    congrats that is a great nsv to gauge your success thus far. I still can't do boy-style but with the help of my fit camps, aqua zumba and then my routines on opposite days I find I can do more proper pushups with nose hitting the floor.

    Great Work

    Doing pushups is the BEST feeling in the world, since they suck so much! I just hit the 10 mark myself. GO US!! :flowerforyou:

    That is awesome! I just recently have been able to do them. I thought I'd be stuck doing girl push ups forever. What a great feeling to accomplish a goal.
