Had a hard workout at bootcamp this morning and the best Peloton ride I’ve ever had tonight. Was all set to use my rest day after stretching, but i just couldn’t do it. Got day 17 doubles done, but had to split them up into two sets of 33 with a 1 minute rest between the sets. Excited for bed!
Day 16 done the last few were a little shaky to be honest
And done…I may be able to do some off the knees as well now…
Day 16 done! I’m definitely splitting them into sets by now!
Sadly, I had a very bad flare up of my health probs and I am on meds since yesterday
So this challenge comes to an end for me here. I do hope to get back to gentle exercise in about a week or so, but I doubt I’ll be able to pick up on this challenge.
Good luck to all of you, keep on pumping!
Self care comes first. I hope you get to feeling better
Holy hell, day 16 done. I, too, think I’m going to have to start doing sets soon. My arms are jello but I must be getting stronger bc I only dropped to my knees like last 5 or so.
Ooooh try some. I’ll try tonight too.
I did 12 full ones, over the days amount on knees.
Dannnnnnnng. That sets the bar. I’ll try it.
Day 16, 2X31. With only a couple of hours in between the two sets, as this morning I had to rush to make it to talk therapy in time. I’m stronger than I thought but it does get ever harder.
Get well soon! Health comes first!
To add to @Jasty2 comment, you can also stand a step away, in front of a wall or kitchen bench, place your hands on it, then do push ups. Then take a step back as you get comfortable with it. This is how I started pushups before progressing to the ground variations. I had lost a lot of strength and become obese due to alcoholism. Glad for this challenge to keep me motivated. All the best!
Just saw this and jumping in today. Need to double up for the days I’ve missed!
Day 17 doubles done.
And double quotes, why not?
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations Book 6, #2
Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter.
Cold or warm.
Tired or well-rested.
Despised or honored.
Dying or busy with other assignments. Because dying, too, is one of our assignments in life. There as well: “to do what needs doing”
And another fantastic Shakespearean insult:
William Shakespeare, Richard III
Out of my sight! Thou dost infect mine eyes.
Used my saved rest day today, day 18 tomorrow!
I was feeling bad yesterday so I took a break.
Today I’m back, day 17 done (also yoga and full body kettlebell wo).
Day 17 woohoo!!
I did the same thing, my body was just beat up. I took a rest day from all working out. I’ll get back to it today
Twenty done on feet
Twenty on knees.
I’m basically an athlete now.
