    I did 10 last night and 10 this morning. They are girly one right now but maybe in a few weeks I can do the others.

    Count me in! I avoid push-ups like the plague.:laugh:
    I think it's time to change that. I may need to start off with a modified push-up but I'll work up to it.
    Going for my morning 10 right now. Even though it's 1 in the afternoon....I've been having a lazy day.

    I did mine last night in BodyPump Class! I think I did 4 sets of 10 and 2 sets were with one arm up on the step. Will do more tonight - I was too sore this am!

    In response to the pushup post earlier...

    I propose everyone who is interested to do ten pushups before they go to sleep and ten in the morning. Every morning, every night.

    If this means two sets of five, five sets of two, or even ten sets of one, get it done. In one week, you will have done 140 more pushups than before. That makes a HUGE difference!! It will also put you in the health-mentality for your day and keep you from snacking at night if you know those pushups are calling...

    WHO's WITH ME?? let's try it!

    I vote for trying the real ones before the girl ones - do 1 real, then girl and gradually build up to it.

    I'll try to be in, but I don't know how motivated I'll be. If it's not in circuit class, I tend to skip them.

    As for the girl pushups.... try least a couple real ones after your ten girl--its the only way we will get strong enough to some day do lots of real pushups our your new rockin bods!!

    I'm all for it, but can I do "girl" push-ups?

    :flowerforyou: Count me in, but with a slight twist - I'm going to do mine on top of an exercise ball. Maybe even 10 push back and 10 straight up. The ball is a blast! Plus, when I'm upside down on the ball and my dog walks in, she gives me an odd look, comes over and gives me a slobber and goes to sit on the far side of the room, like, "I'll be over here...just in case you fall." :tongue:

    Love it!!!!! :laugh: I'm right there with you (10 sets of 1)!! I did mine last night and again this morning ..... I almost forgot this morning so right before I walked out the door I sent the kids out to the garage to get in the car and I dropped and gave 10 ......... a very WEAK 10 ....... but they were the real pushups - even though I'm not going down very low and I'm pretty shaky still ....... oh well ..... our arms will look great!! :wink:

    I have been stuck for about 2 months trying to get myself back on track and I think this may help.

    I'm soooooooooo sore. I did my pushups last night and this morning. I feel it more in my chest than arms. Keeping this up I should have sexy firm arms and the girls should stand at attention again.:bigsmile: I wish :bigsmile: :drinker:

    I did mine last night. I managed to do 5 girly ones (just barely!) and I did the other 15 on my exercise ball. Where are you Amy?

    Im in considering I started the push up thread lol-- Im a little late and i already worked out so I will have to do my push ups in the morning- so the challenge is to do 10 in the am and another 10 in the evening? I would do some tonight but I am about to fall over because I am half asleep I will get them in tomorrow--

    Oh I talked to my husband (in the army knocks out pushups like no tomorrow) and he said its easier to do pushups when you get your blood flowing because your adrenaline will have kicked in compared to just doing them.

    I'm doing 3 sets of 10 at night....need to work on the morning though! I usually get up, get ready and jump on my bike to get to work. It's always down to the last minute! Since I ride my bike it's important I get to work 10 minutes earlier than everyone. I put my bike in the locker room and I don't like trying to get around everyone with my bike and all my biking stuff. :happy:
    So I'm going to try and do them as soon as I get to work. :tongue:

    How is everyone else doing?

    So far I have done 2 days of the push up challenge, and I feel accompished. I have never been a big fan of push-ups but I can at least do a "girlie" one or ten.:wink:

    keep it up!

    --planks are one of the best core workouts! I do a 25 minute ab workout every other day that includes four sets of one minute front planks and four 30 second planks on each side.

    So hows everybody doing? I ate HORRIBLE over the weekend and didn't really (at all) work out, but I did my ten pushups morning and night!

    I'm doing girly push ups for now bc that all I can do, but I'm going to start adding in regular push ups- as many as I can- then finish off with the girly ones. This morning: 2
