Did you read the headlines regarding the Australian research that showed that for each hour of television watched after age 25, you shorten your life by 22 minutes? I shortened my life by 1 hour last week alone, and probably will again this week. At this rate I will cut short 3 weeks of my life span over just the next ten years. I assume watching movies is as bad. I guess this means T.V./movie viewing is a good time to start exercising: doing yoga, stretching, etc. It will make it hard to follow those subtitles on foreign films, though! I wonder if anyone has done research on reading books and life span, or computer use.
I just completed 1 month of plank-a-days. Yay for me. It is getting easier. Eleven months to go.

Our community has started the "100 pushups" program. I read about it in our local paper.
It is a 6 week training program to increase your ability to do pushups. There is an initial test you take. Based on your results, they offer training programs for three times a week pushup workouts. It is free, should only take 30 minutes a week of your time, and you don't have to leave home. I think it is a great idea. I admit that I can't actually do a regular pushup as of yet, so maybe I will try this later on. Meanwhile I will stick to doing the modified version.
