One Arm Push-up Pushed Back

Memorial Day, 2011

Here’s a little ‘push-up montage’ I’ve put together to show you I’m not slacking off! ;-)

The words of my insightful coach, Erica, are still ringing in my head, “You picked the right goal, but the wrong date!”  Indeed, I did.  Today is the date I chose last November to debut my one-arm push-up (see “A Shoulder Salute”).

Alas, there will be no shoulder salute this Memorial Day—my neck and left shoulder are currently opposing this pledge.  It’s a mild protest, but one I must respect.

Nothing some massage and orthobionomy sessions can’t cure, along with more strength training, of course.  The good news is my mind and body are still willing, and with more time I will be able.  So, a new date is set… I’m aiming for Veteran’s Day 2011.  Might as well go round full circle (and I will still be 45!).

“6 Weeks to Stronger Push-ups” will also debut this Veteran’s Day and I will donate half of the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project to honor our service men and women who have been injured.

So, once again, stay tuned, and wish me luck!
