I have recently gotten back to doing pushups. I stopped doing them ten years ago when I destroyed my rotator cuff.
There are too many days when it's difficult to believe how sore my body is all over. Ankles, wrists, knees, back... the late fifites are kicking my butt.
Do you stretch regularly? My PT has advised some stretches which I do daily, mostly after swimming. But I do them if I don't swim also.
