100 Push-up challenge! Who's with me?

ajbeans

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!

I'm in!!!!! Can't wait

I've started the initial test so many times but never kept up, maybe now I can hold myself accountable

ajbeans

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.

mmtiernan

I'm in! Always wanted to do this challenge!

LareishaH

I love challenges! I'm in!!!

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.

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

I'm in week 4 of this program, and it ROCKS!!!! I hope you find a good group to support you in this. This program WORKS!! I have doubled the amount of pushups I could do a month ago. Good luck! You're going to love this!

skinnyme125

I will join. I want to improve my arms real bad any way and this sounds like it could actually be kind of fun.

dlaplume2

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.

I'd like to join, as my trainer started making me do pushups, my first try was 3 and by the 3rd I was at 10... So I will start with everyone else on Monday? ...

lionempress

I'm down too. I need to get these arms in shape and I want to confront push-ups. I'll do my test tonight!

rockabyesarojane

ajbeans

Yay! We're getting a nice-sized group! I think we can fit about 8 more.

TabithaN

I'm new to MyFitnessPal, but I'm in if there is still space open.

mnishi

Count me in! I love a good challenge.

xnattiex

I have been setting myself some challenges for the next few weeks and this would fit in nicely, so i am in if you will have me

ajbeans

Awesome! 3 more, or whoever joins in the next 10 minutes, whichever comes first. I have to leave the house and I want to close out the group while I can still edit the original post.

SweetToothMelissa

I'm in week 4 also of this challenge. My initial test I managed 9, and now I can do 36 consecutive. It is hard but it works!

Woo Hoo!!!! Thanks!!! Will do my test over the weekend! Can't wait to get started!

ajbeans

Awesome! We're at 20 members, so I don't want this group to get any larger now, but if there's someone out there who wants to do the challenge, doooo it! Feel free to start a companion group if you want to do it alongside this one. Could be fun!

ajbeans

So people, what do you think? Do we want to just use this same thread until we max out the posts? Or should we start a new thread each week? What would work better for you?
