I am new to the Forum and have been reading the Forums and need some help and advice.
I am a 51 year old . I had Neck Fusion surgery in 2009 and have recovered. Recovery has been slow.
What I have been doing is more like a warm up routine - I have worked up to the following:
I normally do 100 pushups and I do 6 Pull Ups (palms facing away) and I do 6 to 8 chin ups (palms facing) in. I just do one set of each.
I do this 5 to 6 days per week pretty regular and some weeks I make it 7 days in a row.
At this low intensity - of using only body weight - is it OK to do this everyday or most days of the week?
I would like to increase the number of Pull Up's and Chin Up's that I can do.
Thanks for any help and advice.

Re: Body Weight Exercise Questions
You should be okay to do the bodyweight stuff 3x a week. You wouldn't need any more than that.
Just do it every other day.

In view the amount of push up and chins can be increased by increasing little bit in number say 2 per day but taking with respect to your age i think that's enough because you have go through the surgery too.You muscles are softening.
