    Day 8 20,027
    Day 9 14613 (my after-work days are going to be busier this week, so the count will be closer to the 13k / 14k range)

    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
    10/08 sleep won over exercise
    11+12/08 had my niece for the weekend, no time to do this
    13/08 right back at it kpu 10+12 , sq 120 , su55, 45sPoH 30sPoE
    14/08 kpu 15+9+6 , sq 120, su 40+20, 50sPoH 50sPoE
    15/08 rest day
    16/08 skipped
    17/08 kpu 15+10 , sq 130, su 40+10 , 60sPoH 18sPoE
    18/08 travel day
    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.
