Back into it
After a week of laziness, I'm finally getting myself moving again. Started yesterday with the pushups/situps drill again and managed a slight improvement to 52/60. The pushups are really deceptive. I always get through the first 30 in 30-40 seconds without feeling much of a strain at all, so I start thinking I'll be able to hit 50 by the end of the first minute. The next 10 really start to burn though, and without being able to rest in a relaxed position, it's a struggle for me to get too far beyond there, so I usually end up stopping before the end of the two minutes. For the situps, I usually feel like I could keep going for a while longer, so I guess I need to work on doing those faster.

Randy - I rest like crazy on the push ups so my numbers should be taken with a shaker of salt! I'll try it next time by staying in position. I do go straight through on the sit ups.
I think you can be forgiven for resting considering you're usually doing this drill at the end of a workout whereas I'm usually doing it to kick things off (or just do that alone) :)
