Not been doing so well on holiday...

01/08 kpu 10+10, sq 40+60, su 20+15, 30sPoH 15sPoE
02/08 kpu 15+10, sq 100, su 20+20, 30sPoH 15sPoE (and some serious doms from boxing class on Tue eve)
03/08 rest day
04/08 kpu 15+15, sq 125 , su30+20, 30sPoH 20sPoE
05/08 went to a boxing class which left me almost dead, so no other exercises for me today
06/08 I am so sore, I cannot move
07/08 kpu 10+5 , sq 30+30 , su 20+10 , 40sPoH 20sPoE - still sore in one thigh and all upper body, but did go for a quick run today. More boxing tonight
08/08 did a load of push ups during boxing class last night, and my arms are jelly this morning. I think it'll take a few weeks to build up strength so I can do my exercises at home after a class.
09/08 kpu 10+10 , sq 100 , su 50 , 30sPoH 40sPoE!
Seems like the order in which I do things makes a difference to my stamina

19/08 kpu 12+6, sq 130, su 50, 45sPoH 20sPoE
20/08 no exercises
21/08kpu 0, sq 50, su 0, 315PoH, 30PoE - after a 45mins run, i wasn't really trying to do anything...
22-27/08 no exercises, holiday and then visitors at home (in the living room, where I exercise)
28/08 no exercises, boxing class tonight, if I remember, I'll count the push ups and

Hey, you got some movement happenin' in between travel days .... and taking time out to visit is very important! It's all part of "total quality of overall life balance".

29/08 none, rest this morning and yoga tonight
30/08 need a proper rest day so I can push again one last time for august

New here but I'm trying to make my way to 100 straight push-ups by the end of the year.

Goals by the end of Aug:
60 push-ups
1 min planks (PoE & PoH)
40 squats
5 chin ups

I’m looking at this way late but love the goal and I think I may steal a page from your book for the start of September

Is there going to be a September pushup plank and squat challenge thread? I want to take another stab at the pushups and plank goals I neglected in August, and a check-in thread like this would sure help ....

You could always include "laps completed" here if you like.
