The gyms are clearing out and the self esteem of yet another “New Years Resolution-er” is gone down the pipes. If this sounds like the nutty cycle you are on I wanted to help you stop that cycle. I want to see you actually follow through with your goals. I don’t want you to give up on yourself and so I am sharing a simple test that I do weekly to keep me focused on my vision of being as healthy and fit as I possibly can be. I want you do take the fit test too and see how you do!
Here are my scores and improvements within 30 days.
