    I completed week 1 day 3 on Saturday.

    I was hoping to do this challenge on my toes, the reality is that with poor core muscles I’m better off doing this on my knees. So my revised goal is to complete this whole challenge on my knees and then I will start again on my toes 😊

    I'm doing the same thing (starting week 3 today), and once we get stronger, we'll go on the toes :wink:

    Totally. I think it's better to do them with good form from the knees than squeezing them out with bad form from the toes. I think if you stick with it, you'll be doing them from the toes in no time! You guys are rock stars!

    Week 1 - Day 1 :) Sets were 2, 3, 2, 2, 4(!!!)

    Did pushups on my knees, so right now my goal is to work up to doing pushups with my feet on the ground. I feel a little silly and weak but mostly motivated and happy to have started this challenge!!!

    Week 1: Day 1- 6,6,4,4,10 modified on knees due to a bruised toe.

    Everyone keep up the good work. I like to read about everyone working hard toward their goals!

    Week 1 complete! After attempting full pushups from toes and failing on day 2 ive started again on my knees with plans to restart again once i feel strong enough. Those last few were still bloody tough though!

    Great job sticking with it! Just keep at it, and you'll be doing them from your toes in no time!

    Week 1 day 1 - 2 3 2 2 3 - this was very hard. I’m considering repeating this day before trying day 2, but I’ll see how it goes

    Week 1 day 2 - 3, 4, 2, 3, 3-1/2...

    Today went better than expected but I could quite finish all 4 pushups in the last set. Considering how I felt about day 1, I’m surprised at what I could do

    Week 1 day 3
    4, 5, 4, 4, 6

    This is still really hard. I feel like the arm muscles are there but my core muscles give up. But I can tell that I am getting stronger
