    I'll be your buddy! I was planning on starting Monday too. I am also doing the squats and sit ups challenges.

    This is my last week of Couch to 5K. So, it's about time for me to start involving some strength training.

    I love the FIRM videos I just can't find the time to do them...it's hard to get in a 50 min workout most days of the week. Plus right now my fibro is flaring up and a workout that intense would kill me. But I plan on working back up to it!!

    I'm in! I started fiddling with pushups with this challenge in mind last week. Last night I stopped by to visit my parents while I was travelling through their town for work and my stepfather bet me $50 I would NEVER be able to do 100 consecutive "real" pushups. $50 isn't much money, but the fact that he was so serious about me *never* being able to do it is pretty good incentive. :wink:

    They actually have 20 min workouts as well if you can't do the 50 min. I have two sets and I love it when i don't have time.

    Thanks for posting this site. I went and checked it out.

    I did the initial test and the first day. I'm looking forward to challenging myself with this goal!

    Sent it to my BFFs! Won't they be happy with Me :) Isn't that what friends are supposed to do?

    So, is that your sister or your BF in the photo of you?

    Well I think you & your sister are very beautiful ladies!

    I'd call the Topic "The Push Up Challenge" Or "The Push Up Buddies" because if we start on Monday then you aren't still looking for a buddy. But that said, I would still keep it open to people who want to join.

    Oh, I'm making my husband do it!

    Just to put it out there, I'm starting at the bottom... can barely do two push ups right now, so I'll be starting on column 1 tomorrow!
