Motivation!

Awesome! Treadmill is important but so is stretching!!!!!! My knee always borks on me after I run on the treadmill because I forget to stretch.

(MS will laugh at me for this, since it was him who taught me the importance of stretching not long ago)

[Dirty n Evil]

Thanks for the advice, Asaryu, but you're preaching to the choir. I'm the guru of stretching. Because of the nature of my joint condition, I actually have stretched several times a day every day since I was in my mid-20's. I get teased at at my job because if there's a lull for a few minutes, I'll pull up my foot and stretch my quads or find a little room and do toe-touches. I'm probably one of the more limber 38 year old's you might meet. Still, I appreciate the concern. Thank you.

<----These are the only stretches I normally do!

Heh, I do find it amusing that she's giving you that advice. Honestly, though, I should stretch more too. I remember back in the day when I could reach about 13 inches past my toes.

I want to be able to do at least 50 pushups straight. To help me accomplish this there is a smartphone application which has me doing 5 sets of pushups ramping up the number in each set every other day.

[midgetshrimp]

I don't suspect it will take you long to accomplish if you do a few sets every day. When I did weightlifting, I maxed at 115. Right-angle push-ups, one every three seconds. It took a while.

[Asaryu]

Hows it going with the push-ups, Otaku?

Went to the gym last night. I don't think I stretched my back and shoulders properly. They are SORE.

[Azrael]

Well if you ask nicely, I'll bet a certain someone will rub them for you.

[yiraheerai]

Fun fact: you can over stretch them. I did that last night. Couldn't get comfortable, so I stretched like crazy to see if it would make anything better. It didn't Woke up sore from trying.

I swam some laps for the first time in like, almost four years. I went with my stepsister and stepdad, and swam a kilometre. My shoulders could happily do more but holy crap my groin muscles are not happy campers.

*Points to what Azrael said some months ago*

[JVDifferent]

It would be somewhat awkward if I got my family members to massage my sore groin muscles.

Not in some US states

Hard to pass up a chance to help like that JVD, oh why do these openings have to be half a planet away?

[Radbaron]

Even further away for me:)
