    WONDERFUL!!! Remember this when your doing anything. just talk yourself into one more.. or five more... or just a few more minutes and before you know it you have annihilated a mile (or two...or THREE!) on a treadmill or pushups or what ever your working on. Keep at it hon your doing great!

    Congrats! continue to push yourself, set a standard and look to increase it after a week of doing that number consistently 3 out of 7 days that week. Your body creates new physical expectations for itself and your muscles adjust while recovering. Even if you can't do the same number the following week, try completing it in sets building your endurance level.

    Oh really? I might have to check that out! And you SHOULD try it out...you might just surprise the ****ens out of yourself!
    Girly pushups or regular pushups - its all HARD work!

    Yeah, I don't know if I'll be able to do 60 again next week but I can definitely put them into sets and work on it that way! thanks for hte info!
