Group is full! But if you want to do the challenge, do it anyway! Start another group and do it alongside us. :) We're all in this together!

Today I'm taking the initial test to start the 100 push-up challenge, and I'm going to start with Week 1 on Monday. Who wants to join me? Here's the website:

http://hundredpushups.com/index.html

All it takes is a few minutes at a time, 3 times a week. Push-ups are great for your arms, of course, but they also help build core strength. The website says you can do modified push-ups and still get the benefits from the program, so don't be scared if you feel like you can't do a "regular" push-up. Give it a try!

I'd like to keep this group kind of small-ish. Maybe 15 or 20 people. Not because I want to be exclusive, but I just think we'll be able to support one another better if we don't get huge. So if you want to join, sign up here, and take your initial test today or tomorrow. Then we start Week 1 on Monday!

    Just did my test, and as I expected, I'll be in the far left column for the challenge. I did 5. Tried a 6th, but it was all wobbly and poor form, so I'm not counting it. That's ok! By the end of summer I'll be doing dozens of them. :)

    i just did day one of week one last night... my initial test was 3, LOL. I have no arm strength. However, I did do a total of 13 last night.... for me that's good. :tongue:

    I'll hold off on any more days and begin on monday with everyone.

    That is so cool, I'm in. I started 30day shred doing girly pushup, but now I can do real pushups. This is a good way to increase my numbers.
