Workout for Saturday, January 2

Push Ups--with penalty

Choose a challenging number of push ups--either 100, 150, or 200 and a challenging but not impossible style of push ups (toe, knee, or countertop.)

Complete as many as you can in a row. You can stop at the TOP of the push up to rest, but if you have to rest on the ground you must pay the penalty. The penalty is your choice of 25 sit ups or 50 squats. So, your workout may look something like this:

100 toe push ups (yes, you MUST choose your number of push ups and style of push ups BEFORE you begin!)

Complete 22 push ups, without breaking
25 sit ups penalty
Complete another 18 push ups (40 total now)
25 sit ups penalty
Complete another 15 push ups (55 total now)
50 squats penalty
Complete another 15 push ups (70 total now)
25 sit ups penalty
Complete another 10 push ups (80 total now)
50 squats penalty
Complete another 10 push ups (90 total now)
50 squats penalty
Complete anotehr 7 push ups (97 total now)
25 sit ups penalty
Complete the last 3 push ups (100 total)
No penalty

This would have been 8 rounds with 100 sit ups and 150 squats completed.

I have done this with a running penalty. Believe me when I say--be very careful the number of push ups you choose! This needs to be a challenge, but be realistic!
