APFT Fitness Test Results

I know that I am supposed to take the P90X fitness test prior to moving on to the actualy workouts but I do not like wasting time and getting results for a test that really do not mean anything to me, or to anyone else for that matter. Instead, I took the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT from here on out) and plan on using that as my starting point because it is a test I can see results in and those results matter. So here are my results for APFT diagnostic one:

2 minute Push Ups: 67

2 minute Sit Ups: 73

2 mile run time: 15:20

Height: 69"

Weight: 206 lbs

Body Fat percentage: 25%

So I figure that is a pretty good starting point for now and it will definitely be improved upon. I take my next APFT on March 03, 2010 - so a little less then a month away. I know I will improve the run, but here are my improvement goals for that next APFT test:

2 min Push Ups: 71

2 min Sit Ups: 73 - I do not plan on these improving, but if it happens... Sweetness!

2 mile run time: 14:48

Ht: 69''

Wt: 196 lbs

Body Fat percentage: 19%

The plan I will use to achieve these results is pure craziness. I do not actually recommend that anyone actually follow my workout routine. It will most likely lead to over training and soreness, but there is rhyme to this reason. At Ranger School, the tacs Give a Shit Factor (GASF from here on out) for your soreness is ZERO. They could care less. I will be tore down mentally, physically, and emotionally. I will get little to no sleep and everything that can possibly seem like a bad thing will probably seem worse with compounding of stress over time. My theory is that I need to work myself to oblivian over the next couple months to ensure I am prepared for Ranger School. I am attempting to complete the P90X workouts over the next couple of months along with the complete Insanity workouts for strength and endurance, daily Yoga routines for flexibility and core strengthening, 3 times a week distance runs to prepare for a marathon I plan on running (April 17th, 2010), and finally 2 times a week interval runs to increase my 2 mile time, all of which will make me one "High Speed Death Machine" by the end of my training.

However, I feel I should make it known that the P90X and Insanity workouts will be missed a few days. I have no intention on completing either of these workouts the day before my APFT test or the day(s) leading up to my Marathon debut. With that being said, I do not aim to disappoint you or anyone for that matter and I will ensure I hold up my end of the bargain by completing my daily workouts and ensuring I post them here on this blog.

Please feel free to comment or ask questions, but I ask that you leave your negativity at home. Negativity breeds chaos and disorder and I honestly do not need to hear it. I hear it enough from people who call themselves my friends- so leave it to yourself. I am all for a good debate or for answering critiques, but random abuse just makes your look like a douche bag. Thank you for understanding.

Stay tuned for further posts!!!
