The fitness gram is a fitness assessment test for the youth. It is a comprehensive set of assessment procedures ranging from running to push ups to trunk lifts. As everyone grouped up in pairs of 3 to spectate each other to do push ups, I was thinking in the back of my mind that I had to impress my friends by doing the most push ups in the class. When it was my turn to take my test, I started off well and did 30 push ups easily. The majority of the class already stopped at 20 but I wanted to do more and I pushed myself to the limit. I finished with 50 push ups but my arms practically turned into noodles, every time I tried to push myself up my hands would give away and I would fall to the ground. Everyone didn't know if they should've been proud of me or laughing at me but they were all impressed. I think that moment was embarrassing but I was more proud of myself that I was one of the many people that did the most push ups.
I would be extremely proud if I were you! 50 push-ups are very impressive. I can barely do two push-ups. I can see how you would be kind of embarrassed since after 50 you could barely pick yourself up. I doubt that the kids who laughed were able to do 50 push-ups so who cares what they think.
