Day 26 – Push-Ups for St. Jude

I am doing 50 pushups a day for August 2023. My goal is to do 50 pushups every day for August 2023.

I completed an iteration of my new logo so I added that to this video.

This is my first time using a PNG file with a transparent background of a logo I designed over video. So, all pretty exciting for me on this side of things… I am feeling incredibly good about it. I also found some very good open-source music from the Psych Rock group Kruingbin for the breathwork session today.

This logo is a green i a blue v shape to the right of the i creates a capitol D. This stands for both Improvement Dave and Instructional Design

I did a 5-minute breath work session between the two sets, which is available to view after the two sets of pushups. In this video, I do the basic 4-count in, 4-count hold, and 4-count exhale. Then when that feels comfortable I up it to 8-counts for all three. Normally I would do a 4 or 8-count hold after the exhale but having just done pushups and preparing to do more pushups I do not tend to hold on the exhale.

Day 6 – Push-Ups for St. Jude

I did these pushups yesterday but am not printing the video until today. It is day 6 of my challenge where I do 50 pushups a day for 30 days. My goal is to get down to a single set of 50 pushups, but I am stuck at 3 sets right now with the first at 23 reps being the largest set.

At the end of this session, I did some yoga. I mostly did a backward handstand to stretch out my back. I also did some downward dog and child pose and then rolled up to the mountain pose.

The night before I stayed out late to see WEEN while they were in St. Louis. The show was amazing and I am glad I stayed out late to see it. I am putting together some video I captured on my phone and can post that next. I decided to spend time with my family yesterday, Sunday. I worked a lot in the yard and placed some large sandstone rocks in the garden. I couldn’t pick two of them up and had to roll them around. They were very heavy so I ate some extra protein yesterday. I can post some pictures of the final project.

Then the family watched the new Super Mario Brothers movie with Jack Black as Bowser. We all really enjoyed it and it was a perfect family movie night with slow-fried salmon and fresh veggies.
