    I'll take my test later today.

    I must be doing the squats wrong because I was able to to 50.
    push ups. 4
    situps 20

    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 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:

    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!

    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.

    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.
