Does anyone here want to be involved in this challenge:

I want to start tomorrow with 10 push ups and then add 3 more each day so to do 100 push ups in a day on the next 31 of May.

Only 2 simple rules:

1) THEY MUST NOT BE CONSECUTIVE...YOU MUST DO THEM DURING ALL THE DAY (for example on the first day 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening beforo going to bed);

2) JUST DO THEM!

Join the challenge and help me to get at 100 pushups in a single day :)

    Yeah I'll join you in this.

    Am not very good at push ups so will be good to try and improve this.

    Are girly push ups ok or do they need to be full ones?

    Right, I am utterly TERRIBLE at press ups, it's completely embarrassing. It's about time this changed! I'm in (girly ones to start though I'm afraid). Thanks for starting this! x

    P.S: By 1st June, we'll be so amazing at them that we'll have to do a month of one handed press ups or clapping ones etc...

    That's actually a really good idea! I've just done my first five push-ups then. Can I add 10 sit-ups a day?

    This is total karma. I've been doing 15 sneaky push-ups at work and looking like a perv. (you know all red faced and out of breath walking out of the bathroom.)

    Now I can say I've entered some kind of challenge/event and get credit.

    You are ON!

    Edit: Since it is already after midnight I guess we've already started.

    I've always done squats in the bathroom too. Push-ups would be a bit more difficult. You must have larger bathrooms than we do. I have to wait until I go home to do these, but 10 is easy.
