New Health Plans

I have just downloaded the 100 push ups in 6 weeks program. Believe it or not, being able to do 100 push ups in one go has been on my personal goal list for as long as I can remember. So when the link was sent to me today, I thought - why not. Well you should know me by now, I do things because I can.

One of the main reasons is this - I need to be able to gain upper body and arm / shoulder strength for the pole dance classes that I do. Having gone back last night for the first time in a couple of months I have lost almost all of the strength I had - and there wasn't much I could do about it, torn forearm muscles do not appreciate being put under pressure. 

There are other reasons - including, I feel flabby. If I take a good and honest look and feel to the clothes that I am wearing, they feel tighter than they did - so I do need to up the exercise, intensity and variation. I have been walking and running since the injury - but obviously it isn''t enough to keep the entire body tone and the number of calories consumed vs energy expended on the right side. So - I confirmed it this morning - I have put on about 2-3 kilos in the same time. Which is disappointing, but not unexpected as it is winter here in perth and despite my good intentions to exercise 3-5 times a week - sometimes I don't. I've also been working flat out on a new training program and participants workbook - sounds like an excuse and I suppose it is, because as you know you always do what you want to do.

So, as usual I will keep you posted on the 100 pushup plan - go to 100 pushups if you would like to join in.

BTW - I managed to do 8 on the fitness test...
