Push Ups

I don't know how often normal people do push ups. I used to really enjoy doing them. We even played the world-famous push up game.

The Push Up Game

Each player assumes the ready push up position. (The players should be on their hands and feet only, with nothing else touching the ground.) The first player does ten push ups. The player may take as much time as he or she chooses to complete his push ups. While the player does the ten push ups, the other players must remain in the ready push up position. When the first player completes his turn, the next player takes his turn to do ten push ups. Players continue to take their turn in order. If at any time a player is unable to stay in the push up position, the player must leave the game. Play continues until no players remain.

Most people do push ups with palms down, but some choose to do their push ups with closed fists. If you've always done your push ups one way, the other method will feel a little different. I highly recommend that you take a few minutes to do some push ups using the method you aren't accustomed to using. Go ahead, try it. Now, go back to the closed-fist method like a man.
