ChristArtist Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I wanted to put my body weight workouts here... haven't done any in ages. .. but this week I did knee push ups, knee planks, bridges, dips and air squats three times, increasing each day. I also did a one hour water workout that got in my walking, running, lunges and swims! I have missed exercising! I hope everyone can find something they enjoy, because doing exercises you enjoy, or to help you do what you enjoy, makes it so much more fun! I almost danced out of the pool!

That is a big woot.she was pretty shockedSent from my DROID RAZR using TapatalkI think you guys have done that for me! ;-)I'm. .... so touched, so amazed, and so humbled by Steve's comment. I feel so loved and appreciated. I want to level up to the person I want to be to help others level up to be the best they want to be! But I thought I was in the shadows and very few noticed. And that is ok. ... the ones I touch are the ones that count to me. But, I guess that visit at the bar and the dog sniff caught Steve's attention! ♡And I have been so blessed here to be touched in my heart by so many. ..I am not the same lady that signed on in 2012. That is a very good thing!Thank you Lycan Thom, thank you Wild Ross. THANK YOU WUFKAR. Thanks to the T4 group, the adventurers, rpg fanatics, shukar and 18 k in scouts. Participation in the nerdfitness community, with God's grace on my Life, has and is and will continue to change my life. You get out of this so much more than you put into it. I am abundantly blessed. I challenge anyone that reads this, do a 6 week challenge. .. find a group and make friends. Visit the chat.

I have some counter pushaways (pushups) to do for my PvP - I will add those here, later!The goal is 150 points of pushups - most of mine being counter pushups - in a week - 1 point per pushup.As of this morning - I am at 127 WITH A HUGE FALL TAKEN ON THURSDAY!!! This is the first time in my memory that I can remember a fall NOT putting me on bedrest, in a boot or sling, or set up for surgery!!! 4 Quote In His hands and Under His wings, Phil 4:13; Is 40:31; Jer 29:11 Adventurer by choice Link to comment

ChristArtist Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Folks wanting to start out with full on pushups? Do you have issues?I DID! I'M DOING PUSHUPS - DAILY NOW! but they are modified for MY issues! But because of a PvP, and an RPG fantatics challenge - I have been doing 150 points of knee pushups(1 point per, for me), counter pushups (1 point for me, IF I do knee pushups first), and wall pushups(.5 points?)Last week - I got my 150 points.This week - I am almost there.My 'earth downs' from my knees are a very small percentage of these amounts.I never thought I could succeed at this...and I'm almost to the end of week two! Moving on to a third week of push up variations...and I'm proud of myself, and thankful for the opportunities...but, has it had any effect? But I can tell you, from personal experience in the last two weeks - I have an area on my lower cervical spine that was bulging..you could feel it, IT WAS BULGING out!...and it has realigned in these two weeks. I feel as if I have this armor wrapped around my pecs, traps, and lats, and my arms feel stronger. My advice?Don't try too hard...starting small may just give you HUGE pay outs.It is for me!I need to remember to not despise small beginnings...a penny picked up 100 times = $1...and so on.A wall pushup done 50 times a day, 6 days a week, at 1/2 a point - puts me at 150 points a week.And, I CAN DO IT! 6 Quote In His hands and Under His wings, Phil 4:13; Is 40:31; Jer 29:11 Adventurer by choice Link to comment

ChristArtist Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 In light of this post about pushups for me, here are my woots today! 10 knee pushups!!! this is only getting better each day!Followed by counter inclines...and wall pushups later...building strength!!! And, in connection with small steps - bring large rewards eventually - I completed 10 azz to grazz squats - straight - confirmed by WildRoss! no knees involved(did remove my boot) - just my butt and hammies and maybe some quads...back was tight and straight. Not sure I could add weight or a bar...but, I'm so glad I'm able to do these again!!! Didn't bother the tendon in my left foot! ye haw! I'm just trying to encourage others...slow and steady and you will win YOUR race! 4 Quote In His hands and Under His wings, Phil 4:13; Is 40:31; Jer 29:11 Adventurer by choice Link to comment
