If you die, can I have all your money?

There's actually a site that is a good training program for working up to a hundred pushups. It's www.hundredpushups.com. I got up to 80 pushups before I went on vacation... Now I can barely do 50.

Nice contest Lizzie and Taq!

Okay, here's a tentative outline of what I'd like to be doing consistently by the end of July:

1. Up my current lazy run schedule of 1-2x/wk to 4-5x/wk and expand distance from 3.5k to 5K.

2. Apply same principle to cycling: 2-3x/wk (current) to 5-6x/wk (anticipated) for 1 hr.

3. Add other miscellaneous summer exercises to my routine when possible (i.e. swimming, basketball, hiking, etc).

4. Do some sort of nominal calesthentics daily (e.g. 10 push-ups, 10 crunches).

Oh, I'm not worried about doing 100 consecutive push-ups. 4 sets of 25 is better for your muscles anyway.

July 1-4 Goals
1. Walk 30 minutes a day
2. Do 10 crunches a day
3. Do 5 push-ups a day
4. Do 5 jumping Jacks a day.

Yeah, I'm not feeling very good right now, but I want to do this exercising.... And I'll be up to more later, so yeah....

Yay! $\:D/$ This is BASICALLY what I have been doing lately but I'll make it official and maybe try to do it a bit more often. $\:D/$

I shall...

Bike a minimum of 30 minutes 5x a week

100 push ups a day! $\:D/$

100 sit ups a day! $\:D/$

And... ummm... 100 various weight lifting curls or whatever 5x a week. $\:D/$ ie, working out different areas by different types of lifts.

I do that stuff already basically, but only 3-4x a week usually, so yay I shall upgrade. $\:D/$

I'm working almost all day on all these days, so finding time might be a little hard, so I'm keeping it simple.

July 1- 4

1) Do nominal calisthenics daily (thanks for the idea on how to phrase it Sherlock!!) Push-ups, cruches, leg exercises..etc..

2)When walking to and fro at work (which will be alot), power walk. So, really this will be the equivalent of walking a few miles per day. $\:D/$

3)Go on our arm/leg thing(exercise thingy which name escapes me) once a day.

July 1st
I plan to do more exercise than anyone....ever.

July 2nd
I'm going to spar for 25 hours with Chuck Norris. (We will spar so hard that we will punch an extra hour into that day.)
July 3rd
I'm going to get my exercise this day from 8 hours of jumping on brown mushrooms, turtles, and exploring the pipe system below my house, I also plan to have a karate match with a dragon-turtle king on this day.
July 4th
It's independence day. Liberty implores that I do not exercise.

Climb at least 9 flights of stairs daily at work

Wow! Now I feel terrible.
I think Trent is going to be the Jugglah of the exercise contest.

I would be the Jugglah of the exercise contest, except that I can't do but like 8 catches of 5 balls, and juggling 3 or 4 is effortless for me, so that can't count as exercise. My goals aren't going to involve juggling, because 5 balls is the only thing I have to try for, but my results for whatever goal I'd have would be too depressing to post. Speaking of which, I'm going to post my goals here after the 4th, when I get home. I'm not on my exercise routine right now. I'm on vacation!

Sounds like the Russian (?) President in Alex Rider: Eagle Strike. And we all know how he ended up. (Dead)

So, if I don't juggle, I'll die. Great...well, I guess that's a good incentive.

No, I mean the "I don't have time for that right now, I'm on vacation!" attitude.

Assessment of my goals: Being on vacation, I've walked close to 15 hours this week. Far exceeded my 10 minutes per day.

I've also done the 15 crunches four days so far. Next week at home will be a better tet of how I do.
