Between Saturday's workout, Sunday's grappling, and moving mattresses this weekend, I'm pretty beat, so I decided I'm getting the day off from any extended workouts. Looking through some workout stuff online though, I came across information about the Army Physical Fitness test (APFT). For those who, like me, hadn't heard of it, it's a test US Army soldiers have to go through at least twice a year, and involves three tests: pushups, situps, and a 2 mile run. There are various restrictions on how you the exercises have to be performed and even on how one can rest during the exercises (e.g., no resting in the down position for the situps). My results today were:
Pushups (2min): 45
Situps (2min): 59
According to this chart, for my age group I scored a 66/100 (minimum passing grade is 60) on pushups and a 72/100 for the situps -- not bad, though I hope to improve it. Since I expect to be tired on many Mondays, maybe I'll try to make this a weekly thing to give myself a progress benchmark.
