I’ve been slacking on my exercise routine for the last 2 weeks, due to a combo of being unwell and lack of motivation. Still not feeling great but I pushed myself to do my usual 10 set of pushups. I’m down by about 60 pushups already! However I will add I did these at 1am and having had 3 hours sleep this morning… here are my results.

45,21,15,15,12,15,12,14,19,15 – 183 pushups.

I have decided to make a slight adjustment. I’ve incorporated static exercising onto my workout. For pushups, starting position, I hold for 3 then come down to the floor slowly for 10 seconds, when at floor I hold for 3, and come back up in 10 and hold for 3 seconds at top position. I managed about 3 before my arms got so fatigued I couldn’t lift back up. I was going to just leave it at that, but even though the exercise fatigued my arms, I missed the raised heartbeat and breathlessness that I get from pushups! So I did still do those, but instead of my usual 30-40 second rest in between sets, I cut it to 10-20…it made a BIG difference!
Here are my results:

Reg. Pushups (with 10-20 seconds rest in between each set)

50, 12, 10, 10,10, 7,5, 5,5,6) 120

Static pushups (3-10-3-10-3) 4

I will try static exercises for a few weeks, and see how I benefit.
