A lazy winter

It has been a lazy winter for me. The only exercise I've done daily or almost daily was pushups.  20-26 at a time.  Planking fell off.  Did some squats but pretty much nothing else.  I haven't found a place to use my strap gym.  My weight stayed constant over the winter though I am perhaps 1-2 Kg more than my low.  Some of my exercise has been pulling weeds, broom plants, using a 7 Kg or so tool which heavy when i have to haul it down, and back up, some 30-40 vertical metres. One thing I did read was that doing long periods of planks don't help, and more short reps are better.  As a result, I have modified my pushup routine.  Hold a plank at the top of the push up to a slow count of 5, 15 times and 2 sets.  Hopefully daily.  I have to work on the side plank too.
