    I might modify it and just see if I can do 10,000 in the month of October. that would be a good one? maybe 11,000 in November and 12,000 in december, january would be easy with a thousand though. haha

    Use the 100 pushups programme? There's even a free phone app...

    I have. I am trying to repeat, with a little more umph....hence, the +5 per day

    I will skip the candy bar on the 31st and shoot for a thousand pushups that day. just to get the point across. I have done 500 in a night at work before, I was kinda sore that day. but I will do the October challenge, its the challenges that keep me on track.

    Cool, can I have your candy bar? Then I can have 2 on the 31st! :wink:

    Push ups are not my favourite exercise but my new mantra is JUST DO IT, NO EXCUSES. So guess what? I am IN on this challenge. By the end of October, who knows maybe I'll change my mind about how I feel about push ups or I confirm how I feel about push ups. Let the challenge begin.

    I've been meaning to learn to do proper push-ups, and a group candy bar session sounds like a party. I'm in!

    I'm thinking about starting a group for the pushup challenge. Do we need one, or just keep using this thread?

    That much work doing the same exercise is a great way to get repetitive stress injuries. Not for me thanks.
