Automatically tells you what to do next, no tables required.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Update #1:  Weaklings unite!&lt;/strong&gt;

I had already been working through the pushups (second attempt, crashed and burned the first time some months back).  Finished week 1.

I did the initial test of situps and squats today.

So my initial tests were:
Pushups - 6
Situps - 13
Squats - 24

Notes: some broken ribs from earlier this year started aching during the situps causing me to slow it down and stop a bit earlier than planned there

At some point I will get a fitness spotter to ensure my form is correct, though the sites have good information, sometimes a person can see it better.

Hint: If you just barely make the next column in your initial test, as I did in my pushup test, start in the easier column.  You will feel better about completing the reps and you will stick with it.  You can always move up and feel even better!</description>
