Amy and I had the opportunity to go to Kelly Miller Middle School in NE DC on Thursday and perform free basic fitness testing for some of the staff members. Then on Friday, we experimented a little testing ourselves on SETH and AhealthyU's new cycle ergometer (we also got other new physiological testing equipment but haven't put it all together yet). These two events got me thinking about how important things like health screenings and fitness testing are. In school our progress is documented and tracked through performance on tests. Our health can be tracked in the same way. AhealthyU offers free fitness testing for all faculty and staff members at the University. We'll test your resting heart rate, blood pressure, body composition, cardiorespiratory endurance, VO2 max, muscular endurance, and flexibility. Schedule an appointment with us today - it will be a great way to track the positive impact that the pedometer challenge is having on your health. Send us an email at ahealthyu@american.edu to schedule your FREE fitness test.
On Friday I took another day off from running. I'm having a little problem with my heel and need to give it a little break from all of the pounding. So, today I swam for 45 minutes and then rode the stationary bike for 1 hour. After that I did some basic strength and core conditioning work. I prefer to be out running, but still considered this a great workout.
