28.1 Week 1

Day 01: Fitness Test

This is one of three fitness tests throughout our 28-day movement journey. The tests will be the same, which will allow for comparison to gauge your progress from Day 01 to Day 28.

AMRAP 15 - Complete as many rounds of clean repetitions as possible within 15 minutes. Also count the reps you managed complete in the final round before the time runs out even if it isn't a full round. That way you have an accurate and measurable gauge as to your accomplishment.

Use a timer to know when your 15 minutes are up.

Score by number of reps completed & keep this score for future reference
