Alcnedlor Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Plank jacks were surprisingly easy. At first I was afraid... Quote Link to comment
ChanceRandom Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Did the Wind Shield Wipers last night, with extra credit. My kids thought they were hilarious, and joined in. Do I get extra, extra credit for finishing while laughing!? 3 Quote Link to comment
Morag Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I recruited my kids to count my plank jacks for me. That way it'd harder for me to quit. I did this because I too was afraid. But sadly sinus infection made them not easy for me AT ALL. But I pushed through, with EC. And now finally my breathing returns to normal.

Morag Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Done 400 backfists as instructed 200 one side then 200 the other. Did not expect to get it all done with EC, but I did. Heavy arms now.

Alcnedlor Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 The 400 back fists were quite the challenge... I would have loved involving my children to help me count but it would have taken the whole day :-) The leg raises where done with EC but I have to confess that the position was not really orthogonal. I don't think I'm able to stay 2 seconds square, something I'll have to work on more 1 Quote Link to comment

Were you worried abut face planting? I can't seem to get over the mental hurdle of lifting my hands off the ground. How did you work up to them. Just saw this and thought I'd make a suggestion; have you tried starting with hand release push-ups first (i.e. push up explosively so your hands leave the floor but keep them under your shoulders)? This way you can get used to the motion first without a risk of face-planting. To be honest though I think you'll find your sense of self preservation is pretty strong, so if you can get your hands even an inch off the ground you'll find time to clap. ===== Also, after missing about a week and a half I'm finally back, and push up plank done with EC.
