    Ok, I need this to keep me doing them and tracking. Haven't been doing daily, but will now. I've got 110 now so doing daily hmm I'll set it at 500 for the month for now. I might look at doing the planks too - We'll see. :smile:

    Zero for me this weekend. Have been swimming instead - have done 5.7km in the pool the last two days. Got an appt with the doctor on Friday to check it out if still no better.

    Any news from the Dr? I've been worried about you ....

    Still not getting them in every day, but I'm working on it. Decided against logging planks for now.

    If you are doing "pretty good" in comparison to your personal best, you are doing VERY GOOD! (or I would be in total despair comparing my pushups to yours .... and I don't even TRY sit-ups at this point ... although I stationary-bike these days

    I'm allowed to start knee pushups in a couple of days. Told me to lay off the full pushups for a while as he doesn't want the tear to turn into a hernia. And neither do I lol. The good news is I'm almost pain free while swimming which is my top priority. :blush:

    Started back today. Only doing knee pushups but discovered they can be just as difficult if you keep your elbows tucked in.

    51 today.

    Power outage due to tornado Friday evening to Sunday evening. That shouldn't have interfered with push-ups but somehow didn't get around to them. Back to work and back to discipline of push-ups today.
