  • I've been slacking on the push ups this week. Only because I've taken this week off from excercise to give my body a break. :drinker: I think I can add push ups. BRB with amount

    Come on guys!! How is everyone else doing?!

    I will be starting week 2 day 1 tonight after work. It'll be interesting to see how I do! I think I might try the sit up challenge as well. I've seen some other posts that gave me the idea.

    I did the first 3 weeks of the sit ups and am now doing maintenance sit ups (crunches though) until after I have my son. I was able to go from 40 to 93 in 3 weeks and I'm 8.5 months pregnant. :) It definitely works!
  • 31 push ups on a small incline. My arms are tired!

    Holy cow! That's so great! Congrats on the baby boy to be! I definately better start the sit up challenge tonight! I'm still staring at a flabby belly after having two kids...and that was three years ago. That's for the inspiration!

    Great work!
  • Just finished Week 3 Day 3!!!!!!


    94 total, max set was 27.

    Going to do two extra max sets this afternoon, but I can DEFINITELY see this working. I've more than doubled my initial test already.

    I'm starting the 200 Squats today too.

    Ok, so since started this challenge, I've been doing 10 push-ups a day and I'm already passed 100, and sitting at 120 for the month! :bigsmile:

    If I keep it up, I could have 300 by the end of the month!! Wow, that's probably more in my entire life time, lol! :laugh:

    How's everyone else doing???

    Dang you guys! Your doing great! I missed my day yesterday, we were busy, so I'm going to make up for it tonight! I'll post later how many I get too. lol
  • 20 real big boy push ups!!! :drinker: I'm going to start from here and work my way up. I was previously doing push up on an incline but I figured I would try the real ones.

    Me too! I totally skipped a whole week! *meep*....I'm starting back up strong today though and plan to finish out the month. We got this, you can do it. :flowerforyou:
  • Okay, I'm a total loser on this one, I haven't done it at all. the truth is I won't start this week either since I have a skating competition this weekend and I don't really want to do anything that is going to make me sore leading into that. I did however want to say that I'm proud of all of you who are doing it, and send you some encouragement and kudos!!!! Keep up the good work!! If you do it again next month, I might get my tush in gear.

    I completed W2 D1 on Friday and W2 D2 on Sunday...so I feel a little more respectable!
  • Finished Week 4 Day 2!!!!!

    Total of 253 modified push ups.

    Sets of 20, 25, 20, 20, and max.
    My first max was 40.
    I did two extra max sets of 48 and 40.


    I am so happy! I can't believe the improvement I'm seeing. I started only being able to do 16 in a row, and it was a struggle.
  • I'm doing this by myself! Come on guys!!

    Finished Week 4 Day 3 today, 23, 28, 23, 23, and a max set of 51. :)

    Two more max sets planned for this afternoon.

    HERE I AM! lol! Okay! Last week was rough but I'm to week three of modified pushups. At the end of week two I was averaging 80 pushups so I'm thinking 100 is in my sights for this week!

    That means I start REAL pushups next week...*cry* LOL! I'm excited...it will just be sad to go down to like 5 pushups...and collapse into a shivering mess! Ha ha! Who knows, maybe I will surprise myself! :o)

    Amanda...I want to see pictures of these guns!!! You will practically be able to give birth and help the doctors at the same time!!!

    How the heck are you doing pushups this far along in your pregnancy? I'll be doing week 2 day 3 tonight. You are not alone! There are a few survivors out there!
  • 25 pushups today :wink:

    Finally finished week 2 for a total of 60 modified pushups. I'm not doing this consistently and I'm paying for it! Today was hard!

    So I punished myself and started the 200 pushup challenge tonight. Ugh...that was painful!

    Keep up the good work everyone!
