June 4 396 steps 33 flights of stairs took 15.15 minutes right after Breakfast. Price is 70.2k
June 5 432 steps 36 flights of stairs took 16:14 minutes right after berakfast. price is 71.3k

I am intentionally doing the stairs/steps a bit slower. I have found that my knees were feeling stressed when I did 33 flights in 13:13 time but at 15:15 time same steps were okay.

I will add to 16:16 tomorrow likely getting to 34 or 35 flights of stairs. about 420 steps of stairs.

If I can do 20 minutes and 40 flights/480 steps daily I will stay at that number. I will do the lite bike work at nite.

and I may just may try a handful of wait for it. pushups.

did 10 modified pushups.

Modified push-ups are good also for it helps to prepare the muscles for full body push-up, I think it is most done by newbie or beginners or expecially women that are struggling or practicing how to do a good push-up. Modified push-ups also works on the chest, shoulders, and arms, with your both knees and toe touching the floor when performing modified push-ups.

well the hernia repair restricts a full one but I am doing them on the stairs. My feet are on the floor my hands are on the fourth step.

I did ten with out hurting or tugging on the mesh.

So my body is on this angle

If I can do 10 modified pushups right after my 16:16 on the stairs. I am doing well.

I only need increase time on steps to 20 minutes
Then slowly change angle on pushups. ie put hands on third step which makes the angle closer to normal.

Something to work on the next few months.

BTW my wife came up with the modified pushup idea.

Since I joined this push-up challenge, sometimes I used to do this modified push-up with the help of my bed. One good thing about this modified push-up is that 70% or more than 70% of the gain is going directly to the chest, and it also helps widen the chest. This modified push-up is not for newbies; you need a lot of strength to keep up with your balance because it is your upper body that will do the major work.

You are absolutely right @mayor of ogba this modified push ups is always the best push ups challenge, but just as you have already said earlier that's not really good for a new beginner because as a newbie you didn't know how you are going to possion while doing the modified push ups, just like me too it is always my favorite push ups challenge that I like must just this morning after doing 50 modified push ups in 2 set I was pretty good with my chest and my muscles.

It seems you guys are mistaken inclined push-up to modified push-ups for modified push-ups is not always the best push-up just as you have said not that it is not a better push-up it is it is an open door in doing a full body push-up for it is mainly meant for that those that are finding it difficult to do a proper push-up, while inclined push-up is the one maybe you place your hands on a bench, table either your toe or hands must be placed on something. They are all good pather of doing push-ups though.

I think it is the name that is confusing you. The picture philipma1957 posted here is a good example of an inclined push-up because if you place yourself the way he explained the picture, you will position yourself in an inclined plane position. Before philipma1957 will do push-ups, he must place his hand on the staircase so that he will balance his body in the right way, and that also fits into your explanation of an inclined push-up. I would also like to call it an advanced push-up because it is not a regular push-up.

Okay standard pushup your body has a very small angle you are close to parallel to the floor.

Modified means other than standard pushup.

You can modify a pushup many ways. Your wife can sit on your back while you are in standard position that would be harder to do.

do not try to do these.

My modification alters the angle so the pushup becomes easier.
