Hundred Push Ups May

keiko

Hi Everyone! Glad we made another month.

For anyone new who wants to join you can go to onehundredpushups.com to see how to get started. It really is a nice addition to a workout. And nice for anyone who wants to start doing push ups.

Today I did week 6, day 3, level 1
sets 1&2 13
3&4 17
5&6 16
7&8 14
9 at least 50 and that is where I stopped. It really was a struggle to get to that.
I am going to test tomorrow to see if I'm moving on to level 2 or staying here another week.

Between this and my strength training my arms are feeling good!

Here's to hoping we all have a good April:drinker:

I'd love to join you. I did this last fall but on my knees so I'd like to re-do it on my toes.
I'll keep an eye out for your posts! I'll start tomorrow.

i want to join ive been doing 100 pushups and 100 situps m - f

Cariñosita

I was looking at the website and noticed the 200 situps and 200 squats also. Does anyone know if it's safe to do 2 programs at the same time on alternating days??

Hi keiko - thanks for getting us started! And welcome to all the new folks.
Small correction - the website with the program is HUNDREDPUSHUPS.COM, not onehundredpushups.com.

Today, I did week 1, day 3, level 3 - plank-style (on toes) to the floor:
11
15 (last week I only managed 14)
9
9
min 13 (I managed 12 before I fell - one better than last week)

So, because of that last set, I still didn't quite make it through the week. I really want to get through this without compromising my form, so I think I will probably be repeating week 1 one more time on level 3. I'm still kind of amazed that it's so hard!

Good luck on your test, Keiko - and congrats for making it through week 6!!! Even if you can't remember what month it is... :flowerforyou:

beckyi88

Okay, today was an odd day for push ups to begin.
I workout on occasion with a class at the Y, well, today our trainer decided we needed to do 100 push-ups (probably because I mentioned doing this challenge again)
So in the space of 30 minutes, I did 11 sets of 10 (warm up set didn't count) in a variety of formats...on toes, using the Bosu, declines, staggered hands (one up and one off step) over and backs, standard....
I doubt I will be able to brush my teeth tomorrow!

I tested today and did 15, plank all the way down. Better than I expected considering how I am feeling!
I will try to do week 1 level 3 tomorrow if I remember.
Anyone doing the 200 squats challenge? I thought about starting that up next week. Anyone start a thread for it?

Just saving the thread for later.
I just got my internet back today after moving and I should be back to my normal routine sometime this week. No need to worry about exercise right now, I am sure I've been burning more than enough calories from moving/unpacking and working like a madwoman in the garden. I'll see you guys tomorrow! Back to week 5 of the challenge...I wonder how much progress I have lost on my time off...oh well!

fitgal411

Well, I think I'm going to take a break from pushups for a while. I am doing the 200 situp challenge also, so I'm just going to do that for now.

Good luck, everyone!!!!!!!:happy:

All I have left of week 2 is the endurance test to see how many I can do in a row, which I hope to do over this weekend! Finishing today was rough so I have a feeling I will be stuck in week 3 for a few weeks, but at least I FINALLY finished week 2! Kathy

Did the endurance test for the end of week 2 today, and I was able to do 25. Is there a set number you are supposed to do before moving on to week 3? I will start week 3 on Wednesday...have a pretty big feeling it will take me a few weeks to complete it! Kathy
