    I started it 2 weeks ago. I just took the 2 week follow up test and did 30. Not bad since my initial test I only had 12.

    To be totally up front, I can not do regular push ups yet (carrying 200 extra pounds will do that), so I am doing slanted pushups for now (45-55 degree angle or so). Once I finish the program, I am hoping my increased strength and lower weight will allow me to start the program over with regular push ups. If not, I will do the program again at a 25-30 degree angle and keep working at it till I can do standard push ups.


    I would be more than happy to add anyone doing this program to my FL to keep each other motivated.


    Also, I am doing the 200 squat program as well.

    If you go to the same website and scroll down a bit, you will find a tab to take you to a sit up challenge. It's a 200 sit up challenge, but you could take it as far as you want.


    Edited because the quote was not right.

    This really sounds like fun.
    I bookmarked the site for later, currently I'm doing P90x (only the strength training discs) and Shred in 30 in the days between my P90x workouts. There's already a lot push-ups in that one already.
    I will start with this challenge as soon as I have completed P90x, I'm currently in week 3.

    Okay MissJacki .....I'm reluctantly in. I only say reluctantly because my fragile male ego has been crushed already, being beat out by every woman in the thread....LOL....this is ridiculously embarrassing. I have .....5, sheeesh. How long will this program go, just till you hit 100?

    6 weeks huh. I guess I can embarrass myself for 6 consecutive weeks....lol. What the hell----

    P.S. Are we starting right away...as in this week?

    I can probably do 100 of the easy girly push ups. The real ones....not one. I just collapse.

    I had never heard of this challenge- decided to give it a whirl! Did 14 for the initial test- my 4 year old daughter also participated. After I put her to bed, I did the week one day one- my arms and core hurt, but it is a good hurt! Keep up the good work everyone =)

    I started this program yesterday and decided to add the sit-up and squats to round it out. Maybe to ambitious but I like to shoot high.

    Day 1, week 1, level 1, completed. Does it matter if we check in once a week or after every day of working out? The program is designed for only 3 days a week.

    I'm in. I'm starting at level 1, can't even do one full push up, the knee push ups are easy for me so I'm gonna try level 1 of the regular push ups
