Not that anyone would ever say that, but if they did, I can actually do it now!
This week I didn’t do much exercise really. I did some light cardio on a few days, but mainly I wanted to concentrate on cleaning the house, and it seems I always use exercise as an excuse not to clean, so I gave myself a week off.
Instead I wanted to test myself, to see if I’ve actually gotten any fitter since starting my quest.
On New Years Eve, I could only do 8 pushups until I was exhausted. And to be honest, they were lame pushups. I couldn’t do a proper one at all.
But on Wednesday I did 20 perfect pushups! In a row! With no break! Okay, at the end I almost collapsed, but so what? I DID 20 PUSHUPS! I’ve never been able to do that! My next goal is 30 pushups in a row!
As for sit-ups, I could only do 15, and I really don’t remember what I was able to do before, so I can’t compare that. Same with squats – I did 20 in a row, but I have nothing to compare them too.
So my new mini-goals are now: 30 pushups, 20 Sit-ups, and 30 Squats. I’d like to add Chin-ups to the mix, but I have no-where to do them. They’re an exercise you need equipment for, and I have none.
Next week I want to get back into doing more vigorous exercise, as I think I’ve been too light on myself these last few weeks. But overall I’m still feeling good, and it’s obviously doing me good since I’m still improving, so I’m happy.
