I am now done with my Week 2 of Couch to 5k and one hundred push ups.
One Hundred Push Ups
Well I didn’t do as many max push ups like I did last week. But maybe that was because I was doing more before my max?
- Day 1 Max 9
- Day 2 Max 11
- Day 3 Max 14
I still have to do my exhaustion test which I will do sometime over the weekend.
Couch to 5k
This week was tough, my legs are starting to hurt worse and my ‘running’ is about as quick as a mall power walker in the mall. I started Day 1 off with slow runs, then Day 2 the first run was quicker and Day 3 I got through half the runs quicker yet, so I guess its working. I am not trying to force myself to go fast, just as fast as my body is capable of.
Shovel Gloving
I really can’t say much about this other than I do it everyday. It is still prettying tiring to swing the sledge hammer around for 15 minutes straight.
Results?
I started doing the exercises two weeks ago at which I weighed roughly 275. I am currently at 263.8 which is a drop of about 11.2 lbs which isn’t to bad. I am noticing increase in my muscle mass as well as my arms and chest getting more solid. I am finding it easier to do certain activities such as walk up steps and just walk around longer with out sweating and getting out of breath. So far I am very pleased with my results and its getting easier to ‘WANT’ to work out, it doesn’t feel like such a burden.

Remember, if you are not at 100 pushups at the end, you can repeat a week or two if that helps. Keep at it!

Work hard at it as often as you can.
