Just a brief exercise update As of this morning, I'm at 13 real push ups and 55 body weight squats. For years I've done cheater push ups, from the knees. These are real deal, on the toes, push ups. And my quads are starting to complain at the 50 squat mark, but time for them to learn to deal with it.
I'm hoping that I can instill in myself some new habits going forward. I will admit to having missed a day or two. Like yesterday I did the push ups, but due to some exercise earlier int he day, my legs told me what to do with myself for squats. But that hasn't stopped the progression. Every day I add 1 push up and 5 body weight squats. Started with a baseline of 5 and 15 on March 1. Even if for some reason I don't do them on a day, those totals tick up for the next day. Tomorrow will be 14 and 60. The month should end with 35 push ups and 165 squats. That will be a major accomplishment for me.
If you've got goals, start small and build. If you keep building, even if it's small steps, you can eventually get anywhere.
