I even told myself it's one of the things I'd never do again after I got out:rolleyes:
Great job, everyone!!! It doesn't matter who can do more, its the fact that we are all doing our best - and getting better!!!
Ok...week one..done!
day 1 - 10/10/8/6/20 = 54
day 2 - 12/12/10/10/25 = 69
day 3 - 15/13/10/10/34 = 82:eek:
Awesome first week girls! Keep it up!:)
Holy toledo..thats 205 for the week:eek::eek:
I admit, I dropped to column 2 after the 1st day.
It just seems more "do-able".
So day 3, column 2 total = 44.
One week down and 5 to go...can't believe I'll be doing over 100!!:eek:
I must report...this has now inspired me to do 20 crunches a day. I know I'm sick... but I did 20 yesterday and 20 today. I figure 20 a day is good until I can do them all in one sitting without pain... then I will move forward. Why kill myself... 140 now a week is better than 0.
So now I'm doing crunches too... oh boy:rolleyes::p
oakleaf and chicago: I'm doing knee pushups, so that's no doubt why the pushups are easy for me. I shall try the normal way and probably won't be able to do as many. I think we can do knee pushups, right? If not, I'll certainly switch.
Yes, you can definitely do knee pups! Just make sure you're maintaining good form - sometimes people have a harder time not bending at the hips when they're doing knee pups. And have a good padded surface for your knees so they can rock comfortably.Quote:

Great job, everyone!
Hey Oakleaf - I'm going to have to drop out.
Sorry all! I just can't seem to commit to this. It ends up being last on my list of things to do and it keeps getting neglected. I still haven't done even workout #2 yet!
I'll keep my eye on you all though. Maybe once things settle down a bit (winter) - I'll start this up again. Or maybe I'll just take REALLY long to get through it all! :p
No need to apologize! - this is supposed to be a fun challenge, if it's not what you're into right at the moment that's cool! Hope things settle down for you soon (if that's what you want).
okay I did tonight's workout... no problem... 5/4/3/3/max... and then I went ahead and looked at next week's schedule... say what?... on Monday they want me to do 16 for the first set for the first day of week 3!, I DON'T THINK SO!! 16 is a far cry from 6 or 7 or 5 or 4... uggh:mad: I will try... but I don't think I will be going from a max of 7 or 8... to a 16 in one week:eek:
I might just be making up my own week 3 when I get there...:D
as for now, still count me in during week 2... if next Monday I can do 16 in one sitting, I will buy everyone on this forum a beer:D:p:eek:
If you're on week 2, please post in the week 2 thread! Thanks!
I did what was required of me ,and my form was much better, although I just do the min. at the end. I'm getting a tiny bit stronger. I'm taking it one day at a time. Monday................4-4-3-3-5 :D
