I’ll be posting October’s workouts at the end of the month just to reflect on my progression. I have been really trying hard at a healthy caloric deficit.

I’m going to try and work my core more as a next steps to get pumped about.

I’ve always wanted to be a dancer but I was too heavy to keep up with the other kids my age. I tried a pole dancing class for a few weeks one time at it absolutely kicked my ass and I couldn’t continue going after a while. Maybe if I train all my muscles and increase my flexibility through yoga, I’ll be able to do it for real!

How do you work yourself up to a real pushup? Right now im practicing with wall pushups but im not sure what the next step is. I think going straight to a pushup i will fail but the wall pushups are starting to get easier for me. So i was wondering if you have any advice?

Thank you! By the way you are like my inspiration/role model! I hope to be where your at in the future.

Congratulations on your push up progress 👏👏👏

It's all in the angle, babeeey!

Find a spot to put your hands that's lower than the height on the wall. Spots like counter tops, arm of a couch, a chair..

I recommend starting with NEGATIVES (see 3rd gif), that's where you lower your body as slow as you can then use your leg to push you back up. The muscles used to lower yourself down are the ones that will bring you up.

I like aiming for a rep goal of 2 and then increasing it slowly over time as part of my tiny habit. I do a set push ups every time I go to the bathroom.

Chair push ups help build muscle memory in the proper range of motion with the body being as straight as possible. Doing it this way, you can skip the knee push ups altogether.

the other day i was perusing the dessert options in the dining hall and this group of absolute stereotypical frat boy types were also milling around the desserts and one of them pointed to the strawberry pastries and said to the others “what’s the vibe with these, boys?” and i haven’t been able to get that sentence out of my head since
