So 7 weeks ago I did the fit test before starting p90x...I could not do one push up, could only do 10 on my knees. According to the test girls should be able to do 3 regular or 15 on their knees before starting P90x....
My whole life I've told myself I can't do push ups. I thought yeah right me, fat girl....my arms just don't seem to bend/work that way.
My hope was that maybe I'd be able to do a "real" pushup by the time I was done with p90x...but TODAY I thought what the heck I'll try not on my knees...If I fall on my face no one but my cats will laugh.
I did *4* Slo-mo pushups *16* floor flys *8* two speed pushups *6* side to sides *12* regular
Thats right 44 frickin pushups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
and when I couldn't do any more...I dropped to my knees and kept going. Now if I could only do a pull-up...somehow I think I'll get there soon!
