First Fitness Day!

     Today, I did my first beep test. I did pretty well for my first time. I got a 8.4 on the beep test, which is pretty good, since I've gotten around 7.5 in the past. I' m not too upset, but I'm hoping for next time to get a 9, and work my way up to a 10, my goal beep test score. I hope to motivate myself more for next time, so my next beep test will be higher than 8.5.

Here are the rest of my test scores:
 - beep test: 8.4
 - push ups/30 sec: 12
 - wall touch: 245-230=15
 - T-test: (didn't get to do it)
 - balance board touches/30 sec: 7
 - flexibility: 5
 - plank: ~45 sec

       I was pretty impressed with my results in the beep test. I tried really hard in all the activities listed above, and managed to get decent results. One thing I really want to improve is my plank. I've done the plank for a much longer period of time in previous fitness testing days. I'm aiming for 3.5 to 4 minutes by the end of the semester. Another thing I want to improve is doing more push ups. I think for the push ups, I tried really hard, but I gave up before I could fit in a few more push ups. Looking back now, I could have done at least 3 more push ups.
       Internally, I want to improve on finding things to motivate me. I need to tell myself to keep going and that my "pain" or uncomfortable feelings are only temporary. I also need to better understand that the sense of achievement I will get after is better than giving up and not gaining anything.
      All in all, I was quite proud of myself, since it was the first fitness day. I know what I need to do for next time, and I know what I need to do to achieve the new goals I have set.
