How do you know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been? This is a wonderful quote that can be applied to many areas of our lives, especially fitness.  One of the most helpful strategies I learned from being certified as a personal trainer was to start every client with a fit test.  See what you are capable of at the beginning, that way later on, it’ll be easier for you to see and experience the progress that you are making on your road to weight loss.  Sometimes it may take longer than we anticipated to see our goal weight, the pounds don’t fall off as fast as we want them too.  With a fit test, you can see progress in smaller doses!

Below you will find instructional videos for all the fit tests…so follow along!

A fitness test is a measurement of your strength and flexibility.   This is a basic, at home fitness test with minimal equipment that you can do every 3 or 4 weeks (after working out religiously of course).  Keep in mind that this is a fitness test designed for at home use. However, it can be done at the gym.  If you take the test at the gym, grab a trainer and she can help you with the test.  If you stay committed to exercising and eating clean you WILL see results!
