    Do we report back? I did my 50, I tried on toes (broken up into sets of 10 and spread out). I managed 40 on toes (though some at the tail end of the later sets were a little shallow), and my final set was all on the knees with a good range of motion.

    I'll try to do as many as I can without causing a setback. I've got arm/neck issues and pushups can put me over the edge and cause quite a bit of pain for me for days. I'll see how many I can sneak in a bit at a time during the day.

    Ladies this is great so many of you up for the challenge!!

    I did mine this morning and pushed through even though my shoulders were burning from training yesterday!! I did sets of 10 on my toes with a short rest in between.

    Report back and let us know how you get on!

    Maybe think about doing this challenge every day for the week or maybe even the month and see how much progress you can make!

    To do really proper form, I think they're going to have to be on my knees. First set now, second set after shower, three more sets at the gym. And I think I'll match it with fifty extra sit-ups.

    I did mine like you would on a ball but used the bed. What I've learnt from this.... I have no upper body strength at all, fell down at 30 :(

    It's still 30 more than you would have done if you didn't have a go so good on you!!

    Come on ladies let's do it!!!

    I've got skinny arms and jiggly thighs (that's a lot of weight to push up), but I did it!

    25 "girl" push-ups (first 3 were regular then I realized if I didn't drop to my knees I would only make 10), followed by 13, followed by 12.
