Update for this week so far.
On Saturday I woke up early to get in a workout. I read in Men’s Health Get Back in Shape book that there are 10 standards of being in shape. I know not everyone here reads Men’s Health but it is one of the publications I read. I am working on seeing how I do in each of the 10 categories. So on Saturday I set out to see how I would do on Standards 2 and 6. Run 1.5 miles within 10 minutes and do 40 pushups. My results were 1.5 miles in 18 minutes and 30 pushups. I actually did a 1.7 mile jog/walk but only timed the 1.5 mile mark. I did 30 push ups and 20 crunches, 20 reverse crunches, 20 each of left and right side crunches. So that was on Saturday June 26th. On Sunday June 27th I did 30 minutes of swimming. Today, Tuesday June 30th I did a 1.7 (untimed) jog/walk and 4 sets of the following circuit. 10 push ups with the Perfect Pushup, 15 crunches, 15 reverse crunches, 15 left side crunches, and 15 right side crunches. Except on the second circuit I was counting and thinking while doing my left side crunches when I realized I was at 20 all ready. so I did 20 on the right and finished the other circuits at the 15. I did all this before work because I didn’t have to be in until 10:00 today. So far I am off to a good start to my new 2-3 times a week exercise goal. On Sunday I will update how I did for the week. Thank you to anyone who is keeping up with my progress.
