FIT Push up and Sit up Challenge: Week 1 Goals & Levels

Today is the start of our Push up and Sit up Challenge and I posted the first week's goals on facebook, but I wanted to document them somewhere easily accessible with a unique link. 

Rules:

• Allow yourself 1-2 days of rest during the week.  You can choose the day.  Just complete the challenge 5-6 days out of the week
• Perform full push ups (not on your knees).  If you are unable to perform 1 push up, contact me via facebook and I will provide you a personalized challenge for the month. Same goes for anyone unable to perform 5 reps.  If you are unfamiliar with the proper push up form, click here.
• Perform full range of motion sit ups, not crunches.  Click here to view how to perform a proper sit up.

Level:

• There are 5 different levels that will cover most fitness levels.  Please contact me using the link under Rules if your fitness level is not covered.
• How to determine your fitness level
• Perform as many push ups as you can in one set (without break and to fatigue). 
• Use that number to find your level. 
• The level you find for week 1 will follow you through out the entire month of the challenge.
• If you have any questions about your own fitness level, please feel free to contact me.
