The sun is scheduled to be on full blast all of Thursday. So many good things come out of soaking that good stuff up. More time in the sun has been shown to:
- ease mild depression by increasing the rate of serotonin production
- improve brain function
- stave off the common cold (better than vitamin C or echinacea)
- improve your sleep quality
- reduce your risk of cancer
Also, it feels nice. It’s chilly, but the temperature will climb to 60 degrees in the mid-afternoon. The challenge for today is:
3 rounds of [ 15 push-ups, 1 sun salutation, then 15 push-ups ]
These can be done all in a row with 1 minute rest in between, or spread out through the day. Any variation of push-up is good. Anytime the sun is out is good.
1 point for your team for completion
1 EXTRA POINT if all 3 rounds are done outside
Let us know in the comments how you did. If you’re putting in for an extra point, tell us where you did your outside time. Be honorable for your extra point – all 3 rounds means all 3 complete rounds.

Done!
I didn’t have a chance to do the reps outside. It is raining in Oakland!
I did all three reps in a row and I feel pretty good.

Work out completed; I did it in the evening. But, soulful house music played, and I lit incense. So, that made it all the more worthwhile. (I still have my winter cold, but there’s more activity each day.)

Done, although inside. All modified with knee pushups–next time, will make the first few of every set full-plank pushups. Felt pretty good!

Push up done!
15 x 1 x 15 = easy
15 x 1 x 10 + 5 = tougher
10 + 5 x 1 x 11 + 4 = a struggle
But strong and done. All completed indoors. I missed the sun today.
