One Hundred Pushup Challenge

Gray Cee on Jun-30-2008

Shhhh, hear that? 

Those are sounds of laughter from my younger siblings. They know me well, so yes, they have the right to laugh.

Seriously now… I’ve always admired people who can do pushups without looking like they are dying afterwards and I’m one of the many who’ll look asphyxiated after performing one measly pushup. So. Not. Cool.

I found a gem this morning at Karin’s Surfer Sunday post.

The One Hundred Push up Challenge is a 6 week training program aimed to make you sustain and perform 100 pushups at the end. My first thought was, “no way!” but after reviewing the complete program, was shifted to being a little bit motivated “hmm, I can do this!”. I said only a LITTLE but I’m going to try this, just in time for the Summer of Me challenge.

What makes this challenge tick? Pushups gives the body a good total workout, strengthens your arms, chest, legs, insert anything you want here___. Most importantly, you can do pushups anytime and anywhere because it doesn’t require any gym membership and extra equipment.

The challenge takes you to train 3 days a week for six weeks. You’ll have to take an initial test to see your fitness level it’s doable, right in the comfort of my home.

So without much further ado, I’m starting the challenge today. Anyone wants to join the fun?
Oh, don’t smirk now, this is going to be fun, really! (If possitivity burns a lot of calories, I’d be so slim right now!!)

  4. Susan Said,

    I’m starting Week 3 today and I’m amazed at the progress I’ve made! I can now crank out 20 consecutive push-ups which while still far from the elusive 100, is certainly better than where I started (at 10).

    Good luck to you!!
