Two questions. Why am I old? Why am I fat? Hopefully we can reduce that to one question.

I don't think this is much of a tip, but I'm not there with pushups yet either. I can do a couple now though, but find the ones with knees down get me closer and I can focus on keeping my body straight and my arms going where I need them, and not looking like a squashed spider 😂 These assisted pushups look good though, as you can do what I am, but in the full position. I think I need to get some of these bands to bridge the gap!

Aletta Armee well, I think! I can definitely feel the ache 😂 I've noticed a change in my shape, so I do think they work and I am always shattered after my workout, so that's good! I know that I'm not going to exercise outside when it's cold, I'm just not that type of person, so with these, I don't have any excuse. That being said, I will for sure be out when the weather allows so I can try out these new ropes! Hope you had a good week!

Stephen Payne ah bril, I will give those options a shot later! I think I'll be cracking champagne when I fist do a full pull up 😂

Hi Stephen Payne , I really appreciate it, that's sort of been what I've been doing on these Monday workouts as I just don't have the strength to do the full on pull ups. Even the inverted rows are tough! Glad to know that I'm heading in the right direction though, as sometimes it's easy to just try and jump right in and cause some injury just because we think we should be able to do it. Even at this point, I'd say my inverted rows aren't clean and very much a challenge, but I will keep going with them. I think by the time I'm ready to introduce bands, it'll be spring and I'll get a pull up bar for the back garden so I'll have plenty of space to make sure I'm moving correctly without avoiding the door frame 😂 Thanks again for the tips and your experience with these, they are by far the hardest exercise for me! Have a good week!

I definitely am when I finish the workout 😂 the push-up ladder in this programme is tough!

I'm going to do this one after I finish JRD Max, you and Stephen have inspired me! Enjoy!

Stephen Payne oh perfect, thanks Stephen, I'll keep them in mind when I'm going to get some. Good to know that I don't need loads and obviously they will be easier to store.

Joe De Luca That one is my next one I think, I need to get some dumbbells first though - probably slightly essential for that one 😂 Enjoy!

Aletta Armee oh that's good to hear! I'm looking forward to seeing my progress, but also just enjoying the exercise 🤗 Enjoy the second month Aletta!
