These Five Fitness Benchmarks Aim to Help You Save Your Own Life | Lifehacker
Awesome. I may not have been able to confidently do all of these 18 months ago, but I could do all of the following with ease these days:
- Swim at least half a mile or more.
- Run at top speed two hundred yards or more.
- Jump over obstacles higher than your waist.
- Pull your body upward by the strength of your arms, until your chin touches your hands, at least fifteen to twenty times.
- Dip between parallel bars or between two chairs at least twenty-five times or more.
Seriously, alternating swimming and gym/weights days is the bet thing I’ve ever done. I’m fitter than I’ve ever been in my adult life. 🙂
