Own Gym - Week One/Day Three


Muscular Endurance Block

7.5 Minute Ladders - Push/Pull

Classic Push-Ups - 36/36 reps
2 minute rest
Let Me Ups - 36/36 reps
2 minute rest
Military Press - 36/36 reps
2 minute rest
Let Me Ins - 36/36 reps

As you can see I've figured out the required reps! I'm also using another app to work on my pushup strength. My arms have never really been the strong area of my body. It's all been legs from running and cycling. In this 3 months of downtime, I figured I'll work on the upper body and see what happens. It'll sure make throwing my 3 year old up in the air easier I think!

The other app I'm using is from the Android Market called Push Ups - Your Personal Fitness Trainer. It says that by the end I'll be able to do 100-150 in a row! I'll be amazed if it works, right now I'm at 21 in a row. My best ever was in boot camp at 72 reps in a row without resting.

So, we'll see what this upper body work brings. Maybe a stronger swim once I get back in the water? Maybe I can be swimming right now... I'll have to ask the doctor. That would be a nice way to maintain some cardio conditioning. Gym memberships are just so expensive and I'd only be using the pool.
