Thank you so much for your entry. You really did great by doing pushups, jogging and stretching. I applaud you that despite being alone, you were consistent.

Please What are some of the effective ways to really increase my push-up count without risking to injury?

Just be consistent and try increasing the counts. For instance, if you did start with 50 counts today, try starting with 55 the next day. With consistency, your arms will become used to it and the pains will not be felt as much

How can I always stay motivated to work out more consistently, especially on those days when I feel low on my energy?

The best way to stay motivated is to join a fitness group. You will be motivated the more. Yea, the instructor will help you reach and even exceed your limit. When you see others trying their best to complete their programs, you too will be moved to do the same. That was what helped me.

Please are there other exercises you can recommend to help complement push-ups and stretching?

Sure, there are a lot of programs depending on what you want to achieve. Try crutches. You can browse it.

And lastly! What can I do to really alleviate the muscle soreness after intense workouts?

The best remedy is to keep repeating whatever program you did. When you keep repeating such programs, your body will be accustomed to it. The truth is that anytime you start a new program that your body is not used to you will feel pain but consistency will help you to overcome it. Don't give up! You can also use pain relief if you like but I don't recommend it.

I hope I have been able to satisfy your answers?

Hope to receive your entry in this current week.
