Hello Fast Tracker’s!
Before I begin todays blog, I am thrilled to announce that the 2011 Fast Track Retreat will be in my own hometown, Hermosa Beach, California! If you’re interested, please save the date: July 7th – 9th. This event is for Gold members only and you’ll be able to discover much more about previous retreats here. All of the details for Fast Track Retreat 2011 – Hermosa Beach are coming soon.
Okay now back to it people, WhooooHoooo, it’s workout Wednesday!
Today I’m gonna place you and Amy to the Test! These are two truly enjoyable tests for your upper and lower body agility and control. They’re simple to setup and it is enjoyable to see your enhancements soon enough.
I surprised Amy with this particular 1! I didn’t want her to practice so I didn’t inform her what we were doing until we reached the basketball courts. But, she got me back again using the challenge! We had been giggling going home about how enjoyable and difficult these tests had been. I truthfully believe it’s been five or so years since I’ve carried out these and now we are both thrilled to see how we improve ever 4-8 weeks.
The detailed directions are beneath, you can use tape or chalk! Have fun and let me know your results.
The Davies Test
The Davies Test provides an excellent indication of upper body agility and stamina.
WHAT YOU Require: You’ll Require ROUGHLY ten Feet OF Ground Area, TAPE MEASURE, ATHLETIC TAPE, TIMER Along with a Companion TO Keep TIME AND Count YOUR REPETITIONS.
Step 1: Place 2 pieces of tape on the floor 36 inches apart.
Step 2: Get into push-up posture with 1 hand on every bit of tape.
Step 3: Throughout the assessment, you will rapidly transfer your right hand to touch the left hand, performing alternating touches for 15 seconds.
Step 4: Ask your companion to set their timer for 15 seconds and count your repetitions.

The Shark Skill test
Step 1: Make a nine square grid equal distance apart, (12″ x 12″ boxes are the standard, but I prefer 15″ boxes).
Step 2: Stand in the center of the grid, on one leg, with your hands on your hips.
Step 3: You’ll perform the assessment by hopping into every box in a designated pattern, always returning to the center box. Be consistent with the patterns.
Step 4: Execute one practice run thru the boxes with each foot (practicing using the pattern you want to test with).
Step 5: Perform the test 2 times with each foot; asking your companion to time you on how long it takes to finish the pattern (your partner should stop the time when you land in the center square at the end of the
desired pattern)**.
Step 6: Report the times.
** Request your partner to report your faults so you can alter time for mistakes
.10 is added to your time if:
1. Non-hopping leg touches the floor
2. Hands come off hips
3. Foot goes into wrong square
4. Foot does not return to center square
