It took me longer to do push-ups off my knees than it did for me to get pull-ups. </p> <p>Win: I haven't exercised in 3.5 months due to 2 abdominal surgeries among other things, but I started doing yoga last Friday and have been 4 times already! I was also at the park with my son on Sunday and tried to do a strict pull-up (nope...all gone) but strung together 2 kipping pull-ups. I'm tempted to go back to crossfit but I know I'm getting ahead of myself!</p> <p>Loss: none so far! Well, I missed yoga yesterday because my son had a fever so I had to pick him up from daycare...but it was more of a win because we snuggled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gym-wins-and-fails#post-1665436 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:47:43 +0000 raspberries 1665436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: That's great! My goal for the end of the year is to do one regular pull-up, but it's haaaard.</p> <p>Win: I've been working on getting in better shape for the summer, but I've been stuck on a plateau for about a month and a half - finally managed to climb over that and am down 2lbs in the last two weeks!</p> <p>Fail: My favorite group fitness teacher is going to grad school so she's no longer teaching on Thursday nights... it's hard to get up the motivation to go when I don't love the new instructor. *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gym-wins-and-fails#post-1665369 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:23:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1665369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: that's awesome! </p> <p>No wins for me! My fail is that I have to be out for 10 days. :( Going back is going to be rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gym-wins-and-fails#post-1665311 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:06:58 +0000 blackbird 1665311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win: I got my first unassisted kipping pull up last night! </p> <p>Fail: Slept in twice this week instead of running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gym-wins-and-fails#post-1665304 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:03:18 +0000 mrbee 1665304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WIN: I just realized today that after months struggling with pushups in class, I can now consistently do "real" pushups - even at the end of my workout! I used to have to go down to my knees when I got tired, but I haven't had to do that lately. I asked my trainer what was up, and he said that I had probably increased my core strength... I felt so happy to be making some small progress at the gym! Sometimes it feels like any progress is all in my imagination.</p> <p>FAIL: I've been doing Couch to 5k lately, but my ankles started hurting a lot so I had to stop. I asked on HB, and the consensus was that I need to get better shoes. Going to look into getting custom orthotics and then I'll try again.</p> <p>Any wins or fails to report? </p>
