Week one - SUCCESS

I have just completed week 1 of the 100 hundred push-up and 200 sit-up challenges. Yeah for me! You can get all the gory details on this challenge here:

To get started you do an initial test to see how many push-ups you can do; let's just say I started at the very beginning, I started in column 1. You then do a total of 5 sets of push-ups, with a 60-second rest between sets. This is how I fared:

Day 1 11/14/09

On to sit-ups; I did really well with sit-ups for this week, doing more than the minimum for each set in most cases. I also performed an initial sit-up test to determine where I should begin. Based on my initial test results I could have started on week 3, column 3; I decided to start at week 1, column 3 - this would allow me to essentially stay on the same six week cycle as the push-ups:
