25 girl push ups but only 8 regular push ups
10 sit ups with legs held down

I don't think she can pass the vertical jump though.

What are some programs to help improve the push ups, sit ups, and improve vertical jumping?


push ups: a lot of girls i know tried this: http://hundredpushups.com/
seems reasonable enough and it's a form of progressive overload (for weaklings)

sit ups: crunches (many as can be done x a few sets x 2-a-day) until able to do more ab work

vert: i know a lot about vert increase. in 2 months ... well normally vert goes down or stays the same for a while before it goes up, but she should actively work on her p-chain in a typical exercise regimen. additionally, burpees (may even help for push ups and sit ups) are a good diea. if she's in reasonably good shape, squat hops and other varients of easy plyos should help. maybe depth jumps and box jumps, but unles she's structurally ready she may as well work on strength and ability. skipping isn't bad for jump conditioning. it may not get her vert up all that much but it should foster some neuromucsular facilitation -- i.e., can't hurt in the short-term.

i have to achieve all of those but i'm a male in the army
i started being able to do
30 push-ups
70 sit-ups
and a 20 minute two mile

i now have
70 push-ups
93 situps
14minute two mile

everyone I've met in the army always has said, for push ups is you just got to do them every day.
1 set in the morning 1 set in the afternoon and 1 set in the evening try to max each set. go for a full 2 minutes of pushups even if you have to use your knees.

situps i do a daily 300 crunches every day. 100 in the morning 100 in the afternoon and 100 before bed. if you dont like doing crunches do unassisted sit ups to gain core strength.
I wouldn't recommend creatine for these goals. and running (cardio) on pre work out has always affected my heart.
for running do 60/120's or 30/60's ( 60 second sprint 120 seconds of walking) (30 seconds of sprinting 60 seconds of walking). DO NOT eat for a least 1 to 2 hours before this or you will see what you ate again.
keep me updated

Edit/ for vertical jump
Squats with bar and leg press explosive with your max.
