I’m happy to say that I recently completed the two hundred situps training program that I use as my worked example in the Seven Steps to a Change Plan videos. In the videos I talk about starting the program up again after not working at it for a while.
In total, it took me eight months, not six weeks, but I did complete it (perseverance is the ultimate secret of success). And yes, in my final “exhaustion test” I did do 200 situps. Not bad, considering I could only do 24 when I started.
Now I’m beginning my next challenge: 100 pushups. On my initial test I could do six, so there’s definite room for improvement there. I’m using the very funky iPhone app to track my progress this time, instead of the tracking website that a fan of the program created.
I think it’s always good to have a challenge. I’m not a marathon sort of person (I have a slightly dodgy hip), so something like this is both aspirational and achievable.
I’ll post again when I finish – hopefully it’ll be less than 8 months this time.
