I am happy because I did every push up on my knees with my back straight this time. Last time I went through the challenge my arm strength/back strength wasn't strong enough to do them all that way before and I ended up doing them without keeping my back straight (basically bending at the waist - which help build up arm muscles but didn't do a thing for my core). So yay! I'm doing a modified push-up correctly!
And yesterday, in addition to my normal workout I also did 2 hours of hammering and chiseling up the linoleum floor in my parent's old kitchen.

ReplyDeleteYou are doing specatular!!! Modified push ups can be hard to master, it took me a few to get them right too. I'd love to be able to do them 1 handed one day like in the Rocky movies!

ReplyDeleteChest opener sounds painful
*laughs*
ReplyDeleteOh, I imagine that could sound painful. It's just a stretch for your arms and chest. It's actually feels rather good!
Push ups of any sort other than wall push ups are just the bane of my existence. I'm not a fan of them.
