Push Up Competition

After supper tonight DH and I had a little push up chat on the go. DH saying that he couple double whatever I did in pushups! He said, "if you do 40, Ill do 80". I then said, "so if I do 80, you can do 160?". He then admitted that that would be pushing it.(pardon the pun):)
So...we got to it. I didn't want to do them on the kitchen floor b/c I knew my hands were going to get sweaty and slide and I did have to readjust 3-4 times.
Anyway...I did 35 pushups without stopping but am convinced that I could have done atleast another 10 if I were on the carpet. And guess how many DH did? 40! Puh...lease! 5 more then his wife! hahahehe! I kind of wished he had went first b/c you know whoever goes 2nd will push themselves a little further. Of course he grummbled that the floor was slippery but I didn't want to rub it in. I think DH will start working out in the near future;)

I recently got my husband to start working out (actually, it was his idea, I got tired of pushing). Anyway, he was humbled that I could lift more weight than him in almost every single area!! For example on leg extensions, I was doing 220lbs and he was at 100lbs! He went to work hobbling because he was so sore (I wasn't sore at all :))! He had to tell the guys that his wife had hurt him!!!!! He said that all this time I spent working out he thought I was just down there jumping around; he didn't realize I was doing all THAT!! HA HA HA!!!!
 
Last night DH did 4DS BC cardio with me. In the WARM UP he says "Jeez, how do you move so fast?!" I told him "You ain't seen nuthin' yet!" He's just about crying today because he's so sore!:7
 
Lori, YOU ROCK!!! :7 Great story!

I bet he has new respect for you now.

I showed my boss a clip of a Cathe workout; he remarked it looked hard, and I said, "Well no, that's just the warmup." He said, "That's just the WARM-UP? I don't even want to see the workout." WIMP!
