Let's design one for us Kathy. I want pushups for sure. And keep it to about 10 minutes. We can add your planks.

    Last night I did some weeding when I got home. Have to eradicate those grape hyacinths! They are taking over.

    Got up and did 15 pushups. Going to do more tonight. When I started it was tough to get in 5. Now 15 seems easy.

    I’m going to get in upper body work as well. Will definitely continue with the push-ups and try to improve form and numbers while working on getting one in my toes. Need to work on those biceps and Triceps. I did a 65 sec plank. Exactly where I left off. Thanks for the encouragement.

    I also did some much needed weeding yesterday.

    I like this and will start tomorrow with my modifications. Today I did three sets of 15 pushups…still working on the one on my toes. A 12 minute upper body workout with concentration on triceps and 30 minutes on my recumbent.

    Nice going Kathy! Love the Push up on your toes. And yes, move that plank if needed. Hope moms follow up went well. I had a dinner engagement after work last night. So only got in 15 pushups at high speed. :smiley:

    Will get tonight's done when I get home. Garden is coming along nicely this year.

    I spent the afternoon with my bestie running errands. Even got steps in at the mall. Didn’t do the challenge today. Will get back to it tomorrow morning. Nothing like a little retail therapy.

    I had a server hang up! Grumble grumble. I love getting steps in at our mall. Wish it was large, but still good for all weather. Sounds like you had a great workout.

    I worked out with a friend on Saturday. One very similar to ours. So I am counting it. Kept at the Push ups on Sunday. Getting more on my toes. Keep moving Kathy!
