I do 20 Judo push-ups every morning before heading out to run.
20 reps is a joke, I know, but since even 10 was really hard at first, it is quite an achievement for me. Anyway, this everyday minimal upper body workout still builds my muscles a bit, making my arms a little bulky. It’s nowhere near MMA fighter-like bulkiness, yet I don’t want it. Nope.
To keep my arms beautiful as well as strong, I’ve been thinking about finding an alternative upper body workout. The problem is that I’ve only been “thinking” rather than actually looking it up. I just keep forgetting.
This idea always occurs to me in the middle of push-ups.
‘Wait, I was gonna stop this and find something else.’
Every time.
But then, since I’ve started already, I just finish it. And I do this every day, because I do it out of habit, unconsiously. I don’t even realize I’ve started anymore.
Same thing happens the next morning, while I’m feeling (minor) pain in my arms.
Inertia is a strange thing, and really, what’s wrong with me?
