Today is going to be very short and to the point. My husband and I had to put our 20 year old cat down this morning, so it's be an emotional day. : ( I honestly can't think of anything worse than adding chest exercises today! Seriously, I HATE chest days! Especially, today.
I'm not sure who all is following along with the LiveFit Trainer, but today I had to do three kinds of push-ups, and my body wasn't having it! I was only able to do ten close push-ups today...ten! I did three sets of 15 wide push-ups, and I even added the bench to make them harder (incline bench push-up). I was semi-proud of these. Then I had to do the side to side push-ups. Let me just tell you how well these did NOT go over! I just about face planted on the gym floor. For those of you who do not know what a side to side push-up is, watch this video and cringe:

Negative! Those did not happen today. However, what I did do (and actually liked) were these:

I will probably use these from now on when asked to do side to side push-ups. Overall, I felt like poo today during my workout. I'm pretty sure I set myself up with negative thoughts on chest day. I'm going to try and change my attitude next week when I have chest again. I can tell my attitude impacted my workout. Tomorrow is legs, and I'm feeling pretty good about it.
Oh, here is my workout log:
Thanks for checking in!!

Jaems: so so sorry! We had to do this with our 18 y.o. cat last year:(
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you and I am glad your husband was home to be with you today. Better workout tomorrow!
Shanna (Microbugs)
I am sorry for your loss. :( xoxox
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your cat. I know how hard it is. That alone would have greatly affected your workout!
ReplyDeleteI agree side to side push ups are awful, like your alternative. The ones I just can't do are when she does pushups with the propulsion in between switching sides in phase 3!
Thank you all for the kind words! Shanna, I had a great workout today! Much better than yesterday!! Thank you, Jen. Lori, there is doubt that putting or cat down affected my workout. We worked out before, but it was still heavily on my mind. It was just a tough day yesterday. Thanks again guys!
