Here are two commonly used methods for testing muscle tone:
#1. Muscle Tone for Legs Test: Knees bent
Put your back against the wall, bend your knees as if you were sitting. Hold for as long as possible.
Results: If you hold
Over 60 seconds: excellent
Between 45 and 60 seconds: good
Between 30 and 45: medium
Under 30: low
EXAMPLE: The Olympic ski champion Franck Piccard held this position for over 15 minutes.
#2. Muscle Tone for Arms Test: Push-ups
Lying on stomach, hands resting on the ground at shoulder height, arms bent, push up the floor stretching arms up and come down. Count the number of push ups made in 1 minute.
Result: If you exceed
Over 30 : excellent
Between 25 and 30: good
Between 15 and 25: medium
Under 15: low
The world record for the most push-ups in 1 minute is 199. Source: recordholders.org/en/list/pushups.html
