Alrighty, first official week of Simple Fit is finished. I did 3 body rows for every 1 pull-up. And my last 6 push-ups I did standing up on the wall.

L1 D3:10 pull-ups (30 body rows)
21 push-ups (on knees-last 6 on wall)
21 squats

Total time: 19 minutes

Great start and congratulations. I bet you didn't think you could do that a week or two ago.

[jennyfit]

In fact, not realizing how different each day's workout was, I didn't think I could do that after how I did on D1.

Pat your self on the back for sure. What part of DFW? I lived in Ft Worth and then has a ranch south of Mineral Wells.

[jennyfit]

North Richland Hills, where you saying you're in Mineral Wells now?

[saling4]

No I left there about 10 years ago. In Las Vegas now.. I do miss the open room that was around the ranch sometimes.

[jennyfit]

I can't really image I've always been in the city parts of texas, fort worth/dallas. Not much open space around there.

[saling4]

Too bad, Going out into the country can be quite an eye opener. Oh well, Glad to see you getting through week 1. I assume you will be doing it again next week.

[jennyfit]

Most definitely! will be posting tomorrow's results first thing Monday morning.

Just finished second week D1.I completed 8 rounds with good form.Time ran out in the middle of the ninth I finished it too. I was able to go the full 20 minutes this time so I feel really good!

[saling4]

Good job. I am staying with L6 tis week since I was happy with form on D3. Keep it up!!

[jennyfit]

18.5 minutes.

Realized that the first time I wasn't doing the squats correctly, so I went slower this time.

[saling4]

Good job jenny. Slowing down is a good thing and is something i nned to do. I found in my Tri training that no one is paying me to do this so "slow down, Do it right, HAVE FUN" is the main thing.

I think level 6 will have to be a part of my 5 year plan, but it sounds like you're doing really well to be doing that day 3 in under 5 minutes. Kudoes to you. I'm loving this. I can already tell i'm stronger than when I started. I'm going to get me something sturdy to stand on soon to practice negative pull-ups. Also workin' toward a full push-up, but I didn't have to finish any reps out on the wall this week so far. Looking forward to thursday.

[saling4]

Good job. Remember that a way to improve your push ups is to just get into the position and hold. I think you will see a big improvement when you start to practice the negative pull up.
