I was flipping through reading some Spark People articles when I came across this trainer's blog post about doing push ups. Curious, I gave it a try... could I do 10 "real" push ups? I know I can do 50+ girl push ups in 1 minute. But could I do 10 consecutive boy push ups?
The answer is... YES.
I just did them. Good form, even execution. I can do at least 10. I stopped there because, well, I got out of bed to do them and I really wanted to get back in bed where it was warmer and I could continue doing stuff on my computer. But I can do at least 10.
So really, I'd like to be able to do at least 2 sets of 10. Each day. It's easy enough to do, doesn't require any equipment, and doesn't take much time. I used to do them at The Ridge when I went there, so I don't see why I can't incorporate them into my routine again. I could probably get Eliana to do them with me, or at least help me count. And if I'm lucky she'll be nice enough to keep from sitting on my back!
So there's a goal. Incorporate push ups into my daily exercise routine. Work up to 2 sets of 10 push ups daily. I can do that.

Honestly, I am so impressed, because I'm thinking I couldn't do a single one. Nope, not one. Don't even need to get down on the floor and try. A goal!
