Problems with Push-ups

Had Josh again tonight, apparently push-ups were the theme. I only got a "cmon oblinger" a few times, that's an improvement! Told you I would blog about it Josh!

I don't like push-ups. Not so much because they are hard. I mean, they are hard, but not as hard as they used to be. But I still have some "issues" with them.

1st issue --- I do the modified version (the kind most women do) - so I'm on my knees when I do them. The floor at SWEAT is hard and I get a sort of cross between a bruise and a carpet burn on my knees when Josh makes us do like a million push-ups.

2nd issue --- the push up in general is not terribly attractive, it is kind of an unappealing position to be in (maybe some people feel differently about this, but I don't feel very good lookin when I'm doing them).

3rd issue --- I look absolutely ridiculous when I am trying to get up from doing a large amount of push-ups. I just look pitiful, I have to push myself up and try to get my feet under me. I look clumsy and not graceful in the least. Now, most people would not normally describe me as graceful, but me getting up after doing lots of push ups could be described as anti-graceful - the exact opposite of graceful.

4th issue --- guys look way better doing push-ups (well some guys anyway).

Ok now that the bitching is over. On the bright side, I am totally able to do many more push-ups then I could 7 weeks ago!

Oh - for those of you who live close to Anthem - SWEAT's new 12 week challenge starts on April 1st - it is TOTALLY worth the cost if you really want to jump start your path to fitness and weight loss!!! Everyone there is great, that includes Josh (even though I complain about him a lot).
