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.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I think the question is *why* I would want to do pushups.
Yes, exactly.

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?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That Times article was interesting and the sidebar video was amusing. I'm certain my form was much better than any of the women in the video.

We're amusing Kat, I think. (We all ask to be amused at some point here so...)
I can do more than 16 (I'm 40 later this year), probably because of the yoga and pilates. I even have those perfect pushup things, because I am a huge sucker for that kind of exercise equipment (and it does make it easier on my wrists).

Hey sumi and Plei, what did you think about the Belmont?
