Middle School Workout

Brandt has PE this semester, and with coronavirus, he's been doing at home workouts.  Today I didn't ride my bike, so I offered to do his workout with him.  I tell myself I'm relatively fit and active, and I wanted to encourage Brandt.  So I put on my workout clothes and we launched in.  The workout is below.  Brandt did everything super fast, jumping around and pushing up far more quickly than I.  But I plugged away.  I discovered that I can't do a push-up to save my life.  I was doing knee push-ups but that didn't matter.  I still can't do one.  I ended up doing cobra pose, more than a push-up.  To my credit, I can bend further than Brandt; he can't touch his toes and I can.  I can also do squats without any real damage.  However, everything else was agony!  Jumping, which we were doing with jumping jacks, straddle hops, toe hops, and stride hops, was horrible.  As you can see, we were supposed to work through three rounds of the workout, and by round number three, my ankles were screaming in pain.  I wasn't able to finish.  Brandt did.  Blythe joined us for one round and finished fine.  Her form wasn't terrific and she can't do a push-up either, but she was speedy with everything else.  Looking at the picture, my mountain climber form isn't all that great either. Turns out, I'm not thirty anymore.  In my mind I am.  But my body let me know that while mentally I may be thirty, in reality, I'm just shy of fifty.  I no longer have a middle school body.  I'll likely be sore for days and days.
