Today's must do task is to perform fifty each of the various basic exercises, press ups, squats, etc. Not all at once, I don't think I can so I'll do some and then set a timer for an hour, do some more, and repeat that until I've done at least fifty of each.

Hmm, exercise not going so well just this minute. Got up to do some more and almost fell over. I seem to have pulled a muscle or something, whatever it is it's uncomfortable. Not whether it was the exercise that did it or that I twisted something getting up. Regardless of what it is I think that's the end of exercising for today. Here's how far I got.

- press ups: 33, in six separate sets
- squats: 50, they are easy
- sit ups: 11, that might be the cause of the ache
- squat thrusts: 26
- burpees: 20

@swirlie I don't think that would happen in France, certainly not these days. Even though quite a lot of French people don't speak English, or don't speak it well, there are quite a lot who do, and more who can at least undestand more. Of course everything is in French but with a bit of good will on both sides you can usually get fed :-)

The French have mellowed over the last half century and are not as hostile to the idea of speaking English as they once were.

@ninalanyon
That is all very comforting to know!

This is inspiring i hope you achieve your goals today and every other day you set out to them

@11knaves11 I rarely do reach my goals. I often get distracted into doing something else. But I did more today than i have done for months so I'm reasonably happy. :-)

@ninalanyon thats the key is daily progression
