Getting Back into a work out routine

Hi All,

I mentioned last week that I have not over the past few months I was not working out. In anticipation for working out again I bought a workout diary a couple months ago. There is a section in the diary for completing a Physical Measurements and Capabilities Assessment and Cardiovascular Fitness Test. This past week I recorded my Physical Measurements and Capabilities Assessment. This weekend I will complete the Cardiovascular Fitness Test.  

The diary allows you to record your current and target measurements. I'm not posting my current and target physical measurements at this time, but I will provide the other items I recorded. 

I purchased the diary from Five Below. It was $3.25. You can view it online here.

    *When I looked at Five Below's website the diaries are sold out. Bestproducts.com has a list of the

     15 Best Fitness Journals . You can also find apps in your mobile device app store.

Below are the capabilities I recorded in case you are interested in recoding them for yourself. In the diary I recorded my current capabilities and my target capabilities.

Time how long it takes to run 1mile/2km.  30 minutes

Count how many push-ups you can do before you have to stop.   1

Count how many sit-ups you can do before you have to stop.   1

Count how many squats you can do before you have to stop.  30

Sit with legs out straight. Place a ruler on the floor with the tip between your feet. Record how many inches/cm you stretch up to or beyond your feet.  4.5 inches beyond my feet

Time you can balance on one foot. 

    Right foot:  1 minute

    Left foot: 42 seconds

Check back next week for instructions on how to complete a Cardiovascular Fitness Test and the results of my test.
