I know this isn't a big accomplishment, but I've never been able to do any type of pushup, its always been too hard for me. Well, today I did TEN REAL PUSHUPS. I'm amazed at how I can finally do some, even if it's a small amount.

    Nice progress and congrats. I hit rock bottom on situps and was doing a situp challenge two years ago and was like...uhhh...perhaps another type of situp. So well done and keep up the good work.

    Thank you! I never thought I could do it, I just never had the upper body strength, but now after months i do!

    congratulations!!!

    I do my push ups against the wall in the pool. Can't do anything on the ground everything has to be done in the pool for me.

    I worked on lifting some weights, gradually building a little. I didn't practice them, just thought I'd give it a whirl and was very happy that I could do it! Granted, I was gritting my teeth the whole time, but I did it!

    Nicely done! I'd like to be able to do these too. I just started JM's 30DS and she has you doing them on the first level. I do as many real ones as I can (2 and 1/2 - LOL) and then switch to the knee ones. I would be thrilled to do 10 - congrats and good work!

    That's great! Making progress in exercise is a wonderful feeling.

    If you're feeling extra ambitious, check out the Hundred Pushup Challenge webpage. You'll be knocking out 100 in no time!

    I think it IS a big accomplishment. I still can't do a push up. Hell I can't even do girl push ups lol
