Push Up Challenge

Hey, you! Yes, you...
the one writing all day with her butt glued to that chair!

I've set a goal of being able to do 100 consecutive push ups in six weeks. I ran across this program that is supposed to make it easy for anyone--even if they cannot do more than a few push ups now--to do 100 consecutive push ups in six weeks' time.

Would you like to join me? It takes just minutes a day, and you can have arms of envy. Swim suit and tank season is here! Have beautiful arms by the time you head to the LA Conference! You could even show me your push up progress in the lobby off the Hyatt!

If you can't do one push up with proper form, you can start with push ups on your knees! I want everyone on board with this.... because it's good for us!


So...who is in??

So far, I've recruited Write_HB, bookhouseboy, and Zabablue from Twitter.

Also, [info]carriejones 

Take the initial push up test and post your starting number in the comments below. We'll start on June 8th and post our final results on July 18/19. What do you have to lose? You can only get stronger!

Tell your friends!

Carrie made a community for us so we can keep up with progress over there: http://community.livejournal.com/100pupchallenge/profile

I am in. Let me go do the darn test. No laughing if it's like 5 or something. And I am going to go with regular old-fashioned style, not knee bent or knuckle or wall.

Okay. I did 20. I feel like I've already failed. Man...

Carrie--that's awesome! I have women I work out with every day who couldn't do 20 on their toes! (I'm at 35 and only got to 30 last week, so you're right there with me!)

And I created an LJ community. I don't know if you want to use it or not.

It is easily deleted so no worries.

AWESOME job! I started last week because I decided that my arms do not reflect all the working out I do. As of yesterday, I was at 35.

This is so funny. I started doing sit ups and push ups this weekend because, well, the kids are out of school in a few days and I want to be able to enjoy the beach with them, not worry about my body!

Well, sadly, I can only do 20, knees bent, before I need a rest. So I'll try this. I can't imagine being able to do a hundred, even with rests!
