    Your not meaning those yummy orange sherbet ones in the tube with the stick on the bottom are you? Actually, they make a pretty good treat, but I think ten is overdoing it a bit...

    Real easy, my belly is 2 inches above the floor in the up position.

    If you eat a pushup, you have to do 50 pushups instead of 10!

    Chin and chest to the ground, just ignore the belly.

    I know, it's harder than you'd think at first!
    But after a while, if you do them regularly,
    you'll feel so strong :-)

    What did you do? Did you do 10. The floor is too cold here to do it. Make sure I try when I get home.

    You won't do it if you put it off!
    It's only ten, ignore the chilly
    floor

    I work in a nuclear plant and I don't think they like us being on the floor. Don't worry my bf will make me do them after work.

    Good for him! He has to do them, too, of course.

    He's probably already done them. He'll do the one arm just to be a show off.

    OK, I did 10, just about, but not in good form - I can't lower myself to horizontal upper arms yet. BUT I did real ones, not the knee pushups that I still do at the gym. A little longer yet and I can move on to real pushups everywhere.

    O.K., did 10 boy pushups! (not perfect form but better than I could do them 2 months ago!)

    O.K., here's a mom tip too for those of you with kids. (I have 2 teen boys)

    Several years ago a mom of 3 boys told me the perfect punishment. When they backtalk, sass you, use bad language or just misbehave, make them do pushups and situps. she swore it made them better athletes so we gave it a try. My kids have awesome upper body strength and amazing abs! (took them awhile to figure it out) So the title of your post made me chuckle a little bit because I have said that many, many , many times.
