I’m going to copy/paste the check-in email I sent the group that Bradshaw put together. Here goes nothing!
——————-
My arms & legs are shaking like jello right now, but it’s a great feeling! 🙂
I started on week 3 for all three programs (push-ups, sit-ups, & squats). It took me about 30 minutes total.
I did 72 total push-ups (17 max).
I did 170 total sit-ups (80 max).
I did 181 total squats (100 max).
Push-ups are for sure going to be the hardest thing for me. Yikes! I’ve been working on losing weight for about 6 1/2 months & have lost 18.6# so far, but I still have a ways to go (11.4#) before I hit my goal weight. This is a great mix-up to my routine & a reminder of the importance of strength training for both toning & endurance – thanks, [Bradshaw]!!

**EDIT at 4pm – I just realized I neglected to include that my intial test numbers from last Friday (used to determine where in the program I started) were:
Push-ups – 21
Sit-ups – 60
Squats – 100
FYI, If anyone else is interesting in doing this program, you can find details here:
You can see why I need to do some sit-ups!
My arms are getting strong, but definitely still flabby.
Thighs touching = not a good thing.
These pictures kind of scared me this morning (especially thinking what I must have looked like 6 months ago!), but it’s good motivation to keep working on this weight loss journey to get back to a weight where I feel HOT!
