On tv over the last year, whenever anyone does push-ups or sit-ups,
they do wimpy ones. They don't lower their chest or their back,
respectively, to the floor. This makes them much easier to do.
Is tv promoting wimpism, or has there been a determination that the
old, difficult methods can cause harm?
Should I continue to do my exercises the way I was taught in JHS?
I'm getting back in shape. I've lost 51 pounds (and maybe 8 inches
off my waist) and it's time I started exercising (beyond walking and
some physical work).
Crossposted. Could you please say what group you are replying from,
so I can read what else you have to say?
(I have maybe 29 pounds to go to my original maximum goal weight.
I'll reevaluate when I get there. The absolute most I have to lose is
45 more pounds, but I don't think I want to do that.)
