Day One - The Fitness Test

The fitness test from hell they should call it! Oh my god it was awful.

Right so first things first.

I am 5'5. Just weighed in a 155.6lbs (or 11.1 stones) Which is according to those weird height weight graph thingys overweight but not by much. This isn't just about weight loss it's also about toning and that ever coveted flat stomach.

Okay... measurements...
Bust: 37.5 inches
Waist: 34.5 inches
Hips: 42.5 inches

Well technically it's still hourglass shape even if it's a somewhat bottom heavy hourglass...?

So onto this horrendous exercise regime I've decided to do. The first day is the fit test which I think shouldn't be too hard. WRONG. I just watched Shaun T and his his two friends do a whole manner of exercises that start with the word "power" yuk.

There are 8 moves and these are:

Switch Kicks : (90) 45
I got 45 of these as 2 kicks equal one rep (yeah thats fair...) First one and it's not too bad just kicking my legs about in the air. Fine.

Power Jacks : 35
Whoever thought of doing a jump into a squat and vice versa should be shot.

Power Knees: 55
These were not too bad again, just raising a knee up to your hand. Sort of felt like pumping up a bikeor something but it was fine and definitely started working the side of my "abs".

Power Jumps: 25
I hate jumping. Once I've done exercise for about five minutes my legs no longer have the strength to jump and as such I found these both hard and possibly life threatening.

Globe Jumps : 9
LOVE these! I'm not even being sarcastic. Four reps count as one and it's sort of doing a jump squat in a square but this was much more to do with strength than cardio (or so my lungs felt).

Suicide Jumps : 10
The name basically explains it all. Plank knees up, jump. Basically torture.

Push-up Jacks : 20
These were hard. As you would expect when the person doing said push ups can only do about ten before collapsing.

Low Plank Oblique : 34
I would have liked these but I have insanely clicky bones and my hips were trying to click and move and it was incredibly annoying i kept having to wait for my hips or leg to just pop... Which sounds truly lovely.

So that is it. Day One is complete considering how short it was I am actually knackered and I genuinely thought I was going to be sick half way through it! However I am still alive and have yet to board the chunder bus.
