Whats with the change from 5 to 8 sets. Arms dont work.

I found sometimes I was better in the morning and other days my arms were stronger in the evening after they’d been used during the day (warmed up!)

Get your other blog friend to watch my first video! If ever something denotes ‘pick yourself up and try again’ I’d say it’s fairly clear!

The other 2 aren’t sharing their progress, although my friend said he was in Week 3 and felt faint. I guess he is silly enough to save them till the evening when he is properly tired and often hungry. Hah. I do them first thing in the morning.

I did Day 3 today. Good form pushups are very hard to do – and sweaty! – so I think repeating every day of the programme will help. The progress is more gradual and long-lasting.

Another blog-friend in India started to do it, but I think he over-estimated his fitness so he could not follow through. Interesting psychology. Instead of going down a notch, we give up!

Thanks for the idea

I have just done Day 2 and I am doing good form push-ups (no bent knees). My immediate gain was that the pain at the nape of my neck vanished. I also plan to do this with repeats. So I will repeat every ‘day’ twice. Which means it will take me 12 weeks if I keep this schedule.

Apart from you, another blogger I read and a friend are also doing this challenge. I am keeping track of mine on Twitter. Lets see how we all fare.

Enjoy Scotland. See you when you get back.
