100 PUSH UPS!

If this is your second (or more) time doing these, try to beat your previous # by 5 or 10! Be sure to brag when you’re done!

Great for your arms/core.

Break them up.

ANY KIND COUNTS!

Super Challenge Option: You might remember this from last month… my very good friend once wrote to me, “I see your 100 push-ups and I raise you 100 squats and 100 sit-ups.” I said, “you’re crazy,” but I accepted. Basically, we did 10 push-ups (any kind still counts), rolled over and did 10 sit-ups (or crunches if you prefer), and then 10 squats. Repeat for a total of 10 sets. This might sound crazy, but I find that breaking it up like this and focusing on another muscle group briefly, makes it easier for me to get though all 100 push ups.

    I'm in. I need to do 100 pushups to complete another challenge of 250 pushups per week I joined so this fits perfectly.

    I'll also do the squats, but situps hurt my back. I will exchange those for standing crunches.
  • In for the super challenge. Started but need finish after work. Thank you for doing these. I look forward to them every morning!

    Wow! That was rough. I think I did the extreme super challenge. 11 sets of 10 (so 110 of each move), full pushups, double crunches while holding a 10# weight against my chest, and 20# weighted squats. Phew!

    Good luck everyone and thanks so much to @jesindc
