Week 3

Week 3 has begun, as of yesterday.

I'm currently doing 60 reps a day, still the same plan, MWF for push-ups, TuThSat for sit-ups.  I sometimes am about a day late on my exercises, but I've made it up every time so far.  I'm really liking my new approach, not caring how many reps per set or how many sets I do, and only caring about the quantity and quality of the reps.

Jenn (my wife) says she can already see results, so that's encouraging.

The push-ups are starting to feel more challenging, but the sit-ups are feeling easier. /shrug

Next week is 80s. ;-)

Exercise, Revisited

As of last week, I've gotten back on that horse. Yep, that's right, I'm exercising again. It may or may not end up as ambitious as last time, but right now, I'm trying to be sure that I can stick with it. The routine right now is push-ups Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and sit-ups on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I get Sundays off. I also squeeze in time on the elliptical, currently only 6 minutes at a time. Last week, my objective was 30 reps a day, in whatever sets I like. Check. Done. This week, the objective is 45 reps a day, again, whatever sets I like. I fully intend to do my reps in whatever sets feels right at the time. I'm hoping to continue increasing the number of reps, every Monday, by at least 15. If my joints give me trouble (that's what stopped my routine last time), I have elbow and wrist braces to help lessen the strain. I'd really like to reach at least 500 reps a day. We'll see.
