so, i'm in reasonably terrible shape. no one knows it because i'm so thin, but it's true. i happened upon an android app called "200 sit-ups" or some bs like that, and then found out that it's a website.

on the left hand, there are lengths to other numbers of other things.
basically, it's a simple program to get you to your desired number of whatevers within 6 weeks. i'm going to simultaneously do the situps and pushups ones and report back here with how well it's working out.
it's not going to be interesting at all.
the first thing you do is an initial evaluation. i did those saturday. i kinda messed up because i thought the lowest tier of the chart for sit-ups was "below 39". i did 20-something, knew i could do more, but not enough to get to 40, and just gave up. it turns out that that wasn't the lowest tier, but i'm doing this one with my roommate and she got to 20, so we're both doing the "11-20" chart. today, day 1, i got to 45 (using sets of 9-9-6-6-15).
with pushups, i could only do 14. however, the sets for day 1 for that amount are 10-12-7-7-at least 9, and that intimidated me, so i threw myself into the "6-10" range instead. today, i did 33 (using sets of 6-7-5-5-10).
it's a 3 day a week program for 6 weeks and i'm gonna use this thread as a log for my progress with a final verdict on whether it worked.
unless i lose all motivation...
see yous'ins wednesday!
