OK, I just started this thing and it's apparently going to be 90 days of hell. But, as of the start of day 3, I am alive and hanging in there. If I figure it out, I will link my worksheet to this blog. It's a crazy complicated excel spreadsheet that lets you track your progress, weights and reps. Also, Loryn, my wife, took some "before" pictures which may or may not make it up here. Still deciding.
The program started on Friday night with Chest & Back, which consisted of a series of pull-ups and push-ups with a few dumbbell exercises thrown in. Surprisingly, I found I was able to do a pull up, although this was probably the only time since those fitness tests in grade school that I actually attempted one. I was able to do about 3 on my own and then had to use chair assistance. Most excruciating of the exercises, however, was the "dive bomber" push-ups. Here is an extremely ripped Swedish woman demonstrating proper form:

My form looked nothing like this. Also, I may have been weeping throughout. Anyway, I got through it. Total workout for Chest & Back was about 58 minutes. Most of these routines are about an hour, but I think the Yoga one is 1 1/2 hours. Awesome news.
