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! :)

    squats are way more easy than push ups for sure! :) however, one who is weaker in his legs and much stronger in his hands would prefer much more push ups than squats! :)

    I'm doing squats using weights and I'm currently managing to do 8 repitions with 80 kg.

    As for push ups, I don't do them as I'm also using weights, mainly bench press, inclined press and declined press. My max. for bench press is 85kg for 7 repitions.

    Hi I managed to do 320 squats but only 30 knee push ups. A helpful way I found for the squats is by putting a broom stick on your shoulders and hold on to it keeping your back straight.
