    Week 1 Day 1 Column 1 managed just fine today doing real push ups but only managed 4 in the final set. I know I could do more doing girl push ups but then its not so much of a chalenge. I've also done 30 mins on the Wii and I'm now off to do 30DS if I dont collapse

    I'm on a half vacation this week and forgot to post on Monday. I did week 1, day 1, on Monday - level 3 but girlie style. I have not done my pushups for today yet, I'll get to those this afternoon. I took a couple of measurments of my upper arms (holding out to side so all the fat hangs down - lovely), waist, and my chest. I am going to try not to measure again until the end of the program in 6 weeks.

    Day 1:
    Arm = 14"
    Chest = 38"
    Waist = 34.5" (not sure if girl style pushups will widdle this down, but we will see!)
    Total reps = 45 + extra 4
    Difficulty scale of 1 to 5, 5 being most difficult = 3

    I have a gentle ache (a bit like a hum, if that makes sense) in my upper arms, back and top abs. I guess that means it's working! I look forward to my next go tomorrow.

    I'm calculating girly pushups! I did 5 brag worthy pushups and 12 cute girly ones perfectly before starting to slack so I am going to use that number.

    congrats oshii on the inch. No inch loss here yet, but i swear i can already see more definition in my arm muscles.....

    I did week 2 day 1 level 3 on Sunday, but totally forgot to do day 2 yesterday. I am going to do them tonight, then go to Friday, and so on. Oops! I did 63 total on Sunday, MAN style! I cannot do girlie style anymore because I have been doing them in shorts on my carpet in the family room and it was wearing the skin off my knees. By the time I realized it, it was too late to do anything other than give them a break. So, I can only go down halfway doing them the hard way, but it is still giving me a good upper body workout!

    I am a few days late but I would like to join! I have tried a couple of times but never kept it up. This might give me the motivation to continue. I managed to push out 14 on my initial test!

    Well i decided to take the exhaustion test tonight as i didn't have time for my regular workout. !yes! i got to 16, the minimum to go on.... but i think the last 4 were on pure adrenline or just pure desire to make 16. my arms hurt!. my body seems to want to conk out at 12. i'm going to try week 3 level 1 anyway.

    @gem - i noticed i'm doing the pushups deeper all the time too (increasing the difficulty.) without intentionally trying. The pushups hurt more that way but i guess it's a good thing to be able to do so.
