 min)How many sit-ups can you do in 2 min?
Have someone hold your feet and keep hands on shoulders & arms across your chest. No elevating or pumping arms. Shoulder blades touch the ground when at bottom of sit up. Partner should count your reps. 
The Scorecard:
Extra Fit: 100+
Above Average: 80+
Good: 30+

8. Wall Sit Test (5 MIN Max)Sit with a flat back against the wall. Hips inline with knees, knees over ankles, weight in your heels. See how long you can hold the position.
The Scorecard:
Extra Fit: 3min
Above Average: 2min+
Good: 1min
