Hello all!

I'm doing the Squats and the Pushups challenges.

Very weak - so started at level one on both.

situps 20

Ok, I'm in for sit-ups. Initial test: 50 Very Good

I will be starting at Week 3 as per program's guidelines and will be doing this on the days that I do C25K. On the opposite days, I have just started Bob Harper's Kettlebell program and since that does a lot of arm/shoulder work and a TON of squats, I'm going to postpone those challenges and continue with the kettlebell workout instead.

sit ups- 23 ( ok ive been slacking lately. )

Squats- 40 ( ok ive been really slacking off )

push ups- 1 ( yeah yeah )

Im right there with you! LOL ....getting started with day one today.

LaSutopia

I'm in. Initial test:

pushups - 12 (on knees), rank: 2
Sit ups - 20, rank: poor
Squats - 52, rank: excellent

I think it wants you to do your initial push ups regular style to avoid being in a to hard group to start...then you can do the knee ones for your daily push ups...I can only do like 1-2 regular ones lol. I stink at pushups! But try it on that level and see! Maybe you got it! But don't feel bad if you have to drop down...we are there with you! I just don't want you to hurt yourself or get un motivated....:)

LaSutopia

Totally getting in on this xD

Initial Situps: 40
Initial Push Ups: 1
Initial Squats: 45

No strength at all =.=" lets get this started xD

Im with you on the strength...I stink at upper body...that's why I wanna try this! Lets do it!

It tells you how to do them, but you probably got it right....they are easier than the other stuff...when I first started on this site and started working out I joined a challenge to do 100 squats a day and I was like "I can do that!" Well I could only do 50 but that was right when I started and had not done any exercising in ages! So I think us women use our legs in everyday life more than we think...So you are prob doing it right.....feet shoulder width apart, then push butt out and don't let knees go over toes...do whatever feels best with your arms....and don't drop your butt lower than your knees but try to get them even (which is about 90 degree to floor)

Ok I did my first day today! I did week 1 day 1 for the push ups and the sit ups but I started week 3 day 1 for the squats. That is what the site recommended since my initial test was so high.

So
Push ups--check!
sit ups---Check!
squats---Check!

I'll post my initial results after I workout this afternoon.

I did my initial test last night....

Pushups 0
**Rank 1 or 2

Squats 15
Rank Average


**I have a question about the pushups ....I was not able to even do one "good form" push up..but when I did the test again with using the "knee" pushups I was able to get out 8. So which rank should I use for the challenge and I am assuming I stick with the "knee" push ups?? Help!! :huh:

cyclerjenn

Initial test from last night:
Pushups: 1(on toes) - Need more upper body strength
Squats - 61
Sit ups - 56

I also added the 150 dips to my list
Dips - 13

Tomorrow I will start the schedule

I would say to start each set with the good form push-ups and then drop to your knees if you need to complete the set. Also try a negative push-up where to lower yourself all the way to the floor as slow as possible and then start again.

Initial test---not too good...I should have done it before working out in the morning...I got to 10 and quit.

I started this morning with the app. I did all 27 and wasn't straining at all! Next workout should be harder because I told the app it was too easy---bring it 38!

tishajo

Initial Test: I did 8 push-ups on my toes. I will start the push up challenge on Friday.

barbara1982

As I said, i'm in! Planed to do my initial test yesterday, but came home quite late and was to tired, today will be the same, so I'll start tomorrow! Looking forward to it!

annttvldz

I will definitely start this tomorrow!

phitless

I always get to week 3 or 4, then real life gets in the way and I get side tracked. By the time I get back to them, I feel like I should start over.

jaquwa

bumping for later!

vicmonster

I loved the site so I'm going to do all the challenges except the pull ups. Initial test results:

Push ups 30
Sit ups 30
Tricep dips 20
Squats 75

I probably could have pushed myself a little bit more but I got bored. Might "test" again over the weekend before starting program.
