Getting Started
Here we go!
We are going to do four basic exercises for 2 minutes each. The goal is to see how many reps you can get within the 2 minutes. Post your scores in the comments section. We will use this as a benchmark. In a few weeks we'll come back to it and do it again to check progress.
Good luck! There are links to some demo videos on the side of the blog. (not of me and David... sorry Erin, not yet). Some of the music on them is really annoying. Sorry.

- 2 minutes "max rep" air squats (Just like I showed you in PV - squat low so that the crease of your hip goes below your knees. Don't let your knees come in front of your feet.)
- rest 2 minutes
- 2 minutes max rep push ups (Only drop to your knees if you are unable to do a single military push up. Otherwise, do military push ups. Don't do half and half. Chest goes to floor, push up until your elbows are locked out at the top position. Linda, do knee push ups, military style will not be good for your toes. Erin do military style the whole time.)
- rest 2 minutes
- 2 minutes "max rep" sit ups (Lay flat on the floor, bend you knees, feet flat. With each sit up make sure your shoulder blades touch the floor and your hands touch your feet when you come up.)
- rest 2 minutes
- 2 minutes "max rep" chair dips :
- Sit on the edge of the chair with your feet together.
- Place your hands on the seat on either side of your thighs and keep your feet flat on the floor.
- Bend your elbows 90 degrees and lower yourself toward the floor.
- Straighten your arms, raising your body back to the start position.
