Interesting links, thanks. The one thing I am concerned about is the maintenance stage too. The 100pushups program is cool, but what to do afterwards? You can't do 100 pushups 3 times a week. That is why I am trying to learn about the options for maintaining a certain level of fitness when I get there, and why I chose a longer term goal of doing a triathlon. That gives me a year to figure out the optimal program for staying fit. Good to hear that you managed the first stages by keeping it simple, as that is the path I am on at the moment, good luck with figuring out the maintenance stage!
