As I approach forty-five this summer, I want to be able to do 45 perfect
push-ups (at one time, lol) and 45 perfect sit-ups and not feel like shit
for three days afterwards.

Once upon a time I did 210 pushups a day (60-50-40-30-20-10). Some one-armed, some on knuckles, some on fingtertps. Eventually worked in 105 stiups.

Then I met a woman. They start these conversation things just when you start to exercise.

I can do 50 pushups in one set.

I can do maybe 75-100 situps in one set without throwing up.

i couldn't even do my kids' ages, of either...nor would it occur to me to try.

In fact, the last time i tried to do a push-up or a sit-up, I was busy getting traumatized in a HS gym class.

If "I have no idea" was an option that's what I'd choose.

I can't remember the last time I did either one,that's sad,I'm going to do a few when I get home just to feel better.

Don't need 'em, never have.

I did some pushups a week ago (someone asked if I could do them. And I did.)

Haven't done situps since I pulled a stomach muscle a while ago. But I'll probably give it a try soon.

Well, need is subjective.

I don't need 'em to lose weight. I don't need 'em to improve my quality of life.
I don't need 'em to help fight off bird flu.

And please, don't try and do sixty push-ups and match your age without con-
sulting your doctor.















(devil made me add that last part :-))

I think I'd end up in the hospital if I attempted either one of those...

Do 12 ounce beer curls count for anything?
