    @Sarahr73 - 25 of any sort of push ups in a row is amazing! At the moment I've been doing sets of 10, any more than that and my form starts getting sloppy.
    @JulieAL1969 - Well done for getting the 30 done. Sometimes it helps warming up your wrists first and experimenting with hand positions, it's taken me a while to find something that works.

    Day 5 complete, I managed 10 full push-ups today, in sets of 5 and the other 90 on my knees. Progress is happening.

    Thanks for the encouragement and advice! Xo

    Day 6 done. I managed 20 full push-ups today. I managed to do 15 in a row on my knees, so I feel my stamina is improving steadily.

    How is everyone doing today?
    @peppermintcaroline I hope today was better than yesterday. I have to shut my dogs out of the room when I'm doing push-ups, otherwise I'd have two Labradors licking my face!

    Did 40 pushups on knees today (but not all in a row; had to take a break between). But still after a few days, I can feel that I'm a tiny bit stronger.

    Day 8! Sorry I fell off the grid for a few days, lots of family stuff this weekend. I managed to get all my exercises done Friday, and most on Saturday and Sunday. I didn’t have enough time to space them out enough to get everything done Saturday and Sunday. But I’m ready to hit the ground running again today. Let’s start this week off with remembering to breath when you’re working out. If you hold it in, you could actually lose form and hurt yourself. And if you’re not getting all 100 in each day but you’re seeing improvement day over day, you’re still accomplishing A LOT! Keep pushing yourself to do more (unless your body tells you no) and you’ll get to the 100 before you know it.

    Hi- I’m a week late but I really needed this challenge!
    Got them done today- interspersed during my run. Fun way to break up a run.
    The sit-ups were the toughest for me- my core is my weakness.

    Welcome mcw2018mfp! Your core will catch up quicker than you think. Look into some Pilates core exercises. You can substitute any crunch or sit-up that you want. I do a mix to work different muscles.

    Thanks for the welcome Sarah!
    Day 2 done.
    15 to 20 push ups and sit ups between sprint intervals. Saved squats for the end 30-50-20
    I am already thinking about how I will get them done tomorrow :):)

    Managed day 9 on 22nd. But I was ill yesterday, so only got in 50 squats and replaced the sit-ups with 2 minute plank.

    Day 5 done.
    Rested my legs today- 10K race tomorrow so I did squat jumps to get my HR up a little.

    Day 6 done.
    Sit ups felt easier, push ups were tougher :/

    Day 7 - Had to do this first thing as we are away all day. I would have paid someone else to do it for me if I could have ;) But I did it.
    Did V sits for my sit ups - they were definitely more of a challenge

    I'm going to start fresh - I will do 20 pushups on my knees and build up.
    I can't do lots of squats or my thighs bulk up too much.
    I will try 20 crunches. I'm modifying your challenge for my body. But I will try to keep up and improve.

    Day 15 done. Did V sits to change things up and jump squats since I didn't have time to run. My abs are definitely getting stronger B)
