Already, my shoulders are feeling much better as I'm a side sleeper and my shoulders have been bothering me for the last few months if I don't roll over during the night.
Push ups are not a issue. But I am having to work back up to the number I once could do.
While some may scoff at fitness exercises. I feel that they will keep me in shape to stay on my race fit bicycle for a long time to come. Being more upright is a drag. And waste of power that can be used for distance and/or speed.
Side sleeper too and both shoulders have been hurting lately. mostly the left side because that's where the short wave is and I'm often tuning through the night. I hadn't thought that pull ups might help remedy this. Time to cowboy up!
