An experiment in physical fitness...

I took an advanced carbine class this weekend with my full kit on. Plates and all. About 800 rounds. All day class and I realized that I am in bad need of a routine. Really puts things into perspective. I am not as young as I once was.
You have to start somewhere. Doubt I could do any push ups right now.

Just out of curiosity and in an effort to tone up a little I've decide to try a simple workout routine. For the month of may I'm going to do push ups every day. And each day I'm going to do more than I did the day before. That's it. No sets, no reps, just however many I can do all day. Then try to top that the next day. No I'm not going to do 1 the first day. I normally wouldn't put stuff like this on the site but my thought process is that if post about it on here I won't puss out 2 weeks from now and quit because I'm sick of push ups or just tired of doing it. Odds are I'll damage a rotator cuff or pop a peck. As long as I don't though I'll stick with it. I'll take a before pic just incase it works well. I'm going to post how many I do in this post every day this month. If I fail to do so someone please call me out for being a vagina.

Day 1: 30. Lots of popping and creeking noises.

Great job starting a new fitness challenge. I have a suggest though. Try to incorporate a horizontal pulling exercise as well to keep things balanced. Think of it like throwing a really strong recoil spring in you pistol but using light range ammo. Eventually you are going to run into problems. By including a pulling exercise you will have a better muscular balance and it will help you protect yourself from injury. Also don't neglect a proper warm up. Best of luck on your challenge.

and yes, dont neglect your back... improper balance within your muscles will cause imbalance problems and result to injury honestly
