We just got back from vacation, and boy was it hard to maintain any sort of healthy routine while we were on the road. As I noted previously, one of the big limitations was that the only workout “equipment” that I had at my disposal was the floor and the great outdoors.
Just a quick update to say that I’ve officially completed day #1 of the One Hundred Pushups training program. My plan has been to mix these workouts in with my rowing regimen rowing, so I did the initial test shortly after an 8km row, and only managed to do ten before my form started to break down.
