March's Fitness Challenge

To re-cap, March's fitness challenge was 3100 situps (100 a day) and 400 pushups (~13 a day) for the month.

Let's see how I did:

Situps = 3060 (98.7%)
Pushups = 400!! (100%)

Not bad! Anyone else following along at home? If so, leave a comment and let me know how YOU did!

For April, we are going to keep situps and pushups and add in squats (15 a day). With the addition of the squats, we are going to decrease the number of situps per day to 50 -- otherwise the goal gets pretty hard to reach. Now, there is no penalty for OVER-doing it, so if you feel like still doing 100 a day, go for it.

To re-cap, the goals for April are:

1500 Situps (50/day)
450 Pushups (15/day)
450 Squats (15/day)

I'm so proud of you! You definitely, definitely put me to shame. Thank you for showing me the new way to do push-ups! Your circuit training session was fun and hilarious.

Oh, and I will be better about doing my workout this month...you have kicked me into competitive mode...
