well the key is deffinitely to do them in sets i do 200 pushups/situps every other night...how i do them is sets of 20 and i keep counting till i have reached 400 (200 ea) so to put it into yur little formula x number of sets=200 divided by 20(sorry no calculator on me) and x amount of reps per set=20 if you cant do the full 200 a night then do 100 a night and work your way up it shouldnt take too long
:) good luck
It all depends on your level of fitness. There is no set number that fits for every person. If you do not do any push-ups, then you will not be able to do the same workout as me. Start with a small number like 10, making sure you are doing them in perfect form (back stays straight, you go down far enough that your elbows equal or break a 90 degree plane, head and neck straight in line with your spine, inhale going down, exhale going up). If you can knock out 10 in perfect form, then you need to up the number - its that simple. Try 20. If that is easy for you, try 30. The point is just do them, one push up is better than zero. Generally, most people find crunches easier than push-ups, so try just doubling your push-up number for your crunch number. Adjust as needed.
There is no magic number.
The following is a great situp/pushup routine, and it must be done DAILY to get great results:
SITUPS (actually, DON'T do situps, DO CRUNCHES)
- 10 straight forward
- 10 curling to the left
- 10 curling to the right
done with NO pausing
followed immediately with
- 50 scissor kicks with your legs raised not higher that 6 inches from the floor, while remaining in a crunch position
- followed immediately by 50 straight leg raises, this time never letting your feet contact the floor
- pause 10 seconds and REPEAT entire routine
- pause 10 seconds and REPEAT entire routine
PUSHUPS
- hands directly under your shoulders, push up 20 times
- hands spread apart, push up 20 times
- hands shoulder width but a good 12 inches forward, push up 20 times
- 10 second pause, repeat
- 10 second pause, repeat
Increase or decrease actual numbers as your fitness level dictates. Maintain an honest workout ethic. Don't baby yourself. Work hard.
