{fit test}

With a start of new year, this is a prefect time to do a little test. This test is a baseline. Do it now, write down your reps completed in the time for each exercise, work hard for a few weeks, then next month repeat the fit test and note your improvement. Improvement may not be huge the first month. But if you keeping working hard, you will see improvements in the months to come. If you complete this fit test, I would love for you to let me know and share your reps in the comment section below. I've been sick and not had a chance to do this yet. But if anyone is interested, I'll be glad to post my results. I did a test similar to this early 2012 and I can tell by looking at those past reps that I can smash them now! So it is cool to think how much stronger I've gotten.
