Default I did it!

For the first time in my life, I did REAL push ups today! On my hands and toes! Okay, so I only did 5 (2 sets of push ups--I did 2 the first time and 3 the second time before dropping to my knees) but I'm still very excited! I've always had really strong legs but a flabby upper body.

I've been doing the Slim in 6 workouts and I really feel myself getting stronger each day.

Congratulations!!! Keep us posted as to how many you do the next time, and the next, etc. I'd be curious to see the time frame to get from doing 2-3 consecutively to doing, say 10? 20?

I'm far from doing one myself, so you're an inspiration! Keep up the great work!

Congrats on the push-ups...

The last couple of months I've been getting down on my bedroom floor when I'm getting dressed in the morning and doing push ups, I'm doing 15-20 no problem now, but the first few times I was doing only 5 or so... and I consider myself pretty upper body strong... So practice does make it easier... I also noticed that my upper chest is really showing a difference... I do them when I'm waiting for my deodorant or face cream to dry, when I would otherwise be just standing around...

Thanks, everyone!

Today I did 4 real ones in the first set and 5 in the second. They are SUPER hard! Push ups on my knees are a breeze now!
