Like I promised, I started the hundredpushup challenge this past Monday. My test put me able to start at week 3, and I should have been in the last column, with the hardest workout. knowing myself as i do, i started in the second column, with the middle of the road workout.
it goes like this: there are 5 sets. 60 second rest between sets. set 1)12, 2)17, 3)13, 4)13, 5) max (at least 17). well, i did just find up to the last set, and my max was 16. i was a shakin and a quakin, trying to push the bedroom floor into the basement. but only got 16. and a shady 16 at that. prolly best to say 15.
at any rate, i missed yesterday because i was...ummm...not paying attention. then i intended to do them this morning, but i was...ummmm....forgetful. and cuddling with B on the couch, using him as a pillow (very giggly, bumpy, wiggly pillow!) before I left for work.
so mebbe tonight.
ran 4 miles on the dreadmill last night while Z was at practice. i hate that thing.
I used to do pushups all the time and that was the best shape my upper body had ever been in. I think regular pushups worked better than weight lifting for me. Great for the core as well!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get off my butt and start doing them again.
Candice: well, then! get back in it! being an RN has really made me NOT want to end up like most of my patients.....so.....pushups and running it is. for now. thanks for the comment!
