Every weekend my dad puts on a pot of coffee as he gets up… as im usually out of bed late, the house (particularly in winter) is filled with the most delicious smell… this followed by some croissants, toast and honey or pancakes is an excellent start to a cold Saturday or Sunday.

Now im moving out of home, I hope my new flat mates also like to make coffee on the weekend (they have an espresso machine so things are looking up :)

well, ive progressed to chart 3!

What a jump in difficulty!!!! im struggling with
the pushups! Instead of just working the chest and lower
shoulders at the back (i dont really know muscle names – can
you guess?!), it also seems to be burning the tops of my shoulders…

Anyway, i have noticed a quick increase in the number
i can do, and hopefully, next week i will be able to
concentrate on speeding up to meet the time, not
actually strugle to just meet the number of repeats.

It seems like a really bludgy start and you think to yourself… “oh i’ll just skip a few levels” but its worth sticking to it. Ive been doing it for 2 months now, pretty much every day, spending a minimum of 2 days per level, and ive just got to level A+ of chart 2… i didnt think i would get there!! doing it, it seemed forever, but looking back, its gone pretty damn quickly!

But being under 25 ive still got a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGG way to go ~ another 2 charts, and i think its gonna get a wee bit more difficult! Actually, for chart 3, im not sure how to attempt the push ups… does anyone know what they mean by ‘three definate’ movements?? how do you ‘straighten’ the arms (after the fore head touches the ground behind the hands) as they are already extended… is it more of a rock/rotate thing while lowering one’s behind? :)
