I'm not going to test but just move up to level 2. Staying at week 5.
'til Tuesday:bigsmile:

Susan77, welcome! How did you do on your test?
Keiko, way to go on your push ups! You are doing great! Really moving up at a nice pace!
Forpar, hang in there! There were weeks that I didn't do any better than the week before. And even over the weekend I tested 20 less than I did two weeks ago.
Dreven's mom, good to see you back at it and working hard! You're doing awesome!
Today was hard. I honestly think it's because I am dehydrated. I feel wiped out. So drink your water people! It will make a difference! I am going to work on that this week and see if that will help me get back to where I should be.
week 6 level 3 day one (again!)

60 (min 55)
I was hurting through all the sets today. I said a prayer to get me through that last one! My forearms have been burning the last few weeks when I do it. I guess it's from all the cleaning I've been doing.

10, 12, 7, 7, max 19
Oh yes I'm feeling the strength come back. I may actually get to move to a new week next week!!! Hubby feels guilty that I'm doing them by myself, he said he was going to join me again....but we will see.

Forpar

Keep up the good work everybody. I don't know what % of people can get to 100 pushups in 6 weeks, but my guess is that it's about as many as palm trees in Alaska.:noway:

Decided to do the post-week 4 test today and got to 50.:bigsmile:
My initial test was 36, so I'm happy to see progress.
I'm going to try week 5 level 3 starting on Thurs.

:laugh:

keiko

I know what you mean about the getting there in 6 weeks! But that's ok because the more we do them the stronger we get! I have to keep myself thinking positive or I'll become sad.

Today was really hard. I did week 5 level 2. I had to take a couple of extra rests. I might be on this level/week for a few weeks!

MM, I keep meaning to tell you that I love that pic of your little boy! He is the cutest! His smile makes me happy even on days I'm not.

My ex drill sergeant would disagree with that!

This looks like a fun program, I may start it up in March...Thanks for posting it!

mechanicmom

Thanks Keiko! He makes me smile everyday too! :bigsmile: Today he got tired of digging through his toys for something, so he dumped them all out and said, "Oh that was so smart!" He says that a lot. I guess he thinks he's smart or something. We think he's a genius.
Week 6 day 2 level 3. It was easier today. I am really worn out this week but I managed to do well today.

Forgot to do my push ups yesterday, but I got them in today.
Week 3 Day 2 lvl 1 (girly)
10,12,8,8,20 (max 12)
I'm feeling much stronger and I can see some definition in my arms!

janiebeth

If it's not too late, I'd like to join..

I am a real newbie to push ups and very weak in the arms - so I guess I need this a lot.

I will do my initial test tomorrow and let you all know where I am..

thanks, jb

Welcome to the challenge jb! You'll be amazed at how much strength you can build using your own body! I won't say it's not hard but it is oh so worth it!

Yes, well, now of course it must be said that by "a bit more perky" I mean they're only hanging down to my navel instead of my knees.

An old woman's sagging boobs were hangin out between her knees. One boob said to the other "If we don't get some support soon, people are gonna think we're nuts."

Forpar

:embarassed: Ladies, ladies ...

Please excuse me for interrupting.
(Actually, talking about pushups seems kind of boring now)

Anyway, yesterday I started week 5 at level 3:
36
40
30
24
30 (+ 10 after rest - min 40)

Still having trouble knocking out the last set - makes my manboobs droopy just thinking about it :frown:

Marla64

:laugh:

keiko

Forpar, I've only done level one and now I'm on level two. But I find the 2nd & 3rd days easier. There are more sets but they're shorter. I even managed 45 in my last set yesterday.

Thanks for reigning us back in. Would hate to get the pushup thread locked:laugh:

mechanicmom

Poor Forpar having to put up with girl talk. Marla, you are a riot!
Keiko, I definitely do not like Mondays (my day one). The shorter sets are easier even though there's more of them.
Today was week 6 day 3 level 3 (plank style)
26

Do you all ever total up how many push ups you did altogether? Well, when you get to week 6 day 3 level 3 you will be doing 274 (plus extra on the last set)! Hey if I can do it, any one of you can!
Okay I need to pick my arms up off the floor and go do sit ups and then house work! I may test on Sunday if I can. I was discouraged by last week so we'll see.
MM

keiko

WOW 247! that's alot of pushups! I added up mine from yesterday 120, that's pretty good considering where I started. It's encouraging to see the progress.
Keep up the good work everyone!

keiko

Someone should check up on me:laugh: I went to do my pushups today and I'm thinking this seems like alot more than I had to do on Thur. I write mine on sticky notes so I don't have to turn on the computer early & disturb DH. I grabbed last weeks on Thurs. when I was on level 1. No wonder it felt like such an easy day:laugh:
I need to clean off the night stand! or put my glasses on so I can see what I'm doing.

So today I did week 5, day 3, level 2
1&2 18
3&4 20
5&6 17
7 20
8 at least 45, I got there but it was hard my arms are sore. But all together that is 175 pushups.

I am going to be out of town next week because my mom is having surgery. I probably will not have internet access so I won't be checking in. I will be doing week 5 level 2 again.
I hope you all have a good week:flowerforyou:

Marla64

Hey....week 3, level 1 day three yesterday....

mechanicmom

We will miss you Keiko!
Marla, you are doing great! I am glad you are still here!
Hello to everyone else! :happy:
I didn't test over the weekend because my back was tight. So today I decided to test and I did 78. Not as good as I hoped but that's okay. It's better than last week. Today I am going to do 5 sets of as many as I can since I tested and then I will go back to week 6 level 3 day 2 on Wednesday.
So here it goes:
78
62
43
38
50
271 total
My arms are shaking!
See you all on Wednesday! Have a blessed day!

Well I will be doing Week 3 again. I have done this week about 4 times now and I always forget to do day 3!!!! I knock out day 1 and 2 and then when it's time for day 3 I forget. So my goal this week is not only to get my push ups done (all three days) but also be ready to move on to week 4!

Lyn_Matthews

Got my push ups in yesterday just forgot to post em
Week 3 Day 1 level 1 (girly)
10,12,7,7, 24 (max 9)

Last night I managed to do 3 real push ups. I probably could have done 5 but I wasn't really trying I was playing with the baby
