    Are we supposed to rest one day between Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3???

    I didn't see anything, but I only had time to skim over it.

    I tested myself today. I did 52, woot. Half way there.

    I, personally, just go at my own pace. I take the rest day when I feel like I need a rest day. :smile:

    Welcome new people! I'm glad to see the thread staying fresh and new!
    Cp, hang in there girl! You're almost there!
    Everyone's doing great!
    I am finally starting to feel a bit like myself again after having the flu. I did week 3 day 1 level one again, plank all the way to the floor.

    Hmm, so I was going to try to do a day of rest between each, and so I was supposed to do Week 1, Day 2 today.

    Well, yesterday I did some core training and played a really intense game of racquetball with a friend. I went to do my push-up sets today, lowered myself for one and I swear I pulled something in my stomach! I was so sore I couldn't even get one push-up out. Which, obviously, means my body didn't need my doing push-ups today.

    So today I gave myself a real day of rest. It was time for a day off from the gym anyway. NOTE TO SELF- Do NOT strength train on push-up off days! :laugh:

    Is it bad to do more days than just 3 days each week? I was going to do M-W-F, but then I ended up doing pushups yesterday because I find them addicting. (Ok, I am sick!) I feel like doing day three day, but I don't want to do damage, either!

    9.... I DID 9 IN A ROW!!!!! WoooHooo..... and then my 12 year old said "I do 20, on my toes"

    Anyway, I thought 3 was going to kill me 5 days ago. LOL

    I think I could really like this thread... I already like it way more than the sit-up thread.... I like seeing everyone show progress and that they are working the program. It seems like everyone does that here.... It is awesome!

    writer4him, I would keep the rest days. Our muscles need to rest/rebuild after we work them. These early weeks might seem easy but just wait! It gets harder. I think you'll really appreciate the rest days then.

    Wanda, I'm so glad that your enjoying the pushups! They are hard but just think of how good your arms will look!

    Today I did week 5, day 2, level 2
    sets 1&2 18
    3&4 20
    5&6 14
    7 16
    8 at least 40 and that's what I did. All together that's 160 pushups! That's amazing!
    I love the feeling of my arms toning!

    Happy workouts:flowerforyou:

    Just got finished reading the introduction page to the 100 pushups and this sounds like a challenge I would like to participate in. I will be taking my test tonight to see where I need to start and will be back to log in my results.

    I will definitely need all the encouragement I can get being that my upper body strength is really weak.

    I have to say that I've been a little scared to start week 5, and it's still too tough for me. I may try going back to week 4.
