“Thumbs Up to the PPC!” by Jessica Tyrrell, 2010 Most Inspirational Gold’s Gym Challenge Winner

So I definitely give two thumbs up to this Personal Performance Challenge. Last week were the last days for testing so hopefully none of you missed out! This is a different kind of challenge than the actual Gold’s Gym Challenge but, it’s one that pushes you to your limits and really shows you what you can do! This is perfect for those who want to continue on!  I honestly didn’t think the testing would be as tough as it was and I was pretty tired by the end of it. There were five parts to it and you got a minute for each test with a two minute rest in between.

The tests included:

1. The row machine
2. Pushups
3. Pullups
4. Boxer Deads
5. Band Sprints

I think the testing for me went okay but I was still a little mad at the end of it, which for me, is actually a very good thing.  I am the type of person that if you throw a number or time at me I need to beat it. I will work and work until I can beat that number and then I need to work a little harder to get above my goal. This test really pushes you through endurance and makes you step it up. It isn’t just your simple cardio work out but its bursts of cardio. So now, I have 8 weeks to be the best I can be at these 5 tests!   I would like to call them my new best friends!  I hope to see everyone else working hard towards their goals as well! I love seeing faces in the gym each day. Keep up the good work you guys!

I want to know what everyone’s new goals are after the PPC! Leave some comments with them!
