I've decided to take on the 200 sit-ups, 200 squats and 100 push-ups challenges. Last night I did my initial tests to see what my levels are for the actual challenges.
Squats: 60
Rank: Excellent
Sit-Ups: 80
Rank: Excellent
Push-Ups: 7
Rank: Poor
Actually, the push-ups are ranked on a scale of 1 to 7 and I fell in level 2. However, I think that pretty much qualifies as "Poor". So, yeah, I knew my arms were weak piddly things, but this just confirms it.
On the other hand, lets hear it for my thighs and abs! I could have kept going for a bit longer on both the sit-ups and squats, but I knew I had already reached the top levels, so I stopped.
After I did the tests, I also did some arm exercises and tacked on some bicycle crunches and sumo squats for good measure. I have a feeling my thighs and abs will be screaming at me on Friday (it always takes 2 days for me to feel the full brunt of my strength training.)

Dang! That is awesome, Kelly!
So your arms could stand a little work...I think that's the case for most women, yes?
I am super-impressed!
Great job!!! Sometimes a challenge is all we need to get us going! :)
WOW! Good on ya Kelly. Impressive!
Ohhhhhhh, I like the sounds of this Kelly!!! :) You go girl!!!!!!
This sounds like a fun challenge, although, is it just me or does that woman's abdomen on the 200 sit-ups site looks kind of scary? Maybe I'm just not used to seeing muscles and ribs in that area:)
