Pushups: 54+57+63 = 174

Situps: 117+117+136 = 360

Squats:88+105+113 = 306

Pushups: 12+13+10+10+(18)=63

Crunches: 24+25+21+21+(45)=136

Squats: 22+22+19+20+(30)=113

 

At the end of this week I'm supposed to do a "fitness test" which determined where I start next week.  It consists of doing as many of each as I can until completely exhausted.  I'll probably do the test for pushups and cruches tomorrow morning then afternoon and then the squats on Sunday.  This means I'll be partially shot for next Monday... so I might move day 1 of week 3 out to Tuesday and play catchup.  We'll see, I'll keep "you" (the tubes) posted.

--pete

10+12+10+9+(16)=57

21+24+18+18+(36)=117

19+22+16+16+(32)=105

 

Friday might be a little difficult.  Tight schedule, not much to write.

--pete

 

Push-ups: 9+11+8+8+(18)=54

Sit-ups (crunches): 21+21+15+15+(45)=117

Lunges: 21+19+13+13+(22)=88

 

Ok, the triad is complete, 5 weeks to go.  RAR.  I do a ton of biking as well as walking so I'm really hoping that doesn't conflict with the squats.  My legs were sore for two days after the 'inital test' on Friday but I suppose I could have done them slower.  Exersise bores me :/

 

The other thing that will be interesting in the coming weeks is the conflict of crunches and pushups.  Pushups require tense abdomenals, however if they're worn from the crunches then that makes it a problem... or if they're worn from the pushups then the end of the crunches is difficult.  I guess it's not supposed to be easy though.

I just did the initial test for 200 squats and decided to stop at 45, putting me into the "excellent" category.

 

 

I'll start on week 2 next week with the rest of them.  I am going to DESTROY ski season this year.

 

 

 

Ok, I've made it to day three this time, yipee.  I think the hardest part about this is remembering to do it.

 

  Pushups: 9+10+9+7+15=50, 50 pushups mu ha ha ha!

  Situps (crunches): 17+22+14+16+37=106, 106 easy crunches!!!! mu ha ha ha ha ha...

 

I'm thinking that crunches are a lot easier than situps, however I've read that situps and not the best for your back and neck. :/  Maybe I should double it and do 400 crunches?  1000 crunches?  I was on a kick once to do 1000 jumping jacks in a day.  I kicked it around 500 as it was really jacking up my knees.  Maybe I'll try to start again.  I felt that anyone that could do 1000 jumping jacks a day for a solid week would be in good fitness.  I think it's a good goal, however I really started getting bored while doing them.

 

So the totals for the week are:

  pushups: 31+36+50 = 117

  situps: 76+103+106 = 285

 

Hooray, I finished week 1.

--pete

 

Pushups: 6+8+6+6+10=36

Situps: 15+18+15+15+40=103

Ok, got seriously off track before and I'm starting over.  Level 2 for pushups and level 3 for situps.

 

pushups - 6+6+4+4+11=31

situps - 15+18+10+10+23=76

 

hopefully I can keep on schedule this time.
