1. Assess your fitness level

You probably have some idea of how fit you are. But assessing and recording baseline fitness scores can give you benchmarks against which to measure your progress. To assess your aerobic and muscular fitness, flexibility, and body composition, consider recording:

• Your pulse rate before and immediately after walking 1 mile (1.6 kilometers)
• How long it takes to walk 1 mile or 400 meters, or how long it takes to run 1.5 miles (2.41 kilometers)
• How many half situps, standard pushups or modified pushups you can do at a time
• How far you can reach forward while seated on the floor with your legs in front of you
• Your waist circumference, just above your hipbones
• Your body mass index
