100 push-up challenge, 200 Sit up Challenge and the 200 Squa

succeedin2

MFP’s I need your support - I have started the following three challenges 100 push-up challenge, 200 Sit up Challenge and the 200 Squat Challenge and I need you all to do it with me to make me more accountable. Please Note: We are not doing all 100 or 200 at once but we are working towards that number in small increments weekly and this will help us to get stronger and helps us to reach our fitness goals.


If you have not yet joined the challenge, you still can and post here if you are interested in joining the challenge. You can either do any one of the Challenges or all three if this is too easy I challenge you to do the challenge with us 3 times a week and customize it to challenge yourself. Here are the websites for each of them

What do you do next? (1) Print the initial test (2) After you take the test based on your fitness level print out only the weeks that you need for instance for the sit up challenge since I was able to do 100 yesterday, there was no need for me to start with weeks 1-3 therefore I have modified the program to fit me since I do both an AB’s and Pilates class my core is pretty strong so I am doing 100 regular sit ups and 100 sit ups with a twist to work the oblique’s for the squats, I also modified them to my fitness level yesterday I did 75 so I will just do 100 a day except on days where I have Body Pump because this new routine has a lot of squats so yesterday I actually did 75 at home and a million at the health club.


(3) See how many you can comfortably do that is the key if you are already athletic, maybe those numbers are too low for you, just double them or adjust them to fit your individual needs this is not a rigid challenge. Side notes: You don't have to do the push ups on your toes the knees are fine but the goal is to get on those toes but your goal can be to stay on the knees either way, you benefit my goal is on the toes. I am so excited about our challenge if you are doing this you are taking yourself to the next level!


Push ups always sound intimidating but most of us have taken the initial test however today, take the initial test and tomorrow start based on where you fit or at week 1 also we rest for a couple of seconds before our next set of push ups and soon, we won’t have to rest. It really exciting to have accountability partners like you all and I encourage you if you are doing one of challenge, try two, two try three unless you have health issues that prevent any of them.

Keep it up the pushups will start to come easier.. try diferent variations so you work different parts of your arms and chest then you won't be as sore. I try to do 5 different ones. Wide, normal, military, decline, heart to hearts...

I am doing a 100 day sit up challenge with my cousin. Of course he is a cross fit instructor so he is putting me to shame. We started with three sit ups and have upped it every day by three. Today is 114 and I am not excited!

Imagine sitting in a dinner chair but just stopping before you bottom hits the seat, a squat is using the legs (quads) and buttocks for pushing back up. Your back should be slightly bent forward, if you go online you will be able to find many examples.

Here is one site to start with.

I am loving this already! I am doing the 100 Pushup Challenge. My initial test was 7 good-form pushups, from the toes. The actual first day I was able to do 9 on the last set, and yesterday, which was Day 2, for my last set I got 13! So I am already seeing progress.

For those that don't know what each of the exercises are, or how to do proper form, they explain it all on the site. AND they have merchandise you can buy to let the world know how awesomely strong you are or are becoming! :bigsmile:

I did my initial test on Monday for the squats and push up challenge. Unfortuately, I am terrible at push ups so I was only able to get 4 on the initial test. However, on the squats initial test I was able to do 40 so it recommended that I start out on Week 3 of the squat challenge. I am also only doing them every other day like it says to do. Hope that is ok....I noticed that others are doing them every day.

8/22...... 15 push ups (toes) / 142 squats (this includes the 40 in the inital test)
8/24..... 27 push ups (knees) / 112 squats
8/26..... was not feeling well at all so I took a rest day. Will do these on Sat. ( Will probably be pretty close to 8/24 totals)

I will be doing my push ups on my knees from here on out. The toe ones are just a little to much for me right now.

week 1
day 1 25

I am much better with my squats I should have went with that, but I will keep keeping on.

Everyone is doing a great job! I had a weekend get away so I did my 75 Squats each day, I did my sit ups with the exception of yesterday I will do extra this week to make up for it. When I get home I will do my 100 sit ups and then run to body pump where I will get my 150+ Squats in addition to my 75. Tonight I will say for AB's class to make up for the 200 I am missing from yesterday.
