Learn how to do the speed Davies test. Presented by Real Jock Gay Fitness Health & Life.

Benefits

Test your shoulders—literally. From a plank position, you'll use each hand to tap the back of the other, alternating at top speed. Keep count as you go, and try to beat your own record. Your first attempt is a baseline; improve on it with practice.

Starting Position

Take up a push-up, or plank, position on the floor. Your weight will be on your hands and toes, with your back flat and a straight line from the top of your head to your heels. Place your hands wider than your shoulders, about 3 feet apart.

Exercise

1. From the starting position, quickly bring your right hand across to tap the back of your left hand. Returning your right hand to the floor, immediately do the same with your left hand, bringing it across to tap the back of your right hand. As you do this, keep your plank position strong and flat, with your shoulders and hips parallel to the floor.

2. Continue to alternate taps, as rapidly as possible, for 60 seconds. Keep count as you go, so that you can try to increase your number each time you do this exercise.
