11 crunchy frogs done. Missed a day.... @ Barbonica, I completely understand, it's getting tiring for me too but I will try to keep it up as long as I can! It was really fun doing this with you and thank you for sticking with it as long as you did! I really appreciate it and my push-ups have improved a lot! I will try to…

9 crunchy frogs done. Worked on some push-ups too...Thanks Barbonica for reminding me just 4 more days!!

Amazing job!! What was your exercise schedule like?

6 crunchy frogs done. Still no push-ups today!

4 crunchy frog done!! It's hard!! My core is very weak and this works the back as well as abs....hopefully I will see some improvement in my core with this exercise. @ Barbonica, no I didn't :happy: and it feels good. In my gym class nowadays, I can at least do 10 proper push-ups in a set and only switch to knee push-ups…

1 crunchy frog done for the 101 comment before me. Plus I also did 100 push-ups... 2x20 proper push-ups, exercise ball push-ups 30:15, wall push-ups 15. We have come so far, so had to do a 100!! I have to try more variety in the coming days... From tomorrow starts our weekly challenge of 350 push-ups.

95 done. 25:20:20:15:15. When I was mentioning burpee, I meant the one without the push-up :-) Burpee seems to be a good exercise for all round conditioning and really good for legs , chest, abs....http://www.12minuteathlete.com/burpees-are-awesome/ But perhaps with our own workouts, plus the push-up weekly challenge, it…

92 done. 21:20:20:15:15:1 Great work everyone....almost 100!! Yayyy!! After we have reached 100 push-ups, I was thinking of continuing with 100 push-ups...maybe alternate days and have a weekly goal of say 350 push-ups (I was thinking 300 and then I thought just add 50 more for that extra mile??)?? We can divide push-ups:…

Ok 87 done!! 16:21:20:10:20. I wanted to do the last set for 30 but at 10 I gave up! @ DevLe: Not at all!! So good to know you are also with us... @ Barbonica: Wow...4.75 miles. Are you training for a half marathon or something or you just like running? I am being tempted by running with so many runner friends I have. But…

Ok 82 done. 14:16:8:24:20.... Two sets I did in my gym class, rest later. Please take a recovery day as and when you need it. I might need one too..let's see. Yes 100, here we come!! Let's do as far as we can get and then, if you want, we could start with 1 again? So as to not lose our stamina? What do you think? Or we can…

Ok...79 done , 3x20, 1x19. I know...now it's getting really tough. I did all in one go but will be doing over the day tomorrow. My left arm hurts, so hopefully it feels better after stretching a bit. @ acogg, I don't go very low, but I go as low I can and each day, I try to go a little lower while going down in a push-up.…

Ok 76 done. 10:13:20:20:13. Did 2 sets of 20 push ups. I like ....i like!! Now I have to work on getting closer to floor!! @ Barbonica....Thanks for doing this with me!!

Ohhh !! After seeing the number of push-ups increasing comment by comment, I really want to do today's push-ups RIGHT NOW ...at work.... but I am sure my colleagues will think I am crazy if I suddenly get down on the floor and start doing push-ups. In the evening..but from tomorrow first thing in the morning is push-ups!!…

Yayyy!! @ Barbonica....good job with getting to your goal of 3 sets of 15. I just did 64, 4x10 and 2x12. Still doing regular push ups. Working on my form and getting lower. I think I have perfected the form...at least and strength is also increasing, or so I believe! See you tomorrow!

Post shows 62 comments on this topic. So just did two more!

Ok 60 done. 15:15:15:15, though I did spread them over the evening. You know a weird thing? I always find the 1st set the most difficult and then starting the sets are easier ...ending is always tough!

Even I had to take a two day break. I start again Monday.....

Ok. I just did 52. 8:12:16:16. Wow!! 95 bench! That's amazing. You definitely need a break. Next time try 100!! I haven't done any heavy lifting myself...though I have been considering it. I like gym classes more, in which we do body weight and resistance band workouts...and the heavy lifting area seems intimidating. I…

Woohoo!! That's a lot of push-ups!! Just did 48, 12:12:12:12. Spread into two sets over the evening. I just did normal push-ups. Once I get these right, I will go into the modifications. I found this website about proper push-ups... http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/02/15/proper-push-up/ which I found helpful, so just…

Just because I think we need more comments for the push-ups tomorrow...here I comment :-) again....

Ok...34 done : 7:10:17....The last few in the last set was getting way too tough!! But At least I did 17 in a stretch, when in the 1st set I gave up at 7. Now it will get tougher with higher number of push ups!

For at home workouts, maybe you can get a set of resistance bands and use them to do toning exercises? Body weight exercises are pretty good too.

I just did 30. 14:14:2. @ Barbonica,The last two was after reading your comment, so tried to go lower. Let's see how I progress. @ bunbu: We are doing what the total comments are at the topic, that particular day. So it kinds of build up everyday and hopefully our strength as well. But if you prefer, you can do the push…

Just did 25 push-ups: 12:12:1. Last time I did, I gave up the set at 7, so 12 in one go was tough but nice! @DevLe, Thanks for an additional comment :-) Now that I am doing boy push-ups, I also want to go nearer to the ground. As of now I don't go down that much . I assume it means more arm strength. Will it build up with…

Ok 22 push-ups done. I did 3 sets: 7:10:5. Currently I do not reach as near to the ground as I want to but I think I am getting better. At least I am not doing the pus ups on knees anymore...so progress.

Youtube has some workouts where you can workout on a chair. More like kickboxing...punches etc. You can add hand weights to the workout,1lb-2lb and it will be really good. Recumbent stationary bike is good. Belly dancing if you can stand. Cycling while lying on your back. And plus strength training for the upper body.

Thanks D :-) I see I am getting all the support!! Just did 3 push-ups for you!!

Ok I just did 19 push-ups!! That was more than I was expecting today... Perhaps a comment needs to be 3 words at least??? :-) :-) @ Barbonica: That sounds great! I can do couple of proper/boy push-ups but hoping to increase that number, Plus the form. @ jdad1, you are welcome to join!!

Do 4 today (including this comment)! We report when we are done for the day? That would give us at least one more to do the other day. I am hoping I will be able to increase the number of "proper" push-ups I do.
