I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I can do more than 20 of the tricep pushups - where your hands are closer together. The traditional pushups put too much strain on my injured shoulder.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think the question is *why* I would want to do pushups.

And will this be showing up on your travel blog?
heh.
I can't really do a lot of pushups even though I think I have pretty good form in the chataranga portion of my sun salutations. It's the pushing back up that kills me.

The ability to do pushups, according the article, is an indicator of not only overall fitness, but also of how well a person will age. Someone in the article makes the point that, especially as you age, the ability to stop your body from a fall is more important and your ability to recover from a fall is a big deal.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just went and proved to my self that I can still do pushups. But I saw no reason to see how many I could do....

Oh, well. Hopefully my otherwise mostly clean living will make up for that.

Huh. Okay, I guess that makes sense. So, anyone want to explain (or link to) the proper form for girly pushups? I may try doing some when I get to the office. (With my door shut of course, do I look like I've completely lost my mind?)
I wonder if petticoats will be a hinderance in doing pushups?
