Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge
Here's my exercise equipment:
To each their own, but I would not poo-poo the benefits of resistance training, especially at your age... I know it can hurt.. and surely there are folks who do not exercise very much at all, and I am not even sure if I should go over very much of my own past in terms of some of the various kinds of exercises that I have done.. but even though playing the piano and fishing are forms of activity, and it is better than nothing, it would be difficult to classify them in terms of the potential benefits of resistance training.. .again.. poo poo it all you like, there can be some advantages in terms of having strength in your elderly times, whether it is to carry the groceries up the stairs, or to move your piano from one room to another (not that pianos are moved very often) or maybe it is to attempt to get away from the bear when he (or she) is after your fish.
You missed a couple of things.
First of all that's a Hammond organ, not a piano. See the bass pedals? They mean my left leg gets more exercise than either of my arms. Also, while it doesn't weigh as much as a tone-wheel Hammond B3, it and its accessories still represent a decent total weight to haul into and out of a taxicab or up and down stairs.
In the other picture you'll notice the trailer in the background. Being off the grid means lots of work, from hauling in drinking water and other supplies to pulling the recoil starter cable on the Honda generator. That can be exhausting if it has spent any considerable time since being used. Also, I don't allow any motors on our lake. That means either pedaling our pedal boat or paddling a canoe.
The real point I'm making is that productive activity is usually better than exercise for exercise's sake. I laugh when I see people paying a gym and using a stationary bicycle and then driving a car less then a half mile to buy cigarettes, or using a step-up machine and then taking an elevator to avoid going up one or two flights of stairs, or pulling on weights and pulleys while hiring someone to wash their walls. Some people pay to exercise, others get paid.
That's awesome. I'm totally with you on the productive activities. Yesterday I got to mow the lawn, but was only able to do 75 pushups. But today, I've done 3 sets of 15 so far! Let's go.
Pushups Printed: 1000
