    Staying in shape is a lot easier than getting into shape, esp when you get older.

    Next time when you start working out, do so with a coach. Or just build up really slowly. Start with 5 times 1 pushup. Wait 1 or 2 days, then do 4 times 1 and one time 2. Repeat as needed, and add 1 push up when you feel ready. I know people starting to run have the same problem. The majority of people who start running after a long period of inactivity exert themselves way too much in the beginning, and then injure themselves.

    Build up slowly and take care.
    Amen, to that! But the larger issue is that "pushing harder when it hurts" is yet another part of the "AD" behavior that we see so frequently, here on SRP. Perhaps "collecting cures" -- even from well-informed lay people -- is just MOTS (More Of The Same)? Health insurance? No. Brushes and razors and stones? Oh my!! As someone I used to know was fond of saying, "Ya can't take it with ya." (translation: sell a couple or three razors, and use the money to see a friggin' doctor... then, reread Bruno's excellent post). Just my $0.02 -- YMMV.
