Keep up the good work! The best exercise program is the one you perform
consistently and without injury, so whatever works for you is great. As
time goes on, you'll probably want to try exercises that are harder for
each repetition and of which you do fewer repetitions, but there is no
need to hurry in that direction if you're content and making progress.
Enjoy your success, report back when you plateau and need to try
something different.
