God's Child said:push ups are my favorite exercise! But it hasn't always been. I would advise being consistent with it. Don't go a day without doing push ups. Also, don't just do a few here or there. When you do them, do them until you physically can't push yourself up. I saw tremendous improvement by doing that a few times a day. I can now do 26 in a row. Not too bad for a woman.
Agreed. You should never work the same muscle group more than once within 48 hours. Always have at least one day in between; do another muscle group instead in between days.GojuBrian said:I disagree about doing push-ups every day and so does any physical trainer. When you do pushups until you can no longer do them you are breaking down muscle tissue. These need time to heal and rebuild. Do them every other day at most, but I would reccommend 3-4 times a week, 3 sets til failure each set.God's Child said:push ups are my favorite exercise! But it hasn't always been.

lol. I love the weights and have always struggled getting on the cardio stuff. My cardio is terrible for someone who works out on a regular basis.I struggle with my cardio at the moment.......

odd sit ups are usually the easiest for the female soldiers i've served with, try yoga and you'll see how weak or strong your core is, i do some of it in bjj, and it's no jokekimberlyb0112 said:I don't mind pushups at all.. i max them out on my PT test...and running, I love to run..

GojuBrian said:Do you like sit up improvement excercises? I don't like sit-ups and I believe they're bad for your back, but there are a muriad of other core excercises to improve your sit up counts.
I once did over 500 sit ups in a row to win a contest. toot-toot....
