If you’ve stepped foot in a gym before, you’ve likely seen a promotion for a free personal training session or health assessment. Well, let me tell you a little secret. While they may advertise the use of ‘fancy technology’ or ‘science’ to assess your health, most of these tests are very simple and are just used to get you in the door. While I’m not saying that this entry-level session is a waste of your time (it can be incredibly beneficial), I believe that you could recreate it in the comfort of your own home without having to sign your life away at a gym.

To save you time and money, I want to introduce three core-related assessments that I use with a lot of my clients. These take mere minutes to do but can help you get a good of where key areas of your fitness are at including strength, endurance, joint stability, and overall coordination. It also acts as a fun challenge that you can repeat over the coming weeks and months to gauge your progress. Now without further ado, it’s time to put on your active attire and get ready to push your health forward!
