The Weekly Health Challenge: Pushing Limits and Learning Squats

Note: I just recently learned some new stuff about working out - so I'm tweaking Level Two a bit. Enjoy!

The Weekly Health Challenge: Level One

Find out how many pushups you can do

When I say find out how many you can do, I don't mean you go until if you do anymore you'll faceplant on the ground. I want you to do as many as you can without your form deteriorating. That means keeping your back straight, and bending your arms the right direction, not letting your hips sag or stick up. Once your form starts to deteriorate, stop. That's your limit.

The Weekly Health Challenge: Level Two

Learn how to do squats with proper form

Find out the best way to do a squat (you can do your own research, or look here), and then practice three non-consecutive days of the week. Do a set of five or ten - just enough that you can feel your muscles start to get tired, but before your form suffers. It's very important to keep your body aligned and moving the way it's supposed to, or you could hurt yourself more than you help.

Extra Challenge: If you want something that's a little more difficult, do three sets of those squats, or three sets of pushups.
