I have signed up for the #PushUps #CharityChallenge (https://charitychallenges.org/plans/2025-spring-challenge/) with the goal of getting 50 consecutive push ups.

The plan is to do #GreaseTheGroove with #EveryHourOnTheHour of 33% of the weekly max push ups. With the initial max count of 15 and now has increased to 24.

The push ups are done slow and controlled, so that I can mitigate a flare up of a past elbow injury.

I learned to appreciate #BodyweightExercise as part of a drop-in evening adult gymnastics program I enjoyed in the early 1990s at the California Sports Center (then in the gym of the former Blackford High School in Campbell CA).

The 30-minute warm-up would include:
* 30 V ups (switching to tuck-ups when V ups got too hard to complete 30)
* 15 push ups from toes (switching to from knees to complete 15)

Ideally, I want to work the same muscle group every two days, giving each one day to recover and rebuild.

I feel like I'm still slowly getting my strength back after having had open-heart surgery 7 years ago. That slowed me down, but the progress I feel now, especially toward pull-ups, makes me want to exercise more.
