  1. I learned to appreciate #BodyweightExercise as part of a drop-in evening adult gymnastics program I enjoyed in the early 1990s at the California Sports Center (then in the gym of the former Blackford High School in Campbell CA).

    The 30-minute warm-up would include:
    * 30 V ups (switching to tuck-ups when V ups got too hard to complete 30)
    * 15 push ups from toes (switching to from knees to complete 15)

    Ideally, I want to work the same muscle group every two days, giving each one day to recover and rebuild.

    I feel like I'm still slowly getting my strength back after having had open-heart surgery 7 years ago. That slowed me down, but the progress I feel now, especially toward pull-ups, makes me want to exercise more.
