What is the 100 pushup challenge?

Check out our first thread. It's simply called "One hundred PushUps" and it has a link with the plan and schedule. Hope this helps. This week is the start of week 2.

I did the modified pushups last week and Saturday morning I was doing 51! So I am starting this morning with Week 1 Day 1 first level, full pushups! I hope I can make it through. I was so sore with the modified pushups!

Okay, there we are. Had trouble finding you guys. Was supposed to do day 2, week 1 today, but my workout consisted of abut 7 kinds of pushups, so no juice left in the arms to do the challenge. managed over 50 as it was,but will do the challenge tomorrow.

Today is the first day that I am actually REALLY sore from my pushups yesterday. Sounds like everyone else is doing really well! Keep it up!!!

FYI...this is the original post that started the week 1 thread last week:

Here's a site with a six-week program to get you to do 100 consecutive push ups!

I am posting my accomplishment for Level 1 - Week 2 - Day 4

Sets: 1 (4), 2 (4), 3 (3), 4 (3), and last but not least set 5 (maxed out at 8 using correct form).

I did them according to the fitness level determined by the above site.

I will reevaluate my ability to do them as ...REGULAR pushups after day 12.

Soon I WILL do 100 regular pushups...commitment + determination = success :bigsmile:

Any other Level 1 people out there??

OK...so I don't hate this like walking on a bed of nails...but still get a feeling kinda like jumping off a cliff to go hang gliding for the first time...very intimidated but somewhat excited!!

SO...I totally forgot to do my pushups this weekend! Argh!:explode: I can't believe it!!! And tonight is my weight night at the gym, so I honestly don't know if I'll be able to do them tonight when I get done, but if not, I will finish up week 2 day 3 tomorrow, then start week 3 on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. So...I will get caught back up! Hope everyone else is doing well! And I will start a week 3 thread right now!

michaelhe

Okay well I was unable to do day three because I got sick on Friday. As of yesterday I was still in no mood to do push ups. Hopefully tonight...

FatDancer

Thank you so much for this post and this challenge...I really needed this today...I've got the relationship blues, I'm feeling heartache today, and this is just what I needed, an additional goal to add to my daily routine.

I copied and saved the link...will read it and begin the challenge today!

Thank you all so very much!

ps...my arms are my least favorite body part and I had been telling myself I needed to do some extra work but just haven't busted a move yet...I'm into bellydance and arms are most important in expressing this artform...so again, thank you so very much!

Lavendersunday

Hello FatDancer....

Please post for today under Week 3 of the pushup Challenge.

Kirsten already started the Week 3 thread that begins today under Motivation.

Sooooo happy you are back!!

~Namaste :flowerforyou:
