Inverted one arm push ups

I'm physically fit but I can't do a one armed pushup, let alone inverted. Once you start an exercise routine, make sure it is something you can continue, every day, for the rest of your life.

You're not supposed to do the same routine every day.
 
Below is yet another example of the human body’s ability to display strength with age. The video that you will see was recorded in 2007. Within the video comments, the lifter (Mike Brown) recently stated that he is 67 years old and still going strong. Three weeks ago he pressed 115 pound dumbbells for 8 reps. Below you can see him repping 120 pound dumbbells.

At just 19 years old, Megan Fisher was in a car accident that left her as a below knee amputee. Five years later, with the help of a prosthetic leg, she competed in her first XTERRA World Championship (off-road triathlon race).

In her own words,

“I don’t let things stop me anymore. I try not to use excuses, and almost more importantly, I try not to let people use excuses around me. I don’t want people to give me an excuse to quit, and I don’t want them to have an excuse to quit, because if I’m going, you better go.”

Take a look at her inspiring story below.

Here is a young woman who almost died in an accident, lost her foot, yet still refused to quit. She is now participating in events that most able bodied men and women could only dream of completing.

Her story is a nice match for the Lance Armstrong quote below:

“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?”

Megan’s refusal to quit and instead keep fighting is something that we can all learn from, regardless of our own individual circumstances.

I kickbox and do poledancing (for pleasure not profit!!!!!) and my brothers put gym equipment in my house so I use that, and I ride pretty much every day. Other than that, forgeddaboutit...
 
The best push ups are when a woman who challenged your heart and mind, you very identity, is still pushing you up.
