For your first goal, did you mean pull-ups? It says that you're starting at 2 sets of 15 push-ups, but that your goal is a total of 16 push-ups over two sets, which you'd already achieved.

I was about to ask the same thing.

 

The TV/computer goal is admirable.  I wouldn't be able to hack it!

yup it is pull ups going to edit it, thanks for pointing it out would have overlooked it.

[SAYA]

what is it can't do the final pull up today also it was 3 and 2.5.

did 10 minutes of stretching.

ended up sitting in front of computer for 3 hr and 45 min ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, blaaaaaaaaaaaa.

will practice pk roll and landing tomorrow,

You may find it difficult to hit your pull-up goal.  It's a pretty big jump.  From my experience people have a lot of problems getting their first pull-up, making the jump from 1 or 2 to 5, and making the jump from 5 to 10 or so.  Seems like it would be easier once you've got your first few, but that is not the case for most people!  Definitely keep working at it though.  It's only a matter of time if you stick with it!

goal 2: jumping up the stairs precisely (4th step), jumping from one edge to another precisely (almost 1 meter apart), doing rolls (ryan doyl video progression 1), landing smoothly after jumping from 2 ft height, but lagging behind the time target

goal 3: just one word greattttttttttttttttttttt ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i love stretching and flexibility exercises ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, adding backward bent will take it slowly

[SAYA]

Good to hear that your TV/computer time goal is getting easier!

goal 3: just one word PERFECT

goal 4: going great ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, very close to my limit that's why such short update 

[SAYA]

THIS IS HOW THIS JOURNEY ENDED .............................

 

Goal 1 : total of 16 pull ups in not more than two sets, reps in each set not a concern.

Result : did total of 12 pull ups, 2 sets of 6 reps. 12/16*100 = 75%

Reason : mainly a strain in the left elbow in the second week, and it reappeared in the fourth week after healing a lot.

 

Goal 2 : will practice any or all of pk roll, precision jump and landing for 2 hours  three days a week.

​Result : it meant 6 hrs every week. completed the target only in second and third week so 2/6*100 = 33.33%

             the total time was 2hr 45min + 6hr + 6hr + 3hr 30min + 0 + 0 = 18.25 hrs. so 18.25/36*100 = 50.70%

            so overall result is (33.33+50.7)/2 = 42%

Reason : well the main reason was the elbow strain. also i overrated my strength even these simple moves were painful. the last two weeks were zero because i had an exam on 7 April  and was getting too tired to study. 

 

 

Goal 3 : will do stretching exercise daily for 10 mins daily and will add 5 min every week.

Result : COMPLETED ,,,,,,,,,,,, 100%

Reason : i have fallen in love with stretching exercises. only thing is my side split and front split are showing 0 improvement. but then these things take their time.

 

Goal 4 : will bring my addiction of T.V and computer under control, i.e. will voluntarily switch them off if their is some important work to do and total T.V and computer hours daily will not exceed 2 hours. this will be the final goal and will depend on the performance of last three weeks.

Result : well missed only two days so overall it's fine. 19/21*100 = 90.50%.

 

ATTRIBUTES :

goal 1 : str: (75%*3) 2.25

goal 2 : str: (42%*1) 0.42, dex: (42%*1) 0.42, sta: (42%*3)1.26

goal 3 : dex: 4

goal 4 : cha: (90.5%*3) 2.71
