1-25-2012 Pole Vault Practice

Hello! Today I went and had a fitness test done before practice. These were the results.

  1. Body fat Percent- 6%
  2. Resting Heart Rate- 56 BPM
  3. Heart Rate After Step-Ups For 3 Minutes- 59 BPM
  4. Push-Ups at constant rate- 34
  5. Sit-Ups In 1 Minute- 55
  6. Sit and Reach- 16 inches
I am pretty excited about these numbers because i have only been working out for about two weeks now. I will do this testing again at the end of the term. Now as far as how my vaulting went today, I would say it was a little frustrating. I really want to be able to swing with a straight left leg to my knees while keeping my hips rising and my shoulders dropping back. I was all over the place today due to trying and thinking of different things. I also did a few rope drills before practice to show what my swing looks like during it. I feel like I have a pretty good rope drill. I have also decided that i will be going to open gym at the local gymnastics academy every thursday. I feel like it will help me a lot with body awareness, strength, and over with my vaulting. Here is the video from today. Sorry they are so long, but i treat this as my journal to track my progress so i like to have everything documented. Not just the better jumps of the day. Plus it gives everyone who watches a better idea of where i a m at. Hope you enjoy. Take Care.
