Great blog; been doing it a week; it's just the right amount of time/intensity/variety for me.
There's a woeful lack of comments, though; how about it people? Post your results here!
Pullups: 12
Situps: 33
Pushups 37
Squats: 45
Pullups have improved. Situps and pushups are holding steady. Squats need to go up.
Intense cardio: rowing machine.
2,200 meters
