Push-up / Sit-up Pyramid

Starting with 5 and increments of 5, build to 35 push-ups and immediately do sit-ups in between sets.  You can take no longer than 10 minutes between any pu/su set and once you start a set, you may not stop until you reach your rep number.  When you hit 35 reps, repeat and move down the ladder, again.

Ex:
5 push-ups, 5 sit-ups
rest
10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups
rest
.....
35 push-ups, 35 sit-ups
rest
35 push-ups, 35 sit-ups
rest
30 push-ups, 30 sit-ups
rest
25 pu/25su
rest
and so on.

Three pyramids over the course of the day.

Echo Three Juliet Golf:  Begin a stretching program.  Focus on the muscle groups you talked to me about this weekend and we'll progress with a structured program as you work on your mobility/flexibility.

Echo Two Mike: Make your meals smaller and add in a small snack between meals this week.  When you feel hungry, drink a glass of cold water before you go for food.  If your hunger is still there after the water, grab something to eat.  No processed food, no high carb foods, no high sugar foods.  Friday is your "cheat" day.
