Hundred Push-up
Well, I have been thinking about this for a while since, I had a young man visit my site and mentioned he was doing this. It looked very interesting. I am not good at push-ups at all. I can do the modified ones like all day but the standard push-ups seem really difficult. I have been working on my upper body in order to improve my push-ups.
So, today I decided I would jump into the challenge. This challenge is suppose to have you be able to do hundred push-ups in 6 weeks. What is it with these 6 weeks things. Okay, I printed out the test and took it.
I could only do 10, I really thought I could do more, but if I did it would have put me in a bracket that I know is too hard. So, 10 is good. More than I have ever before.
Now, not sure if you are suppose to wait to start the initial workout, so I decided to try this workout today. I started after I finished teaching my Body Chizel class. We had already done 20 push-ups in class, modified of course, and we did regular bench press and wide chest presses. So, what was I thinking when after class and everyone was gone, that I thought I could do these push-ups.
I thought I have better do them now because if I wait then I know I will not do them.
Guess, what I did the bracket I was suppose to and at the end I was suppose to max out at 5 but I did 6. yeah me!
I think I should be good for Wednesday. I should do these push-ups first thing in the morning when I am fresh and not after I already worked out. Then again, that is what I should. Well, I will mix it up and see what happens. It doen’t hurt to try.
Hey, if you are looking for a new challenge, come try the hundred push-up challenge with me. A small goal for the new year. Hey, now don’t forget about your eating-clean routine. Want those abs to show through then, you are going to have to eat-clean. NO more junk!
So, check out http://www.hundredpushups.com/ you can be added to the list with me. Pkayfit.
Good Luck. Let me know how you are doing. I will do the same. See you at the end of the week, I will let you know what happens.
Doubles Week
I switched my routine from the Power 90x lean routine to Power 90x Doubles routine. why? Well, because along with my eyesight I have lost some brain cells along the way.
I thought with every cell in my being that I needed to push my self and add more cardio to my regimen. I do, really, if I want to get rid of the stuff that is covering what many have told me is the rectus abdominis aka six-pack to show, then I am going to have to do more cardio. Yuck! I hate to run. I don’t have time to go to the base and get on the spin bike or treadmill. I know I have said this before in the “What was I thinking” post. Why can’t I just shove an enama up my you know what and just get it over with? No, I couldn’t do that, I guess I will just have to eat bushels of apples, or is that bundles of apples?
Well, I have gone running twice this week. Two times too many this year. I feel alot better and my shins are aren’t talking to me as much. I guess that is good. Now, I was suppose to do my chest, shoulders and triceps on Monday also, but man I was really exhausted after my workout in the morning class. We really did work hard and I did not really want to because I knew I was suppose to do the Power 90x routine. I put it off. So, now I am behind and I did the routine today after my evening classes, which no one came for on Wednesday. Now, I will have to do the back and biceps tomorrow which was suppose to be just YogaX. Well, I have two Yoga classes to teach on Thurdady, so I will do those and figure out if I want to do the back and bicep routine after I have lunch with my friend. You know priorities. :)
I think I will do a little jogging tomorrow again, not too bad so I will keep it up. I will do my back and bicep routine. I really need to get my push-up routine going as well. When am I going to have time for all this blogging and working out? Urgh!
I do have a dead line and I am sticking to it. Just apples and yogurt. Oh, and I found an awesome protein drink too. it has a cinnamon taste to it. I love cinnamon.
No excuses.
