TGIF Fitpeeeps! Friday is PUSH-UP day! 100 push-ups!
They can be broken up throughout the day but must be done by midnight.
No fear there are several levels so ANYONE can do these!
Personally, I'm not a fan as they are REALLY hard for me. I can barely do 5 standard so this will be a serious challenge for me!
Level 1: Wall, ledge or counter push-ups (standing at a sharp angle, slow and complete)
Level 2: Modified push-ups (on knees)
Level 3: Standard push-up
Level 4: Fancy one-armed push-up
Push yourself to do AS MANY AS YOU CAN! A combination of levels even?
Sets are not necessary but streching out your arms and rotating wrists is recommended before/after.
Who's down to drop and give me 100?
NEXT WEEK
If anyone is interested, I will repeat this week of mini challenges so that everyone can try to beat their previous number. You will list your previous number and present number like below-
Crunches: Week 1/200 Week 2/225
The whole point of these was to not only hold myself accountable to the challenges but to remind everyone that you CAN indeed fit exercise in ANYWHERE and that progress requires challenge or you will never know just how much you are capable of!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Absolutely! :-D I was hoping you were going to do pushups :-D
I'm totally in for next week too - these are just great because they are numbers I wouldn't normally shoot for - so having you challenge us with them is super motivating for me. I'll do these as long as you post them! :-)0 -

Oooh...this one is scary...I have tried to do pushups recently and couldn't do too much more than 10! And there is no way I can do anything other than the countertop and wall ones while I am here at work...bathroom stall is too small and the bathroom itself is even too small, I would risk having a door slam into my head and feet if anyone came in while I was doing them! I'll try it though! Thanks for the challenge!0
