I am telling you, I can see some difference. Also, I was able to do proper pushups today. I could never do pushups! I was thrilled! Do planks help build the strength one needs for pushups...?2 -
to dewit
'Exercises such as the plank improve core endurance, which are critical for stability during a pushup. The ability to hold that classic pushup position is directly correlated to how long you can hold a plank and is an indicator of overall core strength.'
Found this online, I have never been good with pushups but will try ๐

Thank you, @lazycat2018 - you are lovely2 -
Thank you @dewit for the kind wishes; the surgery went well apparently, I came home after just 3 nights.
Still very sore and restrictions on what I can do - obviously no lifting anything heavier than a kettle, no standing for long periods, short walks. I have some exercises I'm supposed to do: pelvic floor exercises, pelvic tilts, both done on the bed - I'm afraid if I got down on the floor I would be stranded like an upside down beetle! I can just lift my bottom up in a tiny pelvic thrust - think putting your pants on lying down.
I do a lot of pottering around so my step count is up to about 4,000 a day, and I do some sitting arm exercises.
I did try turning over onto my tummy but it was too uncomfortable, so planks will have to wait. Perhaps I can join in again in February.
I'm going to look for seated exercises on Utube.
It looks like both @dewit and @lazycat2018 will achieve and exceed their goals - well done!4 -
Take care @lesdarts1800

@lesdarts180 : so happy you're reporting and glad to hear the sugery went well. Please follow the doctor's advice. You want on the long term to be able to do the things you like - waiting a little longer is usually better. If you hurry, you might have unwanted side-effects. If you can do a bit of planking, start at a lower goal. I am sure you'll still inspire all of us and this will still imply you're consistent. Just at a reasonable pace.

Well, I have! Did I mention that my son is planking alone, his style?๐
@jeffrey_ad, I need to thank you very very much indeed for this challenge! It keeps me sane when I have no time for workouts, though I had no idea what they were when I started. Gives me a good feeling about having accomplished something fitnesswise for the day.
Also, I managed to do pushups, for the first time ever! I often felt sad that I wasnt able to lift my shoulders from the floor, when I otherwise carried my boys on my shoulders even when they were 4!
Sorry for the long post. THANK YOU!2 -
