Did my pushups yesterday! I'm back on track. As long as my husband doesn't catch me and yell at me, I can do them on my knees.
Does anyone know of any other kind of exercises I can do without putting any weight on my right ankle? I had been in a good 6 month workout routine, and now I feel like [censored] since I can't run or do anything!

Knee pushups you are doing. You can do the same with planks or do them with one leg up. Crunches are good. Get some power bands and you can do your entire upper body from a seated postion.... lots of good options.

I've been a slacker over the weekend. Now I'm making up for it today. Started with 14, second set was 17, third set was 16 and I will finish off with the 15 before bed tonight. This will remind me not to forget to do them again!!

18 today. I'm still doing them on my knees. But as the week changes I do the full pushup for that. So today I did 3 full pushups and 15 knee pushups. Those 3 felt pretty good, too.

I've ben able to keep up with the required number each day. I do mine on a balance ball though. Hoping to move it to my knees by end of the week. I have started to notice that I have muscles and some definition. It's awesome. Now if I could just dedicate myself to the running thing as much as I've dedicated myself to the push-ups, I might actually slim down some too!
