A small victory...my first straight-leg (guy) pushup!

[luvmydogs]

OK, OK, OK, I know this isn't really a big deal, but today I did my first straight-leg push-up (ever) while doing my Firm Cardio Sculpt video. It was only one, mind you--then I had to go back to bent-legs--but when starting out 15 months earlier and 110 pounds heavier, I could barely do one bent-legged push-up. So, today I'm celebrating and setting a goal of 10 straight-legs by the end of summer. I know this is kind of silly, but I just had to tell someone...

You are creating muscles that will burn more calories and make you lose weight faster- I think it's a HUGE deal!!!! WAHOOOO You go!!!!

Woo Hoo!

Congrats to you! I don't think it's silly at all. I can't wait to do my first full push-up. I'm still donig either bent leg or using my low coffee table for my hands so I'm not paralell to the ground to do mine. I keep trying every so often, but can't do it yet. Keep up the great work. You'll be doing those 10 push-ups in no time! Besides, you just motivated me to try harder, so thanks for the push!

Good for you!! I like doing push-ups too! After I had worked my way up to doing 20 good push-ups I just had to show my ex. He about lost it, he was so surprised! Your chest and triceps will thank you!!

That is wonderful, I'm proud of you. A straight-leg pushup is awesome, I haven't even attempted those . Keep up the great work and I bet you'll be reporting more of those real soon.

That IS a big accomplishment! Straight leg pushups require upper body strength that is able to pick up your body weight. You did the two things it takes to make it possible, gaining the strength AND losing the weight.

I consider that a BIG deal!

I remember the days when I was able to do pushups with my feet elevated! Those WERE the days!!

Now I want to be where YOU are!
