Lmao what level are you if you can do <1? Asking for a friend

You can start by doing pushups on your knees rather than your feet, makes it easier to begin.

thats blatantly false im an unfit fuck who eats nothing but ramen all day and cant walk straight because of a knee impediment and i could still do advanced on all but the pushups

So your legs and core are developed from transporting your own body weight, but your upper body is weak from only lifting noodles?

I know you're kinda just making a dig, but it is skewed really strangely. If you can generally hit advanced without explicitly training except for pushups, then a person who regularly trains upperbody strength should be able to do significantly more on the other workouts unless they were only training upperbody.

You’re underestimating 40 squats and 30 burpees

BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

30 Burpees in a minute isn't easy. Could be luck and good genetics but if you can make that, I don't feel like you're as unfit as you think you are.

I'm assuming your form is at least close to okay and of course I don't know you and different body types and all... but I workout regularly and I'm not going to make it to 30 in a minute without my form turning to shit. Not sure I could make it even with shit form honestly.

I feel the same way. I can do the advanced on all counts but I’m super out of shape as well.. Not like “round is a shape” out of shape, just generally unfit.

Being able to do them once is not that hard if you don’t weigh a lot (small people find this sort of thing a lot easier because it’s using body weight as resistance) and have previously built those muscles, but that means exactly nothing about actual overall fitness in the here and now.

Okay. So you've categorized yourself by this arbitrary metric. Now what? How is this useful in any way?

This feels like a trick to make me go exercise!

I think the thing stopping me from doing 40 squats in a minute is that it might make me dizzy, not that my legs aren't strong enough or whatever.

That’s cardiovascular fitness and an equal part.

Wait I'm advanced on plank and begginer on squats so am I advanced or a begginer ? The guide should also include more info on how to convert the total fitness lol .
