I found this at PowerCentering, which is a commercial website that promotes a core workout to get in shape. I have no idea how well their products or regimen work, but since I'm showing one of their tests here, I need to give them proper credit.
Here is the test:
The Core Muscle Strength & Stability Test is conducted as follows:
Position the watch on the ground where you can easily see it
- Assume the basic plank/hover position (elbows on the ground).
- Hold this position for 60 seconds
- Lift your right arm off the ground.
- Hold this position for 15 seconds
- Return your right arm to the ground and lift the left arm off the ground.
- Hold this position for 15 seconds
- Return your left arm to the ground and lift the right leg off the ground.
- Hold this position for 15 seconds
- Return your right leg to the ground and lift the left leg off the ground.
- Hold this position for 15 seconds
- Return your left leg to ground and lift your right leg and left arm off the ground.
- Hold this position for 15 seconds
- Return your right leg and left arm to the ground and lift your left leg and right arm off the ground.
- Hold this position for 15 seconds
- Return to the basic plank position (elbows on the ground).
- Hold this position for 30 seconds
Your score is equal to the number that corresponds to your last completed position (1-16) Your Score = _____________
I'll do this twice a week and see how I improve. It tried it and, sad to say, got a score of 7. Still, what's life without a challenge?
