Well, last night Angel & I took our "Fit Test" for the P90X program. My results were somewhat where I had expected them to be. Angel was more or less ok with her results. Her biggest complaint was the number of push-ups she was able to do. She had expected to have been able to do more.

The purpose of this post is to share with you the results of our test. This is also for us. Somewhere public that we can store our results for later reference.

Event	Description	Standard	Bob	Angel
Resting Heart Rate	What is your heart rate at waking	N/A	68	77
Pull-ups	Chin-ups with palms facing forward, away from body, two fists wider than shoulders	male: 3 female:1	7.5	0
