SimplyViki Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I finally managed a whole, real (as in, not with my knees on the ground) push up! I've been working on it since November (doing the beginner body weight workout), and I FINALLY got it.Actually, I first managed one this past Saturday, but I only managed one. I was a little flabbergasted and didn't quite believe I'd actually done it, so I tried to do a second one, and couldn't do it. So I didn't entirely believe myself that I'd actually done it.Tried again during my workout on Monday, and couldn't do it again. I blame Monday!Then yesterday I did two in a row! And then in the next circuit I did one more! And then in the last circuit, I did another two in a row. I can do real push ups now! Woooooot!! Quote Link to comment
