We're working on it, though. We just started doing yoga and we're making more of an effort to walk to places to blog that aren't bed, but still, we can't. And it's a little embarrassing, for the push-up is "the ultimate barometer of fitness." Like the ladies at Jezebel, we were ignoring the New York Times story on the classic push-up for the past few days. Maybe they were ignoring it because it's a tad sexist and we were ignoring it because it made us feel inferior and weak (a result of the sexism or our own weakness?). But seriously a 40-year-old woman should be able to do how many push-ups?
Sixteen!
We're in a coffee shop and don't want to drop down on the floor to test just how many we can do, but we can say, with 99% certainty, that we cannot do 16 push-ups. And we're 25. Can you?
