Hello People of the interweb,

After realising exactly how unfit I've become of late, I decided to try and get back in to the sort of shape that allows you to eat ice cream without getting out of breath. Since I'm lazy and don't have a lot of time, this consists of standard easy to do exercise, you can do pretty much anywhere.

To try and judge my progress, I wanted to know what was the average for internet geeks like myself (those who use forums for example :p ), so here's me poll to figure this out (please answer honestly).

(To figure out how many you can do, just get on the floor and do as many proper (girls can do the girl style press-up if preferred) press-ups as you can until your too exhausted to continue/give up)

Thanks for any answers,
CS-Dude

Voted 21-30 because I reckon 30 is about my max, don't usually bother going that far though. Girly-styled I could do billions because that is literally just bending your elbows back and forth, don't really see the point in it

63 is my highest I've ever done.

On average, I do about 50.

Erm honestly no more than 20 in one set. However I tend to do multiple sets of 5-8 reps with weights rather than loads of reps in one set.

edit: there was this girl I remember from several years ago who our gym class watched as she did 163 full pushups as easy as if she were breathing :|
