My on and off summer work schedule has given me the free time to focus on putting together a little workout regimen for myself. It started when I found the Armstrong Pull-up Program to increase the number of pull-ups I could do. It is a great workout that adjusts itself to your personal fitness so as you get stronger it gets tougher with you. That was going great until I decided to donate my pull-up machine to the new gym in the basement of my building only to have them take it from me weeks before actually open up the gym.
So while I am waiting for the gym to open I have found a website designed to help you reach 100 consecutive push-ups. The website is appropriately titles "Hundredpushups.com". There are adjoining websites titles "twohundredsquats" and "twohundersitups". I have decided to take on the hundred push-ups and two hundred squats regimen. I am avoiding the situps as I don't enjoy doing them and have never found them useful.
I am a big fan of exercise that does not require weights because most of the weightless exercises focus on a range of muscles instead of strengthening only one or two muscles at a time. I can also do these exercises just about anywhere which means I don't have to spend money on a gym in Manhattan.
It will be interesting to see how this goes. Being able to do 100 consecutive push-ups seems pretty far fetched to me right now as I still struggle to get to 25. and 200 squats is just ridiculous. Who even has time to do that many squats in a row? But still, I will press on and see what happens.
Hopefully in about 4 weeks I will be pretty close to completing these two workouts and can return my focus to improving my pull-ups, and then I will get to work on doing this...
