Day 25 – Week 4 – 4 mins
Aha – the push up idea is spreading. One of my near and dear has decided he likes the idea of the pushup challenge as well. And as he has underfloor heating in the bathroom, he has decided that is the best place to partake in this particular form of exercise. I can see that being a reasonable incentive for keeping on with the push up challenge in the winter, when it is that much harder to get out of bed.
He says he did his four push ups this morning without it costing a great deal of effort, and is well primed to do more as our weeks progress. Lets hope the enthusiasm continues!
As for me – 4 minutes on the bosu and all is well and right with the world. I love knowing that I never need worry about having to form an exercise plan again, as it is all in hand and I am on track. Each day just seems to take care of itself now, as long as I get myself out of bed and into those exercise clothes. After that it is easy. Believe me – that really is the hard part. And you should listen to me, because I HATE EXERCISE, and somehow, I seem to be doing it! How about you? Are you struggling to do this each and every morning? If so – let us know what it is that is stopping you. I’ll bet we can find a way around that particular excuse or resistance, and make it happen.

Day 2 – Week 1 – 1 minute
Harder to get out of bed this morning. Isn’t that crazy? I only have to get up and do one minute, yet still there is resistance. But after 15 minutes of arguing with myself, I managed to get myself into the bathroom, weighed myself (146 pounds, 66 kgs) and got changed.
Today I did one minute of arm work, with a small medicine ball.
The plan is to alternate between cardio one day, and other stuff (like push ups, abs, arm and leg strengthening, squats etc) on the next. That way we get a good balance.
Then in the shower, and back into bed with breakfast and a cup of tea feeling virtuous. Who knew just one minute could bring such pleasure!
