here's my challenge to myself....and since it's always much more fun to do things in groups, i'm inviting you to join me! ALL of you!

my goal for November is to do 50 push ups a day. this may not be a bunch for some of you. but for me, and many others, it IS alot.

i typically do my push ups on my exercise ball. if you can only do "girly" push ups, the do those. if you can do the "boy" push ups, then do those. do whatever style you can.

have a bad knee/ankle/hip...do your push ups against a wall. stand with your feet away from the wall (24" more or less) then do your push ups against the wall. it WILL make a difference. you may want to add more since they aren't quite as difficult. but they WILL help tone your upper body too.

imagine what our arms will look like when we are done! the additional movement to your workout routine will also kick up your burn a bit.

who's in? friend me if we aren't friends already. send me a message to let me know you are in so i can keep an eye on your progress.

do 50 a day. or 100 every other day. you CAN do this!!!

    I like this challenge...push ups are something that I have been avoiding, but would like to start in on. I will have to start with the girlie ones for now. Hopefuly this will change by the end of the month.

    This is something that I can easily add to my mornings. I am new here and the small steps are the ones that I am looking for right now. Thanks for this, I am in!!
