I've been trying to follow the 100 push ups fitness programme, and also started the 200 sit ups one. However, I'm now stuck on day 2 of week 2 in the push ups one (I'm in the middle column).
For the initial test, I managed 13 push ups.
Since then, there's been a couple of the days I had to repeat, but I seem to have hit a brick wall where I am now. I'm close, but I can only get 11 push ups on the last bit for week 2 day 2.
I don't know why I'm not keeping pace with the programme, I just don't seem to be improving any more. I alternate days between the push ups and sit up programmes, and in the sit ups one I started about a week later but I'm already on the last day of week 2 and I'm progressing fine through that.
Any ideas on what I could do to improve my push ups or where I'm going wrong?
Also, how bad is how I am doing compared to the average would you guess? I actually used to be one of the people that was good at sports at school, although I think that was more my coordination that fitnesss... but still, I seem to really suck now. I guess it's because I havent' really exercised since going to Uni and I'm now in my third year, all I do all day is sit at my PC or read or watch daytime TV. As much as I'm glad to be living the dream I would still like to be a bit healther since I've noticed I feel a lot better when I do a bit of exercise...
