I've been a civilian for a long time now. For the first few years I was quite active and maintained relatively good shape. Lugging around a 25 pound bag of tools 8 hours a day will do that.
But these last few years, I've been strapped to a desk. And while mentally it is more tiring than a 25lb bag could ever be, I miss the physical work out and endurance.
Now when I was in the Navy I did pretty well for myself with just push-ups and pull-ups. Not much else to do when you are standing watch at the bottom of an air craft carrier. So when I ran across this:

it caught my eye.
I did the initial test and pulled off 21 push ups. Not bad for a guy who hasn't worked out in a few years. So, we'll see how I do. 6 weeks to 100 push ups. At my best I don't think I ever did more than fifty (not that I tried). I'll get back to you in about 6 weeks.
If this works, the next step is to take up biking again.
