Week 1 Day 1 100/200/200 push ups/sit ups/squats

For the next piece of my fitness puzzle - I have began the 100/200/200  Push Ups/ Sit Ups/ Squats program.

Before starting the program - -there is a baseline evaluation for your fitness level for each exercise.  I performed mine last week.  It is important to me to mazimize the benefits of all of my exercise now - -so good form is a necessity and I made it a point that I adhered to it.  Examples of each exercise are available at the program's website.

Evaluation Test Results:

Push Ups - 8
Sit Ups - 16
Squats - 60

Once the baseline has been established, you match your performance with the ranges on the training schedules for your corresponding week

Based on my results my workout for week one was:

I was happy with my performance;  even better was that Jackson exercised with Daddy the entire time - - he was my stretching coach in between sets - -his own program - -  that included frog jumps, arm twirls, a bit of dancing and just general merriment.  Although my first night of the exercise program was a success, my biggest thrill was Jackson's working right along side Daddy . . .
