Became alittle ocd. Started with pushups and started low, got it to 50 now. Tried that 100 pushup challenge but it didnt work for me. Looked at the military websites and they where all about quantity.
So I would start off doing 200 countertop pushups a day. My elbow hated it but it adjusted. Cranked it to 500 a day. Then started doing real pushups and the goal was 200 in a day. Did not matter how many in one go.
Did the same deal with pullups and now the plank.
Find it helps me to go a bit nutty about stuff for a stint to increase it.
Drink mostly water, eliminated my weekly pizza, cut out milk and eat a ton more vegtables.
Cut pizza and milk due to inflamation issues and dropped weight not long after.
Pay attention to the foods that make you feel funny, talking about bowels...lol! Cut them out for a stint and you might notice a improvement.
That workout looks killer, will give it a shot tomorrow. Lately I have been doing lunges and I think I hate those more than planking.
Sourgummies,
thanks for the input on what worked for you. I may end up trying that.
I have cut out major carbs (bread, rice, pasta) and am going to be eating protein abundant foods.
ALso, try that 5 minute workout with no rest period and let me know how you did. That workout kicked my ass. Like Jim Carrey said "I'm kicking my ass, do you mind?!"
When I get to the lunges in that 5 min workout I am dying lol
