Fitness Test

Are my results all over the place or what?

It takes me 15 minutes to walk 1k, yet I can reach 5cm past my toes and hold a plank on my knees for 58 secs.  I can't do a wall sit for longer than 12 seconds and that's with my knees not even at 90 degrees to the floor and I can only do 13 push ups (not even all the way to the floor).

The 1k walk was very painful - in my knees and in my lower legs.  About 5 years ago I used to do letterbox dropping of leaflets.  I got paid a pittance, but I thought it would be a good way to get fit.  I had to go out every week to deliver leaflets to 500 houses - it would take me a couple of hours twice a week.  Some days I could walk no problems - no pain in anything.  Some days it was a real struggle and it seemed that my legs would drop off below the knee.  I could never figure out why - I still can't.  It's not like on the good days I would do anything different than on the bad days, nor did a bad day follow a good day.

I think I have hubby and his bedroom Olympics insistence to thank for the plank time.  Oh and a good magic wand..........


Been thinking about the forum.  I think the 12wbt forum is good, but if 1 person wants to keep a journal of their thoughts they don't seem to be able to do that within the forum.  I have yet to find anything like that anyway.
