First workout

I thought I'd post my actual workout for a couple of reasons. It'll make me stay accountable, so I actually do my workouts. And a couple people through e-mail expressed interest in getting in shape along with us (albeit without getting online). So this workout can be cut in half or modified, or done with a lot more intensity, depending on where you're at. One does the first round in the order it appears here then repeats the second round with the wide pull ups first and the standard push-ups second, etc. 45 second break every fourth excercise. It takes about an hour, then the ab workout is 15 minutes. (The first number is the first round, the second listed is the next time around)

Standard Pushups 10 /15
Wide Pull-ups 5 / 7
Military Push-ups 10 / 10
Reverse Grip Pull-ups 5 / 7
Wide Push -ups 10 / 15
Closed Grip Pull-ups 5 / 7
Decline Push-ups 10 / 10
Heavy Pants (weights) 10@ 30lb dumbells /12@30lb dumbells
Diamond Push-ups 10 / 10 (on knees)
Lawnmowers (weights) 10@35lb dumbells / 10@35lb dumbells
Dive-Bomber Push-ups 10 / 10
Back Flys (weights) 8@30lb dumbells / 10@30lb dumbells
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total pushups: 130 push-ups Total Pull-ups/Back excerises: 89 reps

Ab Workout: 10 excercises 15-20 reps each with a 40 rep "Mason Twist" as the tenth.

One day down . . . 149 workout days left . . . OUCH!

Hopefully these number will improve drastically over the next few months. My goals for this workout is to be doing 25 reps on each of the push-up exercises for each round and 15 reps on each of the pull-up exercises for each round. We'll see . . .
