My Fitness Test. This is the initial test you take before you begin the P90X program. The test helps you benchmark your starting point, and gives you a chance to monitor your progress along the way, as you repeat the test at the 30, 60, and 90 day marks. Included in this is also your starting weight, and your measurements. Here is my chart, for all the world to see :-).

A few notes on this... Dips and the quarter mile are not part of the P90X fitness test. I added them because I love doing dips on my tower, and I want to rock that over the next 3 months. I also used to be a distance runner, but I have never worked on my short game before. I am a scout leader, and we make the boys do push ups and run the quarter mile as part of their tenderfoot rank, so I figured I needed to lead by example. I am going to work on taking 6 seconds off that time over the next 90 days.

For the body fat figures, I went and did an underwater body composition test, the most accurate way of determining your fat percentage. I won't do that test every 30 days, because it costs $20 each time, but I will do it at the end, and my goal is to get it down to 15%. I also added a neck measurement, as that is my most annoying piece of fatness next to my gut, I wanna see that number drop at least 2 inches.

So there's the numbers! Let the teasing and harassing begin!
