Exhaustion Test

So I started the Push-ups/Squats/Situps Challenge today with an exhaustion test, to try to see what level I belong to.  Turns out Cindy Whitmarsh’s abs workouts on Exercise TV have done me a whole bunch of good, because I managed to do 100 situps in one set (N.B. – the “situps” recommended by the 200 [...]
