I performed a fitness test on my 63rd birthday - August 14th.
Results:
Pull Ups - 15 reps
Push Ups - 63 reps
1 Mile Run - 7:35
I was surprised that I was able to perform 15 pull ups, the first 10 were pretty easy, last 5 were a bit of a grind. Body weight 173 pounds. The push ups were a real surprise, ever since I started barbell training I stopped doing push ups. I had a goal of 50, then I just pushed through to 63 and the last one was a all out grind. The 1 mile run test was just a whim, I decided to just do it. Goal was to break 9 minutes. I was shocked I hit 7:35!
The good news is this is one year after my cancer treatment, at this time last summer I weighed 153 pounds and was just starting to come back. I started training seriously January, and took some time off in late April, early May for travel. I am back at the training again and I am pleased with my progress so far, I still have a long way to go.
