Wanna get fit?
Only got 20 minutes a day?
Use the 20 Minute Fitness Solution website to get yourself sorted.
They are covering the push up challenge, including a nice little reminder on the right which tells you how many you should do each day and how many you've done in total (assuming you're keeping up!).
Got some new scales yesterday.
Seems they register my weight as a bit higher than my old ones, 13st 4lb instead of 12st 12lb. Not good! THat puts my BMI at just over 25, instead of just under :(However they also have a body weight thingy, and my body fat is down at 14%, which sounds very impressive. Have to see how this pans out over time however.
Well, for the first time I forgot to do my pushups yesterday, so had to do 35 today instead of 17 yesterday and 18 today - that was tough :)
We'll we've passed a milestone of sorts, 15 days into the push up
challenge and half way through January it all seems to be going well. I
feel stronger than I have in ages, and the only reason I don't seem to
be losing any weight (12st 12lbs for the 3rd month running) must be
because of all the muscle :)
After reading a post by Dan Ciruli about his last year resolution being to do 1 pushup and 1 situp on the 1st January, and increasing by 1 per day till you're doing 365 of each on 31st December I decided I'd give it a go.
Well, so far its going very well - ok, so its only the 9th January, so only 9 of each to do, but on days I go to the gym I'm not restricting myself, so last night managed 50 push ups and over 250 crunches (of various kinds).Wish me luck :)
