that b*tch holly...full of encouragement

Here's an email that I got today from my trainer, Holly. Yesterday I did 10 "full" pushups in a row. What's a "full" pushup, you ask? It's military style, no knees-down-girl-style but straight-out-boy-style. Seem easy? Try it...

Hi Christie,

I hope you're having a great day! Just wanted to send a quick email and say
congrats! Congrats on hitting a new personal record - 10 pushups. Yesterday's
workout was tough and you pushed through and did awesome. You always give it
100% and that's why we love working with you. Great work! Have a great
afternoon and we'll see you tonight!

I've been doing the knees-down pushups since I started at Holly's. The most I've done in one training session is 170. She says that when you do a knees-down pushup you are lifting 40% of your body weight versus the straight-out pushup, where you are lifting 70% of your body weight. Big difference! Seem easy? Like I said, try it...
