Introduction

This method is for the grossly out of shape and feeble. It allows your body maximum time to adjust to the strain.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need

  • A calender big enough to write in your progress.

Steps

1

Step One

This is going to sound incredibly simple and down right obvious, but the reason why no one sticks to a program is they try and take on too much to fast and burn out. Here's the easiest plan alive, follow the instructions, and in one year you will easily be doing 52 a day.

The sit up !

Start by doing just one push up, try and do it in good form, at the end of the push up hold yourself up on your hands as long as you can, go for a count of 60 (averages a minute)be happy with whatever the count, record it and try and beat it next time. You don't really need to go beyond 60 seconds unless you want to be a combat marine lol

The sit up !

Do the same thing for the sit up, only after you finish your sit up, pull yourself up half way and hold it, again go for the 60 count, keep a record of your progress.

Step Four

Start out in week one, doing one sit up and one push up, holding and counting like instructed. Once in the morning, once in the evening just before you go to bed. In week two do two push ups and set ups just like instructed, week three do three, etc. etc. At the end of one year you should comfortably be able to do 52 if you stick with this easiest plan!

Step Five

Just a little history, when I was little I had an uncle that traded horses. He could get under a full grown horse and pick it up and move it over! He was strong as an ox ! How did he get that strong? When a horse is born he would carry it around on his shoulders, as it grew bigger he'd lift it up every day and move it. His body acclimated to the gradual increase, and even in his 90's! He was slow, but if he got ahold of you forget it! He could easily lift you over his head and body slam you! lol So that's where this idea came from. It works! kickers

  • Be sure and keep a record of your progress.
  • After about six weeks it will become a habit you will enjoy doing.
