Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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?
How To Do A Push-Up - to do the girly version, you have your knees on the ground.
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.
I think the question is *why* I would want to do pushups.
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?
I've been feeling oddly motivated to improve my fitness before my next birthday (I'm also 40 later this year). My job is often pretty physical, but I'm trying to get in the habit of practicing pilates more regularly.
lisa makes me laugh and laugh. also go bowm chica bow bowm.
I am appalling at pushups. Quite dramatically bad. Give me exercises that involve quads and abs and I can give you a run for your money, but my pushups are made of fail. My clavicles feel like they're going to collapse.
ita, aren't you lacking a muscle that is sort of integral to pushups? One would think that that would excuse you from them.
I can probably do 15-20 real pushups. (I can do more if they're the girlie kind.)
I'm still working on the pull up issue.
