Phil Bowermaster at the Speculist, a futurist technologies website, has also been documenting his working towards a healthier Phil. In his latest entry he mentions how he’s using push-ups to get his strength training going and has a great tip:

I ran into some rotator cuff issues lifting weights and doing other exercises last year, so I’ve been working on figuring out strength training without the heavy loads. That’s a bit of a challenge. One thing that I found that’s working is half push-ups. Instead of going into a full push-up pose, I start from my knees. It seems ridiculously easy at first, but it becomes a bit of a challenge after the first few hundred.

In his quest Phil also offers up his excel spreadsheet in Week 10’s post that he’s using to track what he’s doing.
