I wonder if anyone here can help out with advice on an odd problem I'm experiencing:
I'm not a fitness freak by any means, but do try to keep in shape. In addition to my general hyperactive running around the city, I usually do karate one or two evenings a week, go swimming once a week and do floor exercises at home once or twice a week too. The floor exercises are pretty unambitious and are pure maintenance level: Normally 2 sets of 30 push-ups, 2 sets of 65 stomach crunches (inc. a hold at the end) and 1 set of 65 leg-ups.
Suddenly, since about a week and a half ago, I can't do my push-ups properly any more. When starting, I immediately feel weaker than normal and by the time I get to around 27-28, my arms are actually giving in. This is very weird since this is normally well within my capability. The other floor exercises (and swimming) feel a bit more difficult too, but I can get through them. For the rest, I feel completely normal - my general energy level seems normal (hyper), I'm eating and sleeping as badly as normal (but no worse), I feel fine... The only thing I can think of is that I've been on holiday and so my exercising and actitivity/feeding patterns were a bit less regular until I got back a couple of weeks ago.
I'm confused - anyone had similar experience or know what this might be?
Thanks.
