So, How Difficult is the Heart Rate Tests at the Beginning of School

I am 75" and weigh 270lbs. I am on the "new me" plan:

1) No sodas or caffine (hard because I drank like 3-4/day)
2) Only fruits & Vegs & Lean Cuisines
3) No salt and low carbs
4) Running every morning (more like jogging and walking) for 1 mile
5) Practice the Pre-Screen exercises every night
6) Lots of H2O

Here's my progress so far:

Resting Heart Rate (RHR) this morning: 89 bpm
After run (walked last 500 feet): 138 bpm
1 hr after run RHR: 110 bpm

I am doing my pulse manually, so the numbers are off slightly. I find it hard to control my breathing while counting and not losing my place.

I will post more numbers over the next two weeks, as I hope to start around the 28th.

 

Same if everything goes right. Although, I am still waiting on verifications, DOT physical and to pass the permit. BUT, from what I've heard the whole process goes pretty quickly.


Late Edit Addition: 13" Step rapid pace for 1 min: 164 bpm average (I repeated it three times with 5-10 minute rests between)
I did 13" to make sure I would be ready for 12"

 

I looked at that and the S12, but I want something that constantly monitors heart rate. I think those two you have to push the button to get a reading? Is that true? Which I guess isn't a big deal if they're accurate.

I want the type of monitor that is constantly reading and will alarm if I get too high.


Day Two
RHR: 74 bpm
After Running: 168 bpm (in middle of run after jogging up a big hill)
1hr later:
4hr later:
13" Step 1: 143 bpm
Squats: 125 bpm

I am doing the step faster than they show on the video so I can be ready for the BIG day.

JUST FOUND OUT MIGHT NOT NEED TO DO STEPS.

 

Wiseguy, what are you doing to prepare?

 

Hindsy, who starts tomorrow apparently says Roehl doesn't do the step test anymore. If true, YES!!!! The rest of the exercises aren't too bad.
