The Hundred Push Up Challenge: I am Too Old For This!

 I am not too old for the push ups. Inspired by working my way through the The Hundred Push Up Challenge I ordered Hip Hop Abs. I did half of the intro secession the first time. I was sore for a few days but otherwise fine.

A week later, I got to the DVD again and did the whole 30 minutes at half speed. I was content with that pace. This body is never going to move like those dancers on the screen and I am so okay with that.

I pulled my back! It was twitchy, which is a warning that if I am not very careful, my back will proceed to go out. The last time that happened was about 5 years ago. A week on the couch, heat pads and muscle relaxers (which I happen to like) later I was up and moving very slowing.

No more push up for the rest of the week. I was supposed to help hang Christmas decorations at church this past weekend and canceled that commitment. Backs are tricky and demanding when they are being twitchy. Sigh.

Therefore, Week 5 next week and Lord willing, Week 6 after that and I will be done!

I am going to try to hippity hop my abs again once I have completed the Challenge and added my name to the finishers list.

At half speed, doing just half the tape at a time until this back of mine can catch up with the rest of me. Aging is not for the faint of heart.

Anyway, 86 push ups for today.

How are you doing this fine day?
