It's important to set small, attainable goals along your way to some larger goal. For me, that larger goal has been with me for at least 12 years. Up until I was about 16 or 17 I wanted to go into the military. Some time before that I found a fitness program online that was desiged to help people prepare for BUDs training. The program consisted only of push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, dips, running, and swimming. The running I always knew I would be able to achieve with enough time. And the swimming I was pretty confident in, but I grew to doubt that the body weight exercise routine was possible. And there lies my goal, to achieve that which I'm not even sure is possible. I've posted the details below.
Run 6 miles is under 40 minutes.
Do the following bodyweight exercises with no breaks in between. In other words, go from push-ups straight to sit-ups, straight to pull-ups, straight to dips, then right back to push-ups... and so on until all the sets are done. This is the part that seems impossible to me. But the person that could do it would no doubt be one fit individual.
Pushups: 20 sets of 20
Situps: 20 sets of 25
Pullups: 5 sets of 12
Dips: 20 sets of 15
Swim freestyle fort 75 minutes.
My end goal ups the difficulty a bit by making it madatory that I go straight from running to the body weight exercises, then straight to swimming. If it is possible I know I can achieve it. We will know in a couple years.
