12 x 12 = 24

As promised, I put down Harry Potter for 10 minutes last night and did my push-ups.

I managed 12 push-ups before my arms gave out. And these were real push-ups, not the kind the girls got to do in junior high gym class.

I was really suprsied that 12 was all I could do. I figured I'd be able to do at least 20. Turns out push-ups are hard. I did manage to do a second set of 12, but it was really pushing it to get that twelfth one in. We'll see how I progress as I start my training.

As I type, my Dad is filling my in-box with workout info. Thanks Dad!

Push ups are a great exerise that you can do anywhere. Don't do so many that you hurt yoourself. Build up to the numbers slowly. A guy I work with told me yesterday that used to do 33 at a time. He just finished treated for cancer and decided to get back to doing push ups. He couldn't do even 1. He has since built up to 8. I used to do push ups every day. Because of my shoulder I have not done any in over 3 years. It will be interesting to see how many I can do next spring after I recover from my surgery.

By that point I should be up to 14 or 15 push ups. We will have to have a push up competition.

You could also do fly lifts of the HP book. This way you don't have to stop reading and your arms get a little workout!
