I'm volunteering to create *one of* this week's challenges. Last week our challenges were based on food, how about an exercise challenge this week?

Can you do 250 push ups in 1 week? Any type will do: regular, on knees, inclined (on steps, etc.), whatever you can manage and will challenge you.

To make it more fun, you can also include a photo of you doing your push ups. Good luck everyone!

    Oh dear Jesus! It might kill me, but I'd rather do this than cut flour:)

    Just did the math. That would be 36 per day, right?

    I think I might be able to manage this.

    Sure why not I think I should be able to do this better than the cutting sugar last week.

    Thanks for doing this Jamaicanlady, I'm definitely in!! Planning on incorporating squats as well.
    Loving these weekly challenges - feel quite proud of the amount of sugar I cut out from my diet last week (already feeling the difference) and quite excited to see how I go with the pushups :smile:

    so are we supposed to do this new push-up challenge in addition to keeping week one's challenges continuing?

    I suck at push-ups but will try it. would love to improve my arm strength. I suppose a week of push-ups will be a good start.

    Just did the math. That would be 36 per day, right?

    I think I might be able to manage this.
    I would have to break that down to 9(4 times a day)
    Thank you for the math part.
    Even though I will be doing the wall push ups

    Wall push ups are a type of incline push ups so ABSOLUTELY.
