These three tests will show you how to assess your fitness level without even leaving your house.
Check Your Heart Rate

First, check your heart rate to see if it is in a healthy range. A normal, healthy resting heart rate is usually around 60 beats a minute. To find what your resting heart rate is, check your pulse while you are still lying in bed. Find your pulse on your wrist with your index finger and middle finger. For 15 seconds count how many beats you feel. Multiply that number by four and you have your at rest heart rate.
If you find that your heart rate is quite a bit above 60, you may be somewhat out of shape and should aim for cardio exercise plans to strengthen your heart, as well as burn fat fast.

Checking Weight and BMI
Your weight and BMI or Body Mass Index should also factor into your diet plan.
Many people don’t weigh themselves properly, and this gives them an unreal image of their fitness level. To get a correct weight, weigh first thing in the morning. Do it naked and make sure that your scale is on hard, level ground. This will get you the most accurate weight possible.
Body Mass Index uses your accurate weight to show the percentage of body fat. Here is the formula for calculating your BMI:

· Take your height and multiply it, in meters, by itself and write that number down.
· Divide your weight, in kilograms, by the number you just wrote down.
· The total will be your BMI.

To decide if your BMI is in a healthy range, compare your number to these figures:

· Below 18.5 is underweight
· 20-25 is considered a normal BMI.
· Above 25 is considered an overweight BMI.

Tailor your workout plan and diet to the information you glean from these tests. If you are very overweight and strenuous exercise could cause injury, you may want to start with a diet that doesn't require exercise. If you feel that you are a healthy weight and these tests tell you otherwise, consult with your doctor.

Pretty sure these websites say different

How to Find Your Fitness Level

It's exactly copied from here, so don't go off at a known and liked member saying you put time into this when you ripped it from a website.

Also, for good measure

5 Basic Survival Skills

You also completely ripped that off.

No no Joker, hes right. Im in America, and in my country we are allowed to say whatever we want, no matter how useless or contribed or irrelevant it might be. He shouldnt be berated by me just for simply trying to empower our lives with his fantastic knowledge that spreads across multiple subjects.

So please Centatom. Continue. I shall throw no more monkey wrenches in your quest to educate all of us.

Well, Im not positive...but I just know that he was the original author of that article, and it was plagurized by that website you provided.

I HIGHLY doubt in fact the chances are REMOTELY slim that TWO first result google searches for his article plaguarized EXACTLY what he wrote, not to mention, highly well known and reputable sites.

[Xiciljed]

No, he's right... His post was ripped off. Offtopicz is very popular and sites steal our members posts all the time... I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't already on 300 different sites by now...

[CuittisIL]

Regardless of the nice detective work...this belongs in Health and Fitness, not General Discussion.

wasn't it like BMI results arn't reliable when coming to tell you how fit you are cuz those who weight over 200-300 pounds like football players are more fit compared to others :S but the BMI would just say there unhealthy

That and age, I'm 13 and have a BMI of like 15 or something, and it says I'm vastly underweight.
