Let's review

I was really busy when the blog started so I feel like I didn't give the Fit Test enough attention.  We gave our "scores" without giving full descriptions of the exercises.  Allow me to elaborate.

Switch Kicks:  Hold your arms in towards your torso in front of you.  (Think boxer protecting his body.)  Kick one leg out in front of you at a roughly 90 degree angle.  Jump and switch, kicking the other leg out.  I counted each switch as a rep, B-Spec counted every other one.  That's why there's such a discrepancy between our scores.

Power Jacks: Hold your arms straight up above your head, legs at shoulder width.  Jump, putting your legs out so you're in a squat position, bringing your arms down towards your knee.  Make sure your knees are still above your ankles--this will make you really sit back into the squat.  Jump back up to the starting position.

Power Knees:  This one is kind of hard to describe.  Stand so most of the balance is in one leg--let's say your right leg.  Putting hand over hand, raise your arms out at a 45 degree angle above your head to your right.  As you bring your hands down towards your belly button, bring your opposite knee up so your hands will tap it, right in the center of your body.

Globe Jumps:  Start in a squatting position with your hands touching the floor.  Jump to the left (you should be traveling a few feet to the left), bringing your hands all the way over your head.  As you land, get back into the squat position, touching the floor.  Continue the same motions, but jumping back, then right, then forward, completing a "rotation."  Each rotation counts as 1 rep.

Suicide Jacks: Stand with feet shoulder length, arms straight above your head.  Jump down to the a crouching position, your hands palms down on the floor.  Jump your legs straight back out to the push-up position.  Pull your legs back under you.  Jump back straight up to the starting position.  That equals one repetition.

Push-Up Jacks: Do a push-up.  As you go down, jump your legs out to a "jumping jack position."  That is, your legs should be out wide of your body.  As you go back up, bring your legs back into normal push-up position.

Low Plank Obliques: Get into a plank position.  If you're not familiar, it's the push-up position with your forearms on the floor.  Bring one knee up towards your elbow.  Bring it back to your original plank position.  Bring the other knee up towards the elbow.  Each knee raise is considered one rep.

Now you can all go do your own fit tests!  See how many reps you can do in a minute of each of these!

Insane Christmas to you all!
