    Wow this felt much harder than the last day but the sets and numbers were very similar.

    I have so dropped the ball on this! I'm going to get back at it today because I'm hoping to start the push-up challenge over in April doing them REAL stlye instead of from my knees! I wanted to have done week one three times by then (each column) and I was going to then start REAL style column one!

    ARGH!!!

    Well I learned this evening that a sit ups exhaustion test doesn't go very well if you just did your first ever pilates DVD a few hours before....whoops
    I could only do about 50 :sad: :grumble: I did 130 for my last exhaustion test.
    SO, back to week 5 day 1 for me and I'll get going again maybe on Wednesday.

    Rene - great job, you are putting me to shame!!!:drinker:

    My boyfriend has been doing this. I stand on his feet and count for him or watch him on webcam if we aren't together.

    He was really struggling at first to get to a total of 75, but after about 7 sessions he did 131 total yesterday and I'm so proud. If only I was as motivated as him though :P

    I've been doing it. The push ups are hard for me but the sit ups are almost too easy. Probably from the running and core work I've been doing.

    Ok so here goes nothing. Because I completed so many sit-up's for the first exhaustion apparently I am in
    Week 3, Day 1, Column 3
    21
    27
    38
    35
    50

    I know that this isn't exactly what week 3 day1 column3 is suppose to be. But I did more and pushed myslef because that's what I do and I knew I could do more! Aiming for the 200 mark tomorrow

    Total: 171 Time: 16min

    This seems pretty motivating for me to get my strength training in. They also have a feature to log the number of situps, pushups & squats and can post to FB to challenge your friends. :)

    Initial Test:
    28 situps (column 3)
    15 pushups (column 3)
    40 squats (week 3, column 2)

    I could have done more squats but stopped because I didn't want to get too far ahead....weird thought pattern on that one.

    Tues, Thurs and Sat for this.

    Week 1: Column3:

    Sit-ups Week 1: Day 1: 15 + 18 + 10 + 10 + 23 = 76
    Push-ups: Week 1: Day 1: 10 + 12 + 12 + 7 + 7 + 15 = 63

    Week 3: Column 2:

    Squats:Week 3: Day 1: 16 + 22 + 17 + 17 + 37 = 109

    I think for squats I could have done column 3, will try that for day 2 to see if it's any more challenging.
  • tiggertiffin87

    Is no one else still doing this?

    Week 1: Column3:

    Sit-ups Day 2: 15 + 18 + 15 + 15 + 25 = 88
    Push-ups Day 2: 10 + 12 + 8 + 8 + 16 = 54

    Week 3: Column 3:

    Squats Day 2: 27 + 34 + 21 + 21 + 40 = 143

    I didn't do much better on push-ups today like I did for day 1. But I did alot better for squats, even after switching to a harder column. I felt more challenged this time though. Sit-ups got a little hard too.

    Just joined this challenge today. Found myself a bit disappointed in how weak my abs and arms are, but at least I have no where to go but up right?

    4-25 - Initial pushup challenge - 10
    4-25 -- Initial situp challenge - 17

    Will start week 1 on Tuesday. Wish me luck!
