Take up the challange. Do a 100 push-ups!

I’m a bit of pansy when it comes to upper body strength. I can cycle 4 hours with a smile on my face, but ask me to do 20 push-ups and I’ll fail miserably, let alone 100! I think I managed 15 the other day, which was an all time best.

A friend sent over the one hundred push-ups challenge this morning and I’m  like “Yeah right, a 100 push-ups. Never!” I’ve never tried a challenge such as this and since I’m waiting for my knee to recover, I think I’ll give it a go. Hell, I’ll be happy if I manage to get above 20.

Strength training

I’m busy moving, so I setup my weights again today and did a quick 20min all-round workout. The plan is to get the muscles around my knees stronger, so I can get cycling and running again. In the process I’ll do a bit of upper body stuff too.

Oh, and my bike went into for a new fork on Saturday and I’ll get it again on Tuesday.  It’s going to be hard not to go for a ride. Perhaps just a quick 10km or something…

Upper body workout

Damn, I’m so stiff from yesterday’s strength training session. I focussed on legs only. So I’m a bit numb. I’m still planning on doing a run tomorrow morning… lol. Going to be fun to see how that works out.

Tonight session focussed on the chest, shoulders, arms and back.
