I added three onto my routine every [most] mornings, well it was all I could do. And now? Still on three. I thought I would have progressed by now.

That is what I do... I don't have enough strength to do the "real deal" any time soon, at least not many to make it worthwhile lol

I also have 10's, but I'll start with the 5's. When I did it before it reduced any flabbiness in my arms and strengthened them.

I do 3 sets of 10 PU on weekday mornings.

I use a bench to raise my horizon to about 60 degrees.

Peace!

Us busy women need to fit in our fitness routine....while you are waiting for something to cook..take 2 steps back from the counter, put your hands on the edge and do several semi vertical push up.

When getting something from the lower shelf in the fridge...do a squat as oppose to bending over.

That's a good idea, Val. There is more than one way to skin a rat.
