you can do more sit ups than push ups because
A they are easier and it’s expected you can do more
B your core is more developed than your chest/triceps

you can’t run a mile because your cv fitness is atrocious

work on improving vo2 max and then do varied intensity running
 
Sit ups aren't hard that's kinda low tbh
Just discredit my hard work theory.

And I couldn’t really do anymore because the teacher wouldn’t let me go pass 80.

I don’t know what any of the things you just listed are.

cardiovascular fitness is the general health/fitness of your circulatory/respiratory system in relation to exercise

vo2 max specifically is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise

How do I enhance my CV fitness? I actually hold my breath when I run so I think that really adds on to the fact that I run out of breath quickly.
 
bro in my prime a mie was my warm up 😭
Whattt. That was my first time running a mile and I got 15 mins because I actually like did not run for most of it.

What was your first mile like?

idk like 2nd grade, I was always in track but it was in cross country during middle school and thereafter that I really started getting good times.

Fuark my chungus life
 
80 sit ups isnt a lot though. i would say not being able to do those things plus only 80 would qualify you as unathletic, respectfully.

yeah don’t do that lol

cardiovascular fitness improved by simply being used. i think ideally you want to do exercise that keeps you in the 60-80% maximum heart rate range

your max heart rate is (approx) 220 minus your age

Okay, since I am 14…what exercises do you think would be best? I run a lap almost everyday minus the weekends because of gym class.

a lap of what? 400m?

you should try and vary the intensity and distance a lot if general athleticism is what you’re after

ie some days do sets of 100s or 200s or 400s or 800s

others you can go for more middle distance like 1600, 2500, 5000

after a while once your fitness is good enough you can increase distance past this, but it’s not absolutely necessary for fitness more just a personal goal at that point

Yes, I do 400m. I really only do it for gym class, but it makes me sad to see everyone not as out of breath as me.

I’ll get in contact with my gym teacher to see if she’ll let me do this but more than likely not because she has curriculum. Can’t do it after school either cause of practices. Maybe I could find a track and train though.

a track is nice but not necessary

download strava and get a watch that tracks your running
