Initial Test

So, I completed the initial tests for the 100 pushups and 200 situps program. Here is what I got:

Pushups (max, no time limit): 15
Situps (max, no time limit): 25

I must say, I am a little bit surprised with myself -- I figured I'd fair much worse on both, but looks like I may have been able to rescue some of my strength from the fritos and mountain dew after all. These results put me in column 3 of both the situps and pushups test, but I think I am going to start in Column 2 for the first week to see how I fare (in case this was a fluke or something).

I am possibly a little concerned about completing both the 100 pushups and 200 situps program together, so I think I might end up alternating days (MWF pushups and TTHSa situps, or something) until I can get myself conditioned.

Anyways, tomorrow starts the pushups portion, so I'll see how I fare.

100 pushups/200 situps

G'day everyone:

My name is Chris. It is probably fair to say that I am the "stereotypical" IT/comp sci guy: 22 years old (read: young) white male, require glasses to help me see, slightly odd/quirky, and enjoy science fiction and video games.

I have been working IT for around 3 years now, specifically in network administration and programming. I have spent almost all of these 3 years comfortably behind a desk in my nice chair, churning out code and enjoying fritos and mountain dew. As such, I have put on *ahem* a few extra pounds, and needless to say, my strength isn't quite what it used to be.

As such, I have decided to follow the 100 pushup and 200 situp program religiously (I hope) and intend to chronicle the next 6 weeks of physical exercise here for all to read. This way, I can at try and keep myself motivated a slight bit. Hopefully, by the end of the 6 weeks, I can complete the 100 pushups/200 situps, or at least get myself in some better shape.
