Derby Tup Apr 2019 10:58am, 20 Apr 2019 30,672 posts	0 Derby Tup I used to spend hours standing on one leg either on the floor or on a wobble board. I’m hopeless at press ups
Cyclops Apr 2019 11:00am, 20 Apr 2019 3,794 posts	0 Cyclops I can stand up and sit down without using my hands but then I teach infants so I sit on the floor a lot (and get up a lot too). I can't stand on one leg very well at all any more because of my wonky feet.
Dvorak Apr 2019 11:11am, 20 Apr 2019 17,492 posts	0 Dvorak I now have a perhaps slightly odd image of Derby Tup standing on one leg. For hours. Just ... because. I've now tried sitting down and standing up without using knees or hands. Down - ok. Up - nope. Since I am in a car park, someone asked if I was ok If longevity depends on press-up ability: I'm f*cked. I am in a car park in a gloriously sunny Linwood as I'm waiting to recover enough leg power post parkrun to propel a bicycle. Nearly there. The park run btw was fantastic - fastest in I don't know how long

DocMoye Apr 2019 11:34am, 20 Apr 2019 27,649 posts	0 DocMoye Hopeless at press ups. Standing on one leg has been improved greatly with yoga as has the standing up/sitting down thing. ( I'm walking round a ruinied abbey and waited till no one was watching before trying)
Velociraptor Apr 2019 11:35am, 20 Apr 2019 41,396 posts	0 Velociraptor I have a strong suspicion that the influencing factor for me is that when I do press-ups I'm not worried about stapling myself with a barbell.
Goofee Apr 2019 12:01pm, 20 Apr 2019 2,625 posts	0 Goofee That made me lol, Dvorak I couldn't even do one full press-up at the start of the year, so decided to try NDWDave's 5001 press-up challenge, I started off on my knees but can now do sets of 4 on my toes. Still tough but slow progress is being made.
Columba Apr 2019 12:57pm, 20 Apr 2019 17,836 posts	0 Columba I can't do proper press-ups. Knee ones, on the other hand, seem to be too easy. So I do press-ups on the arm of a chair (rather than the floor) and log them on the aforesaid 5001 challenge. I have worked downwards to the chair-arm from a series of higher levels, but can't seem to get any lower.
