I've done 3 x 10 press ups each day. I'm doing daily yoga from today and that includes planks and some other core and upper body strengthening stuff. My arms ache less now :)

Wow Kodo! You're really going for it aren't you mate?

I did "Cindy" today. That's a CrossFit workout of 20 minutes doing as many rounds as possible (AMRAP) of 5 pull ups/10 press ups/ 15 air squats. I'm finding the pull ups much harder since having a break from doing them over Christmas and eating so much cheese!

Nah, not really. It’s an old Al & Danny Kavadlo strength program I’ve done before.

It’s from their book Get Strong which, I’ve just seen, is on limited offer of 99p on Kindle.

I remember the benchmark WODs. I used to hold the CFL1 & Strongman certs, let em run out though.

Cheese has a lot to answer for. How many rounds did you do, Nellers?

Are handstands what I imagine, HK; balancing on your hands with feet in the air?

Sort of GM. I’m currently kicking up into a handstand against a wall. I’m not up to pressing or kicking up into a freestanding handstand yet.

12 this time, GM, and I was literally coming up on the final squat as the watch pinged.

My PB is 14, but that was a few months back.

It sounds like you both have a target to work towards.
