Desperate times...call for some effort!

Might give this a try this week.

Plus some kettlebell swings and step ups.

It's weekends that do it for me, maybe because I drink more, I weighed myself on Friday morning, 86.8 then after two days of sitting in the sun back up to 87.2.

A little challenge:

 

Leg raises to that give your abs a bit of a workout. Remember to keep your feet off the floor when Sally comes down.

Great idea, I'm going to do that too.

I did the push ups today at the end of my 1hr cardio (30 mins Cross trainer and 30 mins bike), only lasted about 1m 10secs before failing but was pretty tired after the cardio. Must do the raises like you say then too. I'm just going to keep doing this at the end of my normal training as an extra and try and improve each day.

Shortly after posting my abs started giving me grief just at the thought of it

1:52.

Doing a press up feels like a rest. I did twenty seconds better today, probably for only wearing a T-shirt and shorts. Next time, it is only shorts. Hopefully, that is enough, I do not want hideous images in your minds.

Good stuff, I completely agree. Just before the first minute there is a long hold when you have lowered and its a killer. You can imagine it being very good for you core too. I'm going to do it before my cardio rather than after the next time!

Push ups: based on the test it started me at week three but these are from knees only.

14, 18, 14, 14, 22

If they are proper knee press ups and you do as many as you can on the final set, then it is a huge success. Welcome to the club!

Thanks mate.  Good to have a different thing to keep me occupied, seems obvious now but it incorporates perfectly into the stretching routines I have on a morning!

Not really the progress I was hoping for. Just could not push up in proper form.

I did 1:23 without any other training today. Not quite the big improvement I was hoping for with no training haha.

It is tough. I was hanging in for the extra 30 seconds.

The long pause when lowered just before the 1 min mark kills me, I was shaking like a leaf after. Also did the leg raises to it too that Les Tonks suggested and they are tough as well, lasted about the same time with them.

That is tough just before the minute.
