I did my NROLW workout last night, which included 3 sets of pushups. So I skipped day 3 of the challenge. It's going to be interesting coordinating the challenge with the NROLW schedule.
I can do 2 regular pushups. five minutes later, I can do 4 girlie pushups. So, I'm starting at the lowest level doing girlies until I can do regulars, then I'll re-think. Holy cows, that's hard. I definitely need this, thank-you, Fauxtini.
Photochick, what is NROLW?
Never run on lowly worms?
New runners only love watermelon?
Nightly row over lakes wetly?
Nasty riddles or lovely words?
OMG! I'm dyin'! I couldn't do ANY girlie pushups at all. My upper body and core are so weak. I'm going to do counter pushups for a few weeks until I can do girlies. I did 3 sets of 8 counter ones.
I did 3 sets of ten girly ones today! im amazed! Mind you.. i should probabaly be going lower to the ground.. but each day is a bit better. I can't wait to officially start the challenge on monday
This sounds like a good challenge, I'm in. I think I'll give it a start on Monday.
I was surprised by all the low numbers here and honestly thought I'd be able to knock you guys out of the park. Yeah right! I got 0 real push-ups and 5 with bent-knee. I even re-did the bent-knee: still 5. I guess all those times I've done push-ups in the past, I've taken breaks every few, or in the case of regular form, haven't been going down far enough. Anyways, my upper body strength has always been a weakness so I'm excited to improve.

Sorry I haven't checked in recently, meant to start last wed but work is killing me with stress and I basically dropped everything! I got bod pod tested (body fat) and found out I am 34.6 % body fat. So now that I have paid for 2 tests and had one of them done I am really!!!! wanting to improve my physique before I do the next one. It has to be done within a year or I lose it so here we go toward a stronger me!
