Question about working out?

i've been working out for 5 weeks now. When i started the most push ups i could do in a row was 25 and the most sit ups were 40. Now the most push ups i can do in a row is 45 and most sit ups is 70. Is this good improvement? I'm currently doing 200 push ups and 200 sit ups per day, am i not doing enough? should i be doing more?

Well done, you have really shown a great deal of strength improvement.200+200 is terrific, but let me ask you, are you just doing the same routine each time? Just adding more reps, but without any new routines?
You have to move on from here. Just go to You-Tube and check out Push Up Variations. There are endless push up variations and now is the time to learn them all - spider man, elevated, diamond etc.

Let me challenge you to master the 1 hand push up, or the handstand pushup. That is almost the ultimate pushup! Regarding the situp, the CORE exercises are more powerful to sculpt and develop your 6 packs. So again, go to YouTube for Core Exercises. Stuff like planks, side planks, V situp, Russian twist, will come up. These are superior to normal situps.

If possible, find somewhere you can pull yourself up. Balance your body with pulling after all that pushing. Muscular imbalance can create problems years down the line.Don't neglect stretching, OK?

Stretch and warm down after the strenuous pushing.

Drop a line when when you have conquered the one hand pushup, bye!
