Karen, if you want some recommendations for DVDs, I have tons and would love to make some suggestions

Yesterday, I only had a triceps workout scheduled, but I wanted to add some cardio since I knew I'd be eating out and having delicous dessert, so I subsituted Cathe's 4 day Split Bootcamp workout, which is 30 min of plyo drills that are pretty much HIIT, and then a 30min bi/tri workout. I just skipped all the bicep work. Super fun workout!

I've been reading in so many places (including here!) about the 100 push ups challenge, and I'm thinking I want to try it. I have a question: I just tried the test, and I can do 35 push ups. Do you think I should skip ahead and start on week 3 or 4? It seems like if I just start with doing 10 in week 1, I'm not going to be challenging myself. What do you think?

Wednesday's Workout:
Triceps:
Dips 1x12@bw
DB Seated Overhead Extensions 1x12@10, 1x10@15, 1x8@20, 1x6@25
Lying Extensions BB 1x8(2-0-6)@30 (increase this)
Lying Extensions DB 1x8(2-0-2), 1x4(4count pulse)@6s
Dips 1x8@bw, 32pulses@bw
Close Grip Pushups on High Step @bw
Single Arm Press Down resistance band 1x16, 4x7pulses @medium
Kickbacks resistance band 1x16, 2x7pulses@medium

Cardio: 30min plyo HIIT drills
No, start at the beginning....the goal is to get you to do 100 CONSECUTIVE push-ups. Set 5 of every day is your max set, so you'll still get to crank them out.
