Benchmark workouts serving as an anchor for you to compare your progress month to month. They are an awesome way to measure progress! Think of the benchmark workout like a GPS for your fitness. You can’t get to where you’re going if you don’t know where you want to end up and where you ARE RIGHT NOW! Revisit this workout every 4 weeks and watch yourself improve! Make sure you use the same equipment (weights) each time you do this benchmark so the only variable is your progress! As you improve you can start to increase the weight, or add a weighted vest, and that becomes your new benchmark. xo ~J
