There have been many times that I have felt like skipping, but since push-ups can be done really quickly, I just decide to do as many pushups as I can, and then I end up either doing close to my full set, or maybe I just end up doing 70% of what might have had been able to do. .and so that keeps the progress going, even maybe if I ended up doing 30% to 50%, that would probably be better than skipping sessions, yet once I start doing the pushups, I usually cannot stop at 50%, so I usually will want to do more than 70%, and so I will find if I get to 70% and I am continuing to have energy and the pain is not that bad, I just keep going and in the end, I feel good about the session, even though I started out by not wanting to do it.. and even dreading getting started.

I often encounter this and I see it as a challenge, it was hard for me to face it for months as I continue skipping and procrastinating with the thought "i will do it tomorrow " and tomorrow started to feel like some endless loop Grin

and i began to add weight Cheesy

I was only able face it by just giving a little try with the though"just little" and gets motivated anytime I try the little to do more, thus achieving the daily sets

, from little to achieving more than expected is a good achievement for everyday fitness and there's no fitness without pain IMO

Works like magic. When you think of the whole routine, your human, you can be discouraged. Even as most people here have no solid past record of fitness and exercise. But that thought of "just a little".. " however little", and then you start, could keep you going, thats a lot of motivation in 'just a little' way. When you get to it and you do the little intended, you may notice there's room for more, and with that going on , you'll hit full throttle, in a bit you'll be in your element.
And yes, no fitness with no pain.
No pain?
No gain

Of course there is no gain without gain. This push has really show me that exercise should be part of our life if we plan to live a long and healthy life. We I started this challenge I didn't know I will last this long in it without quiting. But surprisingly I am still here and hitting my target on a daily basis. One thing that has kept me going is the fact that I am seeing the direct impact of the exercise in my body. These changes didn't come without sacrifice and going ahead despite the pains I have been experiencing. There are many days I don't feel like doing the exercise, but I still go ahead to do it and today am happy I made those decisions.
