5 weeks no sugar. GO US!
The past few weeks have been a bit crap for exercise in part due to the weather, and illness but also all the usual excuses. I plan to have a Hedwack Brainstorm to make a list of those excuses so we can refute them.
I am also posting the results of our first fitness test here for posterity. We used the test from the Michelle Bridges 12 Body Transformation. We are overdue to re-test so we will be doing that soon.
Today we had our friend and Personal Trainer Rob from http://www.organic-fitness.com.au/ come and spend an hour with our families, and how we can better utilise the space in our local park for exercise. We have a plan now, for better interval training, incorporating resistance training into our daily exercise.
It felt great to be out in the park, even in the rain, and Rob was fantastic and great with the boys. We highly recommend him for anyone in the Werribee area.
Now for those fitness test results.
I keep reminding myself that we all have to start somewhere.
| JENNIE | GRAEME | NATHAN | OSCAR | SOPHIE | THOMAS | CHARLIE | ||
| 1 km RUNNING (min) | 9.09 | 9.04 | 6.48 | 8.24 | 9.31 | 6.49 | DNF | |
| SIT-UPS | 3 | 7 | 21 | 8 | 24 | 23 | 14 | |
| PUSH-UPS(Knee) | 24 | 1 | 26 | 18 | 24 | 23 | 5 | |
| REACH(cm) | -10 | -17 | -20.5 | 8 | -4 | -15 | 12 | |
| WALL SIT (sec) | 13 | 20 | 66 | 23 | 34 | 63 | 3 |
Spouse 1 and Spouse 2 (aka Steve and Doug) didn't partake of the fitness test, although I believe they will in the next one.
And I must make a point of telling Charlie that he beat EVERYONE on the reach test. He is feeling very small and inferior at the moment, and that he cant't do anything. We don't need to tell him that 4 year olds are supposed the be more flexible than normal people, do we?
