Two-week Catch up!

I had a post earlier today on breathing. It's just below this one.

I'm still working on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday cardio. It is a two-minute warm-up with three minute "sprints" and three minute recovery periods for 3 sprints. Then calisthenics that includes 4 count jumping jacks, push-ups, sit-ups, started with plank and now doing a push-up position hold, air squats, pull-ups, and my wife does leg raises and I complete my 100 push-ups for the day.

Since I'm behind I'll share week 1 and week 2

Feeling great about the progress. This is far from a body building routine however I do feel like it's going well. Starting in May I'll a more muscle building routine. There are a lot of things I'm adding to my training. Right now I think the best thing to do is to write them all out and then start to prioritize.

Still on 100 push-ups a day. I had 90 on one day and added 15 the next day as a consequence. So I think with other days of doing an extra 5 or ten I'm at 4,130.

KEEP GRINDING!!!
