    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


    http://www.hundredpushups.com

    http://www.twohundredsquats.com http://www.twohundredsitups.com


    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.

    I can only do push ups on my knees at this point in good form - I squeezed out 7 in the initial test - at what point is a person strong enough to go to their toes?

    Monday: I completed 150 Squats w/barbells in the evening and I also did 75 in the morning. I did a total of 400 AB's with my Abwork in Body Pump and my 40 minute AB's Class. I also did 18 3 count push ups.

    Please note: My Squats will be done as follows Monday, Weds and Sat based on the schedule above and on Monday and Weds will be my AB's class so no morning Ab work will be done on those days.

    Tuesday: I completed 75 Squats and my butt was still sore from last nights squat series and I did my 100 sit ups tonight I will do my remaining 100 sit ups and my push ups.

    You all are doing great!

    Succeddin2 - thanks so much for flagging this challenge up. Spotted it yesterday, had a look online and did my initial test this morning. Actually think this is a physical challenge I can do on MFP as it just allows you to go at your own pace. Always been rubbish at press-ups and can't wait to get better!

    Initial test:

    Press-ups (on knees): 3 (pathetic!)
    Sit-ups: 60 (room for improvement!)
    Squats: 63 (give me six weeks and I'll be up to 200!)

    Wednesday: I completed 150 Squats w/barbells in the evening I did a total of 400 AB's with my Abwork in Body Pump and my 40 minute AB's Class. My arms were tired from Pump so I did not think my push ups would be effective I will do them tonight.

    Thursday: I completed 75 Squats and I did my 100 sit ups tonight I will do my remaining 100 sit ups and my push ups.

    You all are doing great! :flowerforyou:

    Hey! I am on Week 2, Day 3 of the Hundred Pushup Challenge. LOVE IT! My initial max was 7. Tonight's max was 20!!!! And the adrenaline was PUMPING! I powered through them will all I had in me, and I am please we the results! Next is the exhaustion test.

    I posted a link to the Hundred pushup site on Facebook, and got my sister-in-law and her sister to join! I can't wait until I can do 100 pushups! Even if I don't make it in the allotted 6-weeks, I WILL keep working at it until I can do it, just to prove to everyone that it is possible! My friend's husband said he would buy me a beer if I can do it, lol! Keep up the awesome work, everyone! Also, the makers of these challenges have merchandise, so you can let the world know what you are doing! Pretty cool! I totally want to get a hundred pushups t-shirt :tongue:

    Just completed my first exhaustion test, after completing the first 2 weeks of the 100 Pushup Challenge. I did 7 pushups (from the toes) on my initial test. Today I did............................ 25! Yeah! So for those that think they can't do 100 pushups, or even 5... YOU ARE WRONG! Give it a try!

I started at 75 squats and let me tell you it still is a challenge to me but by week 6 I should be able to do 200.

    Saturday: 160 Squats w/ weights, 10 push ups on the toes and a few side planks
    Sunday: 75 Squats
    Monday: 160 Squats w/ weights, 10 push ups on the toes and a rolling plank.
    Tuesday: 75 Squats 50 sit ups AM (ran out of time I did the treadmill this morning at 5:30 am) tonight will try to do 150 AB’s

    My shoulders are sore from Body Pump today so I will re do my push up initial test tomorrow the next day after Body Pump I am usually sore but I will be fine tomorrow morning.

    Hey, I'm on W3D3 of the squat challenge, I've decided to add in push-ups (from the knees as I can't even make 5 full push-ups). I shall be doing W1D1 tonight :bigsmile: I have a pretty intense workout schedule on top, Monday is my only day off so I'm not sure about the 200 sit-ups on top. I may have a go at the test tonight and see how I do.

    Nice to meet you :flowerforyou:

    Hey,
    Did W3, D3, L3 of squats and did 167 in total.

    Did W1, D1, L2 of push-ups (from the knees) and did 30 in total.

    Am feeling like I should be adding sit-ups - but still not clear on difference between a crunch and a sit-up and yes I've read the instructions!!
