100 Push Ups Challenge
I’ve decided to jump on the one hundred push ups bandwagon. Following JD over at Get Fit Slowly, Nickel over at Fit36, and Jim over at Journal of Healthy Living, I’ve decided to try to do one hundred push ups - in just six weeks!
I just finished my initial test and I managed to do 13 push ups! How cool is that. Seriously, I didn’t think that I could do 3 push ups, but I managed to do 13! According to the one hundred push ups page, I’ll start at column three.
So, anybody else out there willing to take the challenge? If so, leave a comment and let me know!
Combining Walking And Practicing Golf
I’ve made it my goal to walk 45 minutes - every day - to ensure that I get enough cardio. While I enjoy walking, walking every single day, especially on the same treadmill or track can get very, very boring. So, I’ve decided to combine my walking with one of my favorite past times - playing golf.
Behind my house, there is a field, perfect for hitting golf balls. Here’s what I’ve started doing.
I get three golf balls and my sand wedge. From one end of the field, I hit all three balls. I then walk, quickly, to each ball. I continue to hit each ball, walking between each shot, until I reach the other side of the field. I repeat this process, moving back and forth, across the field, for about an hour. During the hour, I’m able to a) improve my golf game and b) get my walk in.
If you are struggling to enjoy your cardio - think about combining it with something else that you really like.
Going To Play Golf
This afternoon, I’m going to a two day golf retreat, with a friends church. I’m excited about dusting off the old clubs and playing. I went for a brisk walk this morning, and I just finished these stretches. I feel great, I’m down a few pounds, and I’ve learned how to quit obsessing about food (or dieting). All is good.
(I also need to hit the treadmill just a bit more.)
