    I did 11 on my initial test, which is more than I thought, so level 2.
    I've looked at the website which seems good and I understand how it will work.
    Seriously considering giving this a go, even if it is just to prove to my partner it is possible to do 100 consecutive push ups.
    I'll have to start tomorrow though.

    I signed up as T1m_H (it required a 5 character name). I did 17 so I start on level 3.

    I have to get in on this. 35 for the initial test. I can't imagine doing 65 more of those in a row.

    Is there one for pull-ups?

    The web page has a pull-ups and sit-ups. First things first... sit-ups!!

    Wow - I wish I'd done the level test earlier! My abdominal are sore today from yesterday's test!

    Don't be discouraged starting with a low number. In one year I was able to go from less than one pull up to 6 just messing around. More recently, I was able to go from one pull-up to 13 in a month or two. Keep with the program - push-ups are great for your strength.

    I just finished. Right now - that sounds like a good idea. 73 push ups - my form wasn't very good for the last set and I had to take breaks during it. A nice break will be a good thing!

    Got halfway through my first day workout and got interrupted by some bad news. Will have to start day one over again on Wednesday. I finished the workout, but had an hour long break after the second set.

    I did 20 wall pushups today. I am at work so I dont wanna get on the floor, plus 20 walls looks better than 1 floor. haha.

    I'm in.
    I did a 0 in the initial test, so I decided to try with the incline as well. Once I can do 100 on an incline I'll repeat the program on the floor. It is just to hard right now.

    That's todays done.

    I struggled to push out 8 for my last set but counted 7 which was todays minimum.

    I might need to run the pull-up challenge seperately. I currently do push up set, pull up set, rest, repeat. Might do pull-up sets on a different day if it gets any tougher!

    Surely these count as calories back to eat? I did not count the mins and MFP seems to count them in mins and nor reps!

    I am sure just one tiny bit of chocolate!! :0)

    Week 1 day 1 level 3 done

    10-12-7-7-9 all done in my woolly socks as sooooo cold here

    Level 3 looks tough! It's bloomin' freezing here as well, I did it in my jumper today!

    I read that it's one calorie for each push-up/pull-up. I'll be doing them before a run as soon as my leg is better so won't count them at all. I will try that on friday, use the challenge as a quick warm-up before heading out in the snow!
