So, I drew her some pictures and explained, hoping to not have to try to show her. lol Didn't work.<BR/><BR/>So, I demonstrated how to start in the up position and go down . . . and tried in vain to push back up . . . and felt my entire upper back do something nasty.<BR/><BR/>Now, about five days later, the soreness and stiffness is <I>almost</I> gone. Once I drop ~40 pounds, I'll get back to you. ;o)Annaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964274663555911996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-39368397550557154752008-09-09T10:49:00.000-07:002008-09-09T10:49:00.000-07:00If you can't do one, you start with one of the les...If you can't do one, you start with one of the less difficult pushups: there are about four styles given. The easiest is standing, with your hands on a wall, and they progress from there to full-on boot camp style (but not as far as GI Jane one-arm awesomeness).Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704810407872873565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-26668614808692364232008-09-09T10:35:00.000-07:002008-09-09T10:35:00.000-07:00One. . .on a good day.
