How to check our fitness levels?

Fitness is not about being better than someone else, it's about being better than you used to be.

Lets note down our heart rate, body measurements, plank hold time and stamina (jumping jacks within a min) which will help us track the basic fitness for you and we will re-check the same after a month to compare our fitness.

How to go about it?

Heart rate:
To check your pulse at your wrist, place two fingers between the bone and the tendon over your radial artery — which is located on the thumb side of your wrist.
When you feel your pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds.
Multiply this number by 4 to calculate your beats a minute.

Measurements:
Place the tape measure at these locations to get accurate measurements.
Points:
Neck, Shoulder, Chest, Waist (on navel), Hip, Thigh (mid region), Calf.

Plank hold:
Do it till failure and note down the time

Jumping jack:
Do it for a minute and count the no of repetitions you did.
