Jul. 21st, 2011 10:00 am64 pushups in two minutes. don't know how much of that was actual upper body strength and how much was the venti-sized iced coffee I made myself this morning. Waited a minute afterwards and then added 16 triceps pushups (with my thumbs and forefingers touching each other directly under the center line of my collarbone) as I have been told this is a good archery exercise and I would like to be able to draw a 55-60 pound bow for pig hunting when the time comes.
Situps later. Doubt I'll be cycling today as the temperature is supposed to go up to 97 and I can barely see the Manhattan side of the East River from the window (normally I can see the Pepsi-Cola sign in Queens from that window) due to haze. My lungs have enough to deal with without inhaling that. But it will all pay off when it's time to ride for the Leukemia society. Core strength prevents back pain from sixty miles hunched over the handlebars, after all.
ETA: 54 situps in two minutes. not in the same hour as the pushups, though, so it doesn't count towards an Army style fitness test. Good to know, though.
