Today's challenge is: Push-ups

Let's see if we can do 150 of them.

You can do them any style and you have until midnight to get them done.
You can do them all at once or break them into smaller groups.
If you can't do them all then do what you can. The important thing is that you try to do them.
Make sure you stretch and have fun doing them.
Report back when you are done and let us know how you did.
You can log these challenges as "Calisthenics" I hear.

Mini, mini challenge: See how many you can do with one arm (can be one or a bunch, just see what you can do).

    I did some bench presses in the park and my upper arms are now killing me! I also did 3 x 30 reps of bench squats and I am finding it very difficult to walk down the stairs now. It's all good stuff though, that's what I keep telling myself.

    I'm am so in, even though my arms feel a bit like jelly. To para-quote Scarlett O'Hara, "With God as my witness, I will finish" even if the last few are done from my knees. Keep up the good job of motivating us.

    I'm *wearing* a push-up... does that count? :wink:

    I know I can do up to 15 at at time from the toes. I'll try to knock them all out.
