I got about 9½ pushups in before my arms gave out and I had to roll out of it and give up LOL!

I’m 43 years old for reference, but my main preferred exercise is BMX flatland, which generally exercises the legs more than the arms. I did make sure as best as I could to keep my back and legs straight for proper pushups.

I guess I’m getting old, I’m sore today…

Edit: Tonight I managed 10, yay me! I really should give my muscles a bit of a break for a few days or so…

Edit 2: Thank you kind strangers for the words of encouragement and motivation! I do think I need to take a bit of a break for a few days or so, but I do plan to work on more exercises as such every couple days or so at my convenience…

    I think I’ll give myself a couple days for my muscle soreness to fade before I try again, as it’s been probably over a decade since I did any pushups.

    I’m happy that I almost hit my first day goal of 10, honestly I got closer than I expected. But yeah, taking a break now I’m sore, but I’ll probably be trying again by Tuesday or Wednesday or so soon…

    Edit: Check my other comment, I just tonight managed 10 pushups 👍
