i've been finding it really hard to fit workouts into my schedule, since i'm busy juggling a carpool, playing music, and trying to cook healthy food. i've decided to try out http://hundredpushups.com/. it's hokey, but it's a quick workout that i can do without any equipment. since i'm currently not a member of a gym, this seems like a good option.
tonight i did the initial assessment. 30 consecutive pushups (it's been 1 month since finishing my initial entry training with the army, and i've already dropped to half of my pushup score! THIS IS A NO-GO PRIVATE!!!)
according to the website, since i can do 30 pushups consecutively, i should start on week 3, column 3 (http://hundredpushups.com/week3.html).
this means my next 3 pushup workouts (spaced every two days) will be as follows:
Day 1 (Wednesday 4/20 - 7m47s total)
rest 60 seconds between each SET (longer if required)
set 1 14
set 2 18
set 3 14
set 4 14
set 5 max (at least 20)
Day 2
rest 90 seconds between each SET (longer if required)
set 1 20
set 2 25
set 3 15
set 4 15
set 5 max (at least 25)
Day 3
rest 120 seconds between each SET (longer if required)
set 1 22
set 2 30
set 3 20
set 4 20
set 5 max (at least 28)
day 1 will be wednesday, day 2 will be friday, and day 3 will be sunday.
following week will be week 4 done on tuesday, thursday, saturday... and week 5 and week 6 will be on monday, wednesday, and friday.
