    That would reset you to your Day 1. It's never too late.

    You still have plenty of time. Maybe wait until the last week and knock them out then?

    Day 4 - 20 15 15 regular floor push-ups

    Running total: 200

    Obviously I am not going to get to 1500 by June 1st. I'll still keep going until then. Are you guys starting a new challenge for June or do we keep going in this group until we reach 1500?

    just started using this my fitness pal app and it's pretty awesome. This looks like ol' fashion fun I think I will join in even though I'm bout a week behind everyone but that's OK. Was in the service many moons ago and do remember that push-ups can be done every day and develop fast as you keep doing them so here I go haven't done one in a long time.

    If you can't get 1,500 no worries! It might take me a little more than 30 days so it really doesnt matter how long it takes just as long as you put the work in. I will be starting a new pushup challenge like a week or so after i complete this one (there is no rush complete this one first and start the new one when you want) but i will put the link here when i start the new one. I am really getting some muscle tone in my triceps from all the pushups i hope you guys are getting some results too!
