Strength & Structure

My quantity of pushups and situps per set have increased by 33%.  I'm very happy to see this progression.   My strength is increasing which is allowing this.  When I started, I struggled to get many in before my strength waned.  I took to heart what many Sifu's/Sihings have mentioned to us and that's to focus on proper form first, quantity second.  By doing this I was improving my form and increasing my strength.   Proper push ups are much harder to do that incorrect ones.  

I focused on this advise and I really started to see that my form (yes pushups have proper form lol) was terrible.  As the reps increased with my mind focusing on form, my strength increased and so did the reps.  

What I've found also is that I needed to start my day with reps or I wouldn't get many in outside of the days that I'm in class at the kwoon. Structure/routine was missing.  I'm the person that needs to actively engage in structure, it doesn't come naturally.  I'm the sort of person that thrives in the moment and can work well under pressure.  This isn't always the recipe for success so I've started to implement some structure to my training in the mornings. I now get in at least one to two sets of push/sit (core exercises) ups, one rep of any form and some side planks for physical activity.  I add in reading Mastery with my one espresso to compliment my non physical requirements.  

The structure that I've impleimented has helped kick off my day in a posative way.  I've accomplished some tasks that put me in a posative mental state to start my day.
