What's your Personal Best?

Here's a little Fitness Challenge for you:

As part of your Beginner's and Intermediate Level Workout, you have 2 exercises to do:

1. Squats
2. Push-ups (either full push-ups or on your knees)

So do you dare to find out what your Personal Best is?
Do this:
Perform as many squats as you can without stopping
Perform as many push-ups (either version) as you can without stopping
Post your results in the comment window below!

Watch in the Video below how many Push-ups and Squats I managed today, just after lunch (My butt is still burning!):




BE A SPORT AND DON'T CHICKEN OUT! I WANT EVERYONE'S ACHIEVEMENT SHOWING BELOW! :)

(these exercises are shown in the beginner's workout video in the post below)

• Crunch
  
• Bridge
• Plank
• Side Plank

Perform the workout in the following way:

1. Warm-up (use step ups as shown in the video or a stationery bike, cross trainer or treadmill for 5min)
2. Perform 2-4 rounds of the Upper/Lower Body Circuit
3. Then perform 2-3 rounds of the Core Conditioning Workout

Let me have your questions and comments below!

Workout Plan for Week 1

Hi,

Below is a video I prepared for you to check your technique when doing your home workout as shown in the Week 1 Exercise Plan.

It is also releveant for 7 of the 12 exercises shown for the Intermediate Level workout. I will be uploading the remaining exercises soon, but due to some quality problems in some of the clips I have to re-record them; hence the delay. I hope to have them up by Sunday afternoon though.

Take 10 minutes to view the video if you are not sure about the correct technique.

Please let me have your comments and questions on the video by commenting below, rather than emailing me. I am sure your questions are relevant to many others too.



You can also view the video on YouTube directly and watch it in full screen by clicking on the above video itself.


PS. Next time the sound quality will be better :)
