joedog Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 She's cheating if she's pregnant. She doesn't have to get as low. Good job on hitting 23! You're on your way! joedog, level 15 Monk Current Challenge Link to comment

KathyD Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 That's great...keep leveling up. You should be able to reach 40 if not close by the end of the 6 weeks. Thanks, I can't imagine going beyond 25, but before I started I couldn't imagine doing more than 15 pushups. She's cheating if she's pregnant. She doesn't have to get as low. I didn't think of it that way. She is lifting about 20 extra pounds, but you're right; she doesn't have to go as far Told you you had more in you. Thanks for believing in me. It means a lot.

Kishi Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Nice! 36 push ups per minute, at that rate. Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
KathyD Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks for all the encouragement Teirin, sammyrulez and Kishi. I am pretty happy with my gains. I must say, I rocked kickboxing tonight. I didn't sit out a single pushup! First I did 20 regular pushups. Then we did some kicks and punches and ended by doing a pyramid. I did the first 10 pushups of the pyramid regular. Then did sets of 9,8,7,6,5,4, and 3 modified. I did the last two sets of 2 and 1 regular. Also, we jumped rope: 5 sets of 2 minutes. I was one of three people to take an actual rope, thanks to my practice in the garage. Kathy Level 2 MonkSTR 3 | DEX 1 | STA 1 | CON 1 | WIS 4 | CHA 0 Link to comment

KathyD Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Tough week last week. I didn't make it to kickboxing because I was really busy, but worse than that I didn't pull out the jump rope. Really, that takes 10 minutes. I think it was pitty induced as I plan for my son's bday party and christmas at my house. I am ready to kick weeks 5 and 6 in the butt!

joedog Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I didn't make it to boxing last week either. We can't fix last week but we can kick week 5 in the butt! I'll be checking in on you to make sure you're going to kickboxing! joedog, level 15 Monk Current Challenge Link to comment
KathyD Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Used my jumprope for 10 minutes yesterday! It's amazing how good 10 minutes of exercise feels after a week of inactivity and glutony. Kathy Level 2 MonkSTR 3 | DEX 1 | STA 1 | CON 1 | WIS 4 | CHA 0 Link to comment

KathyD Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Went kickboxing yesterday. There were only 2 of us besides the instructor so we used these ropes that hang from the ceiling. I think they were called TRX. Anyway, they were a lot of fun. Really worked my muscles. One more week. Here we go. Kathy Level 2 MonkSTR 3 | DEX 1 | STA 1 | CON 1 | WIS 4 | CHA 0 Link to comment

KathyD Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I hit 23 push ups in a row quite a while ago and can't seem to get past that. I hope I can squeze out a couple extra push ups to make it to 25, we'll see. Kathy Level 2 MonkSTR 3 | DEX 1 | STA 1 | CON 1 | WIS 4 | CHA 0 Link to comment

KathyD Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Went to kickboxing last night. We did our pushups in set of three and I managed them all with good form. I lost track of how many sets we did. It seemed like 20, but was probably more like 10. There was this cute older couple there for their first time. They weren't big excercisers and had to be taught everything - how to squat, lunge, do a pushup as well as all the punches and kicks, but they were having so much fun. It was very inspiring. We kickboxing girls had tons of fun cheering them on. Kathy Level 2 MonkSTR 3 | DEX 1 | STA 1 | CON 1 | WIS 4 | CHA 0 Link to comment
Kishi Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Working out with n00bs is fun. Really. Seeing their eyes light up when they get an exercise, and watching them start or progress in their journey is just a lot of fun.

joedog Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Back in the early 90s I was on a rec league softball team. There were several older women who had never participated in sports. They went through high school in the 70s when sports wasn't something that girls were supposed to do. It was so fun watching them get to experience sports for the first time. Sounds like a fun class! I know your goal is an unbroken set of push ups but 10x3 is still 30 push ups with good form! Nice work! joedog, level 15 Monk Current Challenge Link to comment
