    I forgot yesterday, ugh! I will make it up today! I am doing A and honestly it's a little too easy because I'm doing modified push ups, lol but I can't do a real push up with good form for more than 2-3. Looking at B I'd probably struggle with the planks, unless I did modified planks. So I think I'm going to do both A and B. I already did day 1 of B the other day, so just need to make up the last 2 days.

    Maybe after I get through 30 days doing modified push ups for A, I can go back through it the next 30 days with real push ups.

    I took a nasty fall on my knees on Tuesday in the street (yes, I'm really graceful and potholes are apparently my nemesis), so my knees are currently very bruised and skinned up, so regular modified push ups are out. But, I've just started doing the push ups on the stability ball. I do the number that we are supposed to (A) in proper form, but barely get down, then do proper sets of modified to try and build up strength. I'm hoping by the end of this, I can do a proper form push up without modification!

    So far so good. I have never been good at push ups but I watched the video you posted above and really paid attention to my form. They were easier than I thought, but definitely not easy, lol. I've been working plank and plank ups into my workouts the last few months and that seems to have helped me a lot with push ups.

    Awh! Hope you are better soon. Kudos for using the stability ball!
