Started this a few weeks ago and did the first week, then I repeated the first week, as it said that was a good idea - knowing that I am the world's worst for push-ups.
Then, as I was thinking of week two, I suddenly realised that i had not completed week one - I had only done day one x 3 times. I did not read that day 2 and 3 were more than day one . Doh!
...so back to the drawing board.
I have just completed week one.
Day 3 of week one is...
4
5
4
4
at least 5.
Man that was a struggle.
I managed the first 4 and 5 no problem, with just a little pause between the two. Then the next 4 was a struggle. I realise that getting another 9 done was going to be difficult. I rested...or to be honest I did some weight training with a couple of 5lbs weights. I thought that might make my muscles wake up....but no luck, they seemed to drain all the energy out of them!
How I managed 4 more I do not know, but I decided on a 2 minute break...that extended to 3 minutes, and I gave the last 5 a try....but I just collapsed in a heap - no strength in the arms at all.
i was determined to do the last 5.
I rested for about 5 minutes and got 5 done, but the last one was really difficult.
the advice on the site says...
"The 60 seconds rest between each level should allow you to complete the workout, but I promise it will get tough towards the end."
Understatement!!
repeating week one this week!
