those HS pushups look awesome! How did you learn em?

Your work looks great. The HIT stuff is good stuff, I love it!

Keep up the great work.

Thanks Deb! I learned by first trying them and not being able to do them at all. Then, I started doing decline push ups. Then, I started doing decline push ups on the squat rack with my feet on the bar. Each time, I just moved the bar up a peg. Eventually, I was almost vertical, so Chris said just get against the wall. I'm doing them now with the aerobic step under my head until I'm strong enough to do them from the floor. I also watched Chris do them and the girl on the xfit videos.

Great avi with a very impressive hand stand pushup! You can be very proud of yourself.
Also,wonderful physique. Your abs are showing

Thanks Espi! I've got one of those pear shapes I guess....all the extra weight in the thighs not on the tummy.

The avi brings back horrible memories for me from phys ed in elementary school. I couldn't even do a handstand! But nice work!

Thanks LT. I wasn't so good at them myself. It's funny to look back and think about where I was athletically as a child, which was pretty much nowhere, LOL.

I'm reading the results of your workouts and I'm thinking this girl is a MACHINE!!!

Awesome job!

Aww, thanks R! Appreciate you stopping by.

Mel,
You've been playing while I've been away. When you say you're going to do something .... you do SOMETHING! Avi is great.

You had a great idea, so I went with it! I don't think I would have had the guts to do it if you hadn't suggested it.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my log! The handstand pushups are so impressive. I hope I'll be able to do those eventually. I've just recently mastered regular pushups and am really excited about that!

Thanks for stopping by MG. Isn't mastering a new skill amazing. One thing I'm finally starting to learn is that I can do a lot more things than I think. Even when something seems impossible at first, I'll usually try it. What's the worst that can happen, failure? That only lasts for a minute.

back with workout in a sec.
