So Ronnie over at Main Street Strength And Conditioning told me to try to add some exercises to my morning walk every quarter mile. He mentioned adding burpees, push-ups, mountain climbers, pull-ups, etc.

I decided to start doing push-ups. So every quarter mile or so I drop and push ’em out. I started low doing 10 at a time ending up with 100 at the end of my walk. Then on my longer walks (Monday and Wednesday) I would end up with 125 push-ups completed.

This started a little over a month ago. Since then I am up to 175 push-ups on my long walks and 140-50 on my shorter walks. I make sure to do a few sets uphill and a few downhill. I have noticed a difference in my arms, shoulders and chest in regards to muscle growth, which has been nice. I have also noticed an improvement in my core and legs. This nice side-effect has helped during my ab workouts on the nights I get to the gym.

Every now and then I will throw in a set of burpees. I may try some mountain climbers as well, but the push-ups and burpees have been treating me well so I plan on sticking to them.
