Push-ups!

I've always hated push-ups. I have bad shoulders, and push-ups make me nervous about dislocations. Plus, they're hard!
I've been doing knee-style push-ups for years. And years. And years. Don't love them that way, but don't hate them.
Today, I did six 'proper' push-ups. On my toes. It's the first time I've ever tried it.
Six!
And I didn't die.

That is a great start. Awesome! I know I don't like push up's or squats and I am up to 30 push up's and 20 squats.0

Weeeeee!! Great job!! I started doing knee push ups in about November; I could only manage three - now I can do 21
I'm so desperate to do proper push ups like you're doing but I'm not strong enough to even do one
nice to know that I might get there one day!

Thanks everyone! It's very rewarding, and amazing, to see the evidence of the changes your body is going through. The human body is an amazing thing.0
