Featured on 'The Art of Manliness' are a compiled group of YouTube videos of push-ups from standard to the extreme. While I was watching Devin last week we watched an episode of 'Lazy Town'. In its Sportacus (Magnús Scheving) is asked if he can teach someone to do a one-arm push-up, what results is a series of pretty extreme push-ups. I recorded it on the DVR and have since published it on YouTube you can watch the clip here.
Scheving was born November 10, 1964 in the capital Reykjavík, but grew up in the small town of Borgarnes. In 1992 he became the Icelandic Men's Individual Champion in Aerobic Gymnastics. In 1993, he became the Scandinavian champion, and was the European champion twice in 1994 and 1995. He was voted Athlete of the Year by Iceland in 1994. He is the CEO, creator, and co-founder of LazyTown Entertainment. This company produces books, videos, games, and sporting goods to help promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle to children. He is also creator of the show LazyTown, where he plays Sportacus. He is married to Ragnheiður Melsted, and has three children and one grandchild. Magnus is set to star as one of the villains in the new Jackie Chan film The Spy Next Door which is to be released in 2010.

Oh my gosh. I could never do push-ups and he makes them look so easy. Wow. Just Wow. I'm glad you are able to get back into your workout routine. Heather has started a blog to keep track of her weight loss and to get encouragement from friends. Pray for her.
