What happens is I always seem to get stuck on my second one on the way back up. See, good ol' Spence says that a "real" push up involves going alllll the way down and coming alllll the way back up. But Spence also preaches doing your best and doing what YOU can do so I figure that's as good of an excuse as any to only go partway down and then partway back up.
Allow me to introduce you to Spencer. Although once you become close enough to him (like Tom and I are) you can just call him Spence. He's a real pal.
[Dramatic pause]
I like it. Tom does too. We hate burpees though. Ooooh yes, we hate burpees. And frankly I'm not too fond of star jumps and usually my last few end up being the most pathetic sight you've ever seen. But that's when Spence kicks in and says something totally inspirational like, pretend you're being chased by a bear!
It's like I said. He's a real pal.
Most of those jigglies that I was bemoaning about this past summer went packin'. Yee-haw! Especially in my arms, which is fantastic because, I mean, I lead the music in sacrament meeting. You know, gotta keep up non-jiggly appearances.
And in conclusion, (I feel like I'm back in 7th grade writing an essay) I just feel better. I mean, once I'm over the initial exhaustion of the day's work out and my breathing finally goes back to normal, I feel all-around dandy for the rest of the day.
So for those of you who asked me, "Would I like it?" or "Is this something I can do?" The answer to both is yes. I'm pretty sure Spence would back me up on this.
Shoot, with all this free advertising I've been giving 20 Second Fitness, I feel like they should at least throw in a free t-shirt, or a 20-second timer, or... a jump rope. On second thought, if those really were my options I think I'd have to say "nah."
UNRELATED UPDATE
Today, while at Target (don't act like YOU wouldn't go there as much as me if YOU only lived two minutes away), two of the patterns of my purse were already all gone. Sold. Frolicking through the February air with some happy owner. How 'bout that—fate went ahead and narrowed my options down for me. Don't you just want to cuddle it?

Lover-ly bag! What is it about bags???? You would think that a box with no less than 42 in it would be grounds for just saying "No!" But NO!!! I just bought fabric for another bag on Saturday. Hey, where'd you dredge up the Food Storage Bus??????
Yay for getting in shape. Overat our house, getting in shape consists of giving up soda... at least it's a step, right?
Love the purse. I always think it's good when the universe helps us with our purchasing decisions. :)
Okay, I am at Target quite a bit, too, since we have one much too close for my own good. I actually thought of you and your bags the other day while I was there and looking at the bags (How can a girl NOT??)since I had just read your post. Get this, I totally guessed correctly which ones you liked! I liked 'em, too! Haha! Glad you got yours. I'll have to look into this 20 second fitness thing. I'm needing something...
tell that hus of yours hi for me.
Yes, are you the hub for "I want to believe" school buses???? You are such a crack up!
Oh ya, and good job on the loss of the jiggles. I'm on the other side, creating them as we speak.
Bags: this deserves a separate comment. I am a closet bag lady, i.e. my closet is FULL of them!! I can't have enough knitting bags, church bags, book bags, diaper bags, re-usable shopping bags, travel bags. I picked up a free one today at my O.B. with formula samples in it. But I'm turning it into a travel make-up bag!
Shelly: I have a closet full of bags too! I should pull 'em all out and see how many I actually have. I'm sure it's quite a collection.
Yes, ye olde school bus would be a result of when a case of boredom and photoshop meet. Just a bunch of silliness, really. :)
