I swear I use to do math better.

A few months ago I was watching the news in the morning and they had a lady that was from Boxing is for Girls. They asked her what everyone should do as part of their fitness routine. She said if you are busy just try to fit in 10 minutes of 10 squats, 10 push ups and 10 crunches. It's even more fun if you have a partner that you are trying to beat. Well Jake and I started to do this along with our friends Matt and Sarah. Sarah nick named it the 10 minutes of torture. Well tonight I decided to do it and instead of just doing 10 of each before switching I decided to do 1 thing at a time for the normal amount I usually accomplish. I usually get 8-9 reps but always multiply it by 3 since there are 3 things to do which gives me a total of 24 or 27 total reps of 10. Well tonight I don't know what I was thinking. I figured since I normally get 24 I should multiply that by 10. I did fine doing 240 squats but pretty much was dying on the pushups and crunches. When I told Jake what I was doing he explained how off I was on my math. So far I feel really good but we will see how I feel tomorrow. Sorry if this doesn't make any sense. Basically I did 160 more crunches, 160 more pushups and 160 more squats than I should have. O well, it felt great to accomplish it. Now I guess I have to keep it up.
