Old School Training Challenge

During last week I was in Spain on my friends stag party and whilst I was there with no access to a gym I decided to do around 250 press ups. This was achieved by doing 50 press ups to start off with followed by 8 sets of 25 to complete the workout. Well the results I obtained for just doing this simple Old School Training Exercise amazed me. I woke up the next morning with my chest, arms and abs really sore. The press ups had really given my upper body a fantastic workout. I lift weights but over the last few weeks I hardly get any muscle soreness the next day as I did from doing a quick 250 press ups.

This got me thinking why don’t I do something that incorporates press ups into my next body fat reduction challenge. To be perfectly honest with you doing press ups bores me to death. So this next challenge is going to be slightly shorter than the last one. It’s going to last4 weeks, OK now that we have got the time duration of the challenge lets tell you what is involved in the Old School Training challenge.

Its simple I will be doing 250 press ups and 250 sits ups using my ab machine. I was contemplating doing the sits up on a floor to make it truly old school. But I really like using this machine and in the past when I have used it, it really does hit my abdominal area. I haven’t trained my abs at all this year. So I’m feeling like it’s about time that I started to do some ab training. I will be doing the press ups and sits ups every other day. The chart below tells you every press up and sit up that I do whilst on the Old School Training Challenge.

Whilst on the challenge I will be doing three 30 minute high intensity interval training sessions on my exercise bike, every week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  This should hopefully help me even further to lose body fat. The Old school Training Workout will run from Saturday April 24th 2009 to Saturday June 6th 2009.
