I'm willing to try it. Not starting today, though. Maybe tomorrow?

Screwing things into doorways probably wouldn't go over too well in my apartment.

still a valid exercise... works a different set of muscles (well, a few the same, a few different), since you are pulling in a different direction relative to body orientation.

ooh! look at you all knowing stuff! Razz

I don't think you ahve to screw those bars into the doorway - my dad had one when he was kung fuing, and it had rubber pads on the ends and you expanded it to push out on the doorway.

I'm going to do the initial test tomorrow morning and do my best to keep to it. I'm notoriously bad at keeping to these things though so I'll need chastisement Razz

That's also one of the reasons why I started this thread. It's easier to keep going if you're doing it in public and if others are doing it too. (I might even create a Google Spreadsheet - or whatever it's called - that we can list our efforts on. They did this on another forum I sometimes read.)

You are an Accomptant. You keep track of the King's accounts, which is a fairly simplish job: his current holdings is always A LOT, and his expected revenue is always MORE. 'Sgood ta be da King. As long as there isn't a peasant uprising, you're likely to keep your head. Also, you're the only one in the office who knows how to use an abbacus. (Or multiply.) (Or add.)

I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not.

I like it, I'm in.

Actually I've been doing a excersize dvd that has me doing 3 sets of 20 push ups already. That dvd is a 31 day program and I'm on day 14. The differrence between my pushups on day one and those on day 5-6-7 was amazing. I think the body responds fast to pushups.

Plus if you're doing them right you will be working your abs at the same time, if you keep your body in a nice straight plank. At least thats what my dvd trainer says.
