I'm pretty motivated to get into a fitness routine from being fairly out of shape and I know that I do best when there's an ambitious goal that I can cross off my list on a daily basis. What do you all think about the following plan on alternating days for eight weeks with one day of rest? This would be completed alongside the eight-week Couch to 5k.
Weeks 1 and 2:
Day A: planks totaling 1 minute, 40 crunches
Day B: 15 squats, 25 modified push-ups, 15 dips, 15 rows
Weeks 3 and 4:
Day A: planks totaling 1.5 minutes, 60 crunches
Day B: 25 squats, 40 modified push-ups, 25 dips, 25 rows
Weeks 5 and 6:
Day A: planks totaling 2 minutes, 40 crunches with light hand weights
Day B: 30 squats, 12 push-ups, 30 dips, 30 rows
Weeks 7 and 8:
Day A: planks totaling 3 minutes, 30 crunches with medicine ball
Day B: 30 squats, 20 push-ups, 30 dips, 30 rows
