hlmaueraOne of my long term goals is to be fit and maintain a level of fitness. But the problem with that goal is that what "fit" means is different for every person. So what are my measures of fitness? How will I know that I am "fit?"
My measures are a little arbitrary but also involve flexibility and stamina. My brother's would probably involve a deadlift weight but mine don't. I don't honestly know if all of the measures are achievable for me at my age and with my injuries but I'd like to try to reach these markers. So, in no particular order my measures are:
Run five miles
5 minute plank
10 pull ups
20 push ups
Splits three ways
Headstand
Handstand
This is not a short term goal. At this point in my life, I'm lucky if I can run a couple of blocks. But it's a place to start and way to measure progress.
What are your measures of fitness?
