About a month ago I read an article about how a healthy "average" man should be able to do 35 push-ups and a healthy lady should be able to do 45 (girl style) push-ups. I laughed out loud and thought to myself, "I bet I can do five. 45 push-ups is insane!"
Well at that moment I got down on the ground and I barely squeezed out ten of the most pathetic push-ups I could muster. Right then and there I told myself that I would add a few push-ups a day until I was able to do my 45.
After that first day I woke up the next morning so sore. It was definitely the worst day. My pectoral muscles were killing me, but I still managed to do 11 with more ease than the first day. Day after day 11 turned into 15, and then to 20, and then 30, until today I finally did my 45.
So get down on the ground and give me 45! Or 35 if you're a dude. Don't hurt yourself and listen to your body. Build up the strength slowly and let me know when you can do a complete set. Then we can Internet high-five.

Yeah. Oh and Carla told me about your Youngest sis named Carin and told me I should add her on fb and introduce myself to her. Does she have a blog or YouTube as well?
Hi Matthew.
That is totally your call. No Carin doesn't have any websites.

Nice, Claudia! I can do 75 at once tho I prefer doing 6 reps of 50 in my workouts. Try getting your crunch totals up too!
Wow, that's awesome. I assume you have to stay strong for your work and all.
Yes indeed, crunches I'm good with. It seems I can go awhile doing them.

Sorry, if if about that senseless comment that randomly popped outta my head lol. I mean't to ask if Carin plans on Blogging or Doing youtube vids like u?
Probably not. She's been really busy with work.

Thought so, and it's take like months for her to read my message I sent her on fb and to accept my request. Hope she doesn't have loads of messages or requests to look through.
I just think she's pretty busy.

I know but I'll just wait what comes around.
:)
I do six sets of 50 a day. Didn't used to be like that starting out...probably closer to a couple sets of 20. Interesting to know.
Hi Kelle! Wow, that's wonderful. High-five!
Sounds like you are a happy healthy Kelle.
Also, did you still want to meet up? Email me if you're free.
