Ok...so don't know if I ever mentioned it, but I used to be in the Army Reserves..
Anyways, just got a job running a bootcamp fitness program! Excited but nervous as hell. I was thinking of doing a physical fitness test to see where everyone is the first day. Doing a test just like in the army with a few tweaks.
Pushups- nothing changes here.
Instead of situps I'll time the ladies on planks. (I have a 6 pack and it's definately not due to situps.PLANKS RULE!)
But as for the run....I'm in a studio so I can't test them on cardiovascular endurance with a run.
At another gym they used a step and had people step up and down for a few minutes and rate their exertion level. But this is "bootcamp!" I ain't going to get no step!
I was thinking timing them on jumping jacks(but that might be too easy...) or burpees...
It's been a while since I've done any military Pt so any suggestions would be appreciated.
