Week 2, Day 2 of the hundred pushups program and Week 4, Day 2 of the two hundred situps program. Again, with counterposes: Dhanurasana and Urdhva Dhanurasana. Max pushups today was 13, situps was 70. Could have done more, but the family lost patience. On the other hand, did manage to slip them into the evening routine instead of missing them entirely, so... Actually, though I didn't do 200 in a row, did more than 200. Total pushups was 53, so more than half way there. Elbows are doing a weird twingy thing, though. Trying to be aware of that and decide when I think I'm pushing too far.

Good going! I've started doing counterposes when I'm doing situps and pushups, it does feel really good, and I'd never have thought of it if you hadn't mentioned it! Thank you.

Hee! You can thank Shiva Rea. She does a bunch of pushups in Fire on Daily Energy (not 108, though!) and after every set she does counterposes, starting with Cobra, then Salambhasana and finally Dhanurasana. Also, she just lies there on the ground for a second after the counterposes. I love how yoga just lets you flop out after a particularly strenuous segment! :D
