Answer:

1. run a mile and record your initial finish time (repeat this 1x every week and record it so you can track your progress over time)

2. do the sit and reach test and record for initial stretch ability (repeat this 1x every month so you can track your progress over time)

3. do as many sit-ups as possible within 60 seconds. record the number (repeat this 1x every month ans record it so you can track your progress over time)

you could add to this, but hopefully it gives you a general idea. The goal is to test all fitness groups before making a fitness routine so you can determine what level of intensity you will start at. This will also help with tracking progress
