DAY FIFTEEN

Chest and back

Ta da!!! I made it to week three. Ha! It was made a little bit "easier" with my health issues last week, but nonetheless, here I am.

I totally brought it this morning. I picked up some push-up stands a couple weekends ago, and this was my first time using them. Wow. They make a BIG difference - the range you can get is huge. And I'm still doing modified push-ups (from my knees).

There are "decline" push-ups in the workout. You put your feet on a chair and then do your push-ups. They are HARD. So, I quickly learned that the more of my leg I placed on the chair (I was actually using the couch) the easier it became. Even then - they are still hard.

Then there are these other ones "dive bomber" push-ups that are EVEN HARDER. I know, right? You didn't think it could get worse from even doing standard push-ups... Anyway, these ones, you have wide arms AND wide legs and you start with your butt in the air, and then go low towards the ground like you're trying to get under a fence... and then you push yourself back up... The whole thing is like you're in a smooth motion getting under a fence, and then coming back through... Tom Cruise probably used this move in Mission Impossible... H.A.R.D. When I am totally rockin' them, I'll be sure to share. But for right now, I was impressed that I finished 10 of them this morning!

With Daylight Savings Time coming in effect yesterday, I am really feeling it today. It will be an early night tonight, boys and girls. And tomorrow will be an even earlier session so I can visit my homeopath before work!
