One-Legged Push-Ups
No running for me at the moment (gotta love the stress fracture), so I’m reduced to doing some core exercises and a little bit of strength work courtesy of the good old Hundred Push-Ups. The left foot is still too sore and swollen to put any weight on, so my only option right now is [...]
Soccer Field Loops And Some Strength Work
Should probably invent a name for this type of workout. Any suggestions, please leave a comment below. I guess it’s a circuit workout of sorts, and here are the details: 3/4 mile run on grass, 6 soccer goal pull-ups, 15 push-ups, 15 crunches – repeat 10 times. Totals: 7 mile run, 60 pull-ups, 150 push-ups, [...]

Great workout and [...]

Managed to get through Week 5 Day 2 of the Hundred Push Ups plan, but the last 45 were tough: Required: 19, 19, 22, 22, 18, 18, 22, at least 45 Actual: 19, 19, 22, 22, 18, 18, 22, 45 for a total 185 push ups. Felt quite strong again, although I seem to have [...]
