I often look at people doing strong workouts and with correct form and am filled with admiration for them. I tell myself all it takes is practice. That’s great advice if you follow it.
Coming off of half a year of wrist injuries, I decided to jump into practicing what I admire. My goal is simple – get 10 pushups done each day outside of workouts. I also want to be able to work towards good pullups, but that will take a little more planning. I am in this challenge with a friend whose goal is to do 25 pushups a day. We are hoping to encourage each other and make sure there is accountability. Day 9, and going strong. I think I should have a sign modeled along the lines of factory signs — “0 days since a missed pushup”.
There are days that end before you know it. It could be because of a variety of reasons – sickness, work, others’ sickness, errands. But here’s the deal. No matter how busy your day is, getting 10 pushups done in a day is always possible. Accomplishing a goal, some goal, some goal accomplished that’s not too time-intensive is doable by all. It’s different for different people. I feel it is especially nice to have a simple goal on a busy/frustrating day. Even if everything else goes down badly, you’ll know you have checked one thing off your list!
What’s your simple goal?

Mike and I should be doing something similar so we are ready for a 5 day canoe trip this Spring. We can do a set of push presses twice a day between now and then so the oars feel lighter on the river.

It’s even more fun to do it with someone. With all your upcoming adventures, this should be worth the time 🙂
