You have to admit doing pushups is better than nothing. But I get your point.
Anyhoo, pretty much the day after my previous comment, my dad seemed to become psychic and out of the blue suggested that I exercise every day. I mean I'm not fat or really unfit or anything, but for the last half year I haven't really been able to do much physical activity. I mean not only I do correspondence school and my hobbies are computer-based (sprite ripping etc), but the position we're currently in doesn't exactly let me run around outside and play frisbee or football. In NZ we did plenty of that but right now if I tried to I'd probably hit a car more than once.
In any case, now I'm doing a whole sort of all-round regime. In the morning and evening I do some stretches, push ups, and some general limb movement. After study (about 3-4PM) I do the works. A variety of arm and leg stretches, push-ups*, touching my toes (or trying to)* crunches*, squats*, star-jumps*, jog back and forth* (not much space unfortunately), skip rope, and I also try to jump up and touch my ceiling (not sure if I'll ever get there but it's exercise). By the end, the mixture of the heat and exercise gets me pretty tired and sweaty, but it feels good (the exercise not the sweat). Also when I exercise in the evening I do it just before I go to sleep, so I can fall into bed tired.
So yeah it's going pretty good so far, my arms aren't on fire when doing push-ups anymore
*With these exercises I started at 10 and increased the amount I do by 1 every day, today I'm up to 13.
