We started doing Convict Conditioning last night. Yeah, I know, dumb name, but it's a pretty good program. Basically, it starts you off with very simple versions of scary exercises and puts you through a progression that has you eventually doing the hard version. Last night we started on the push-up progression (last step: one-arm push-up) and the squat progression (last step: pistol squats). We started with Level One of the push-ups, wall push-ups. These were, of course, much easier for Noah than for me. We both managed the full number needed to move up, though, so we can do Level Two next time. We skipped Level One of the squats (shoulderstand squats) because I couldn't balance on my back like that. Level Two (jack-knife squats) were pretty hard. I did about half the progression standard, so I'll be doing them until I manage to do the full amount. Noah did the full number, but he's got some form/flexibility issues to work on, so he's planning on repeating them next time.
Numbers:
Wall push-ups 3 x 50
Jack-knife squats 3 x 20
