Dec 08, 2019 – Day 8 of 30-day 100 push-ups 💪🏽😌😑

The first day of the second week! I think this was motivating enough for me to excel in today’s 100 push-ups; And, that’s what I did. I beat yesterday’s performance (not by much), but it was very important for me to start the week on a high note – driving me to work even harder to beat my last session.

As I have a plan now, my goal is to stick to it and execute it daily. If I could do that, I would be a better version of everyday – which is my ultimate goal.
I was glad to see a 5 second improvement in the total time taken to finish the 100 push-ups. Plus, I did improve the max push-ups in a single rep by 4. This was a huge thing for me as I did not finish the first week on a high note. You can term it as a “Moral Booster”.

As always, the learnings are the most important part for me in these blog posts. The one key takeaway from all these attempts is that the breathing technique is more important than you think for any workout. So, my focus is going to be improving that to increase my performance levels.

1. 🟢 Finished the 100 push-ups 5 seconds in advance. 🤞🏽
2. 🟢 For the first time, I came back stronger after falling behind in terms of number of push-ups in a single rep. I must tell ya, it is a good feeling. 🤘🏽
3. 🔴 I improved the breathing technique, with more room for improvements. Also, I should myself a little bit harder to improve my performance just by a tiny bit.

Here’s the interesting part of this blog post – the Time-Lapse from December 08, 2019. I improved a couple reps by breathing properly and pushing myself for the last push-up in each rep. A positive 🕉 change I did after a week’s efforts.

Here’s the tracker to document the progress.

A slight increase in performance and starting the week #2 in the right fashion. I understand this week is crucial for me as I would be up for a mid-month performance comparison and would be super depressed if I do not show up with good numbers.

Instead of thinking about that right now, the more important thing for me to focus on each day at a time and try to give my everything in those 100 push-ups.

All good for today, then! Baibai!
