One Hundred Pushups

THANKS NEED TO DO LOTS OF PUSHUPS. IWOULD LOVE TO DO 60 IN 2 MINUTES FOR THE ARMY....WELL C. i WILL GIVE IT A TRY.:happy:

Yes! Thanks for sharing! I'm totally going to do this! I've been talking about wanting to be able to do lots of push-ups because they are GREAT for arm strength...and really over-all strength! SO, thank you! Maybe we should start this as another group challenge and post our progress??

Maybe we should start this as another group challenge and post our progress??

By Jove, I think you've got something! :bigsmile:

Well...then let's do it!!!!! I will be doing them on Tuesday, Thursday, and either Saturday or Sunday. SO...why don't we start a new post weekly and keep each other motivated and updated with our progress!?!

Who else is in?? And anyone starting today? This can be Week 1 thread and next Monday we'll start "Week 2: 100 Push Ups." Sound good??

Good luck!!!!!:drinker:

Good! Hopefully some others will join us! I think tonight I will try and do the test...but I'm going to a Body Pump workout right after work and that works the arms also...so we'll see how many I can do tonight. But like I said...tomorrow I will start with day 1 of week 1!

I wish you luck msarro!!!!:drinker:

Yay! Dothompson...glad to have you!!!!!!:bigsmile:

15 unmodified pushups. Not a bad start... will be getting to the meat of it tomorrow!

It is with great sadness that I report I can only do 8 modified push ups:blushing: :blushing:

I will do this Tues, Thurs. and Saturday or Sunday and hopefully see some improvement. What a weakling I am!!!!!:laugh:

Haha, you're not a weakling, you're just not used to it! Just think, you could have done no push ups!

Ooh, will you have me in this challenge too. I would love to join. Looks like a great program. Used to do 20 pushups, but will do the test tomorrow. Or maybe later today, but just did a workout y'day that included many pushups. Would love to be able to pump out 100!

Well..although I was able to do 15 modified push-ups, I will be following the middle plan since I do have rather weak arms. So, starting tonight. I will be following Day 1 of the 6-10 push ups. I'm going to be doing modified push ups starting out. I'm hoping by week 3 I can start doing the "real" push ups!

Well...Good luck to everyone joining me! We can DO this!!!!!!!! :drinker: I will post tonight with how Week 1 Day 1 goes!

Started out this morning since my neck kept me home from work. I figured the shoulder stretching from pushups might help.

Did two sets of ten, a set of 8, then a set of 6, but I couldn't reach the seven on the maxing out part. Did ok though I think

Hey I'm in! I did the test this morning and could do 6 real full pushups. Pathetic! I did day one with modified pushups today. This week will be on my knees. I think next week I can do the first week again with full push ups. I also do Taebo and that works the upper body a lot so I might have to do some weeks over again. I am doing Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week but next week I think I will do Mon-Wed-Fri. Cool! I'm glad someone brought this up! My hubby may even join as he's been trying to do pushups and won't want me to get ahead of him. :laugh:

ok..so I did the test..and I officially suck at push ups.
I am rank one..2 at a time..

Hey hey...it's alright! That's the whole point of this challenge! Start SLOW and eventually be able to do 100! I am SO excited to get there!!!! When I do, I might even order myself a tee-shirt!

Good luck guys!!!!!:flowerforyou:

ok, 31 press-ups (or us UKers), and now i hurt.

Always wanted to get better at these (and sit ups) but they don't feature in my gym work. Now i have the motivation i think they might (just need a sit up challenge)

Wooohooo! Just...literally...just finished doing Week 1 Day 1 (medium group) and I can say that at the end level (max) I did 10. So...can't wait to continue!!!! Yes! First day done! I wish everyone else good luck! I'll be back on Thursday!!!!:drinker:

I'm a little late, but I'm in! Hoping I can do at least 5 push-ups...!
