How long should a fitness test take? What should be tested? What equipment is needed?

WHY do we need a fitness test?

Whatever fitness program you are doing you only really know if it’s being successful IF you are testing! Ok so if your end goal is looking better, then before and after pics will help but that’s not really very scientific.

What if I can show you a quick, no-equipment test that you can do at home and it tests strength, cardiovascular fitness and joint mobility, 3 very important indicators of REAL fitness.

There are loads of different tests you can do, the beep/bleep test was one and is still used in some situations especially soccer, the yo-yo test was favoured by rugby teams and there’s jump height, touching your toes, 1 rep/3 rep max strength tests, sprint speed tests, there are literally dozens and dozens.

Over the years I have thought a lot about this conundrum – we really need something that can be done with minimum fuss that tests key fitness indicators.

So I developed my own, the 3TRUTHS Fitness Test, check out the video below –

This test is a true test of what are key components of our physical physiological make up as humans. And as I have written about in the past, these components are the ones that most help us create a positive impact on our hormones and therefore, our ability to shed fat and add lean muscle.

So if you are making progress on this test you are sure to be making progress in turning yourself into a fitter, leaner and stronger version of you!
