Ok, I was supposed to do 30/22/22/20/27+ yesterday. However, I was gone all day at a bluegrass festival and got home after 1am. I tried to catch up today. Managed 30/22/22/19 before I gave up. I’m simply NOT capable of this level of pushups. I’m going back to week 2 one more time. If I [...]

The goal Friday was 5 sets at 15/13/10/10/15+. I managed to meet the challenge, although I did have to cheat a tiny bit on the last set with a couple small rest periods. Needless to say, 63 pushups in 15 minutes when six days earlier, 17 all at once is all I could muster is [...]
I managed to complete the day 2 plan of 12/12/10/10/10! So, I’m still on target to keep to the six week plan. Arm wrestling, anyone???? ;-)
Ok, so I started this today, August 17th. With some trepidation, I did my initial test and going in, I thought seven to twelve would be fantastic. Imagine my surprise when 17 was my limit! Not bad for 43, overweight, and just starting to get back into shape via the Wii Fit. So, I start [...]
