I am back in the gym this autumn after a spring and summer of outdoor sports and activities. I moved down from London to Cornwall in the summer and I have just recently joined a new gym. They were offering free fitness assessments so I thought I would take advantage and see where I am at this moment in time.
My stats were:
1 mile run: 7 mins 47
Then max sets of:
Press ups: 51
Pull ups (wide grip overhand): 2.5
Dips: 14
Sit ups: 70
Sit and reach: 16cm
I am fairly pleased with the press ups and the dips. The pull ups obviously need work. I tend to neglect them in favour of chin ups (with underhand grip) which are easier.
The run went a bit awry as I was expecting to do sub 7 minutes but I chose a starting speed on the treadmill that was too slow.
I will aim to do a follow-up assessment in 6-8 weeks.
