Are we talking voluntarily or at gun point?

42.... That's all I ever needed.

I can do more than I'm gonna do ;)

Depends if I am on top of the wife or not.

Oooonnnnneee!

Phew. Nap time.

I think most of us need to be taking exercise tips from you.

One guy I talked to said the best advice he every got was never to get out of shape in the first place.

Sounds simple to do but grad school, getting registered and starting my own business got in the way.

Nice save!

Indeed! I'm sure I could do 3-400....but that's nuthin'...given enough time.

How many can "she" do for you CB?

Never counted.

I’ll get back to you on that.

If you perform them like Puddles, the Oregon mascot, yes.

I used to do lots of them, then I retired from the army. No more, I've done my share...and then some.

Somewhere around the 4th or 5th pushup I start getting a brain freeze...

Regular pushups or girl pushups?

I'll be happy to do some but you'll need to pay me.

lol

The advice is good and it actually is pretty simple. I'm 56 and the 20-somethings at work are always asking how I stay in shape. I tell them I exercise 20 minutes a day, 6 days a week. They always say "No way - you can't look like you do with 20 minutes a day." "Over the years, it adds up" I tell them.

That amount seems like nothing, but it comes out to 3 hours (and 600 pushups, to stay on topic) a week. If my schedule's hectic, I'll even drop it to just 10 minutes and try to fit in another 10 later in the day. Consistency is much more important that duration and volume, ime.

And considering that over 90% of the people you meet over 40 do nothing, doing even a little puts you way ahead of the pack. In the land of the blind, a one-eyed guy does pretty good even if he needs glasses.

Funny, I wasn't thinking about how it added up.

I was thinking how much money in clothing I would have saved if I didn't get heavy and then slim over and over.

Actually it's been three cycles in my life, would have needed new clothes by now anyway. :D

It was great finding a 30 year old tee shirt this year hidden way in the back of my closet and wearing it.

It fit perfectly too.

It says "Death From Below" has a picture of a skull on it, and the name of my brother's old submarine on it.

That’s what I was thinking. It certainly doesn’t sound like they’ve found any magical causal relationship.

All through high school and college I could do 300 pushups non-stop. It was part of my warmup before judo and weight training.

Funny that this thread popped up as I was thinking about getting back into shape. Business and life has been too hectic to have that all important meditation time.

I havnt done pushups in probably 15 years. I just did a quick 9 then a few minutes later did 20 my left arm was crunching and cracking the first 5 lol I actually had no idea what id be able to do. Maybe ill keep practicing till i can do like 50 thatd be nice
