Well I think I will give it a try as well saved it in my favorites but will not start until Monday and do the Monday, Wed, Fri. In doing the intial test I can only do 2 full good form push ups. So I will be starting out slowly but surely.

Good Luck everyone

What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing this site. I'm certainly going to add this into my routine. It's always fun to have a new goal to work toward. Thanks again! I've been kind of stuck at the same number of consecutive pushups for well, a long time. It would be great to be able to actually break through this once and for all. I mean really, after finishing a hundred who is going to look at you and say :rolleyes: "Yah, well, I bet you can't do a hundred and ONE." :lol:

It is so very random, like stacking, but in reverse. Interesting...
Imagine going up to some annoying guy at work and betting him you could do more push-ups then him, and YOU DO!!!!

I AM SO IN JAMIE! I can do 13 consecutive push-ups now, I will be starting this weekend!

ALL ON THE TOES BABY!

Day 1-
decided to start in the middle instead of high, whew! 31 total.

Ohhh, I want to try this, too!

I completed Level One Day one today...(my body slanted out against my kitchen counter, but I can still feel it in my back and chest believe me)....it ain't as easy as it looks...my max was only 10....but I figured i have to start somewhere!

anyone else start today? it only takes a few mins.

Fat Chick B Gone 06-20-2008 10:19 AM

Oh jeez I'll try it. You're quite the convincing plurker!

I started this morning. I didn't do a straight flat pushup, but did about a 45' angle one against the cedar chest in my bedroom.

Day one complete! :)

i'm glad I have company with my "kitchen counter" version....I go all the way down until my nose touches the counter...the further out you put your body the more challenging. I was putting my arms too far apart at one point, and was told that this will stress my shoulder.

100... push-ups? Like, real push-ups? :o

Oh whatevs, count me in! :D

I didn't believe I'd be able to run 5k either. So... onward and upward!

Ok, I did my initial test today, didn't go to well.. I had no strength in my arms to go down all the way,, But I did 4 of them going down "half"... So I think I will do week 1 until I can do the whole week with "real" ones..
I will start with Level 1 - Day 1 tomorrow..

Diva 06-21-2008 11:21 AM

Count me in! :D I'll do the initail test and also start on Monday. At this point I only do them on the resistance ball, but I want to be a mini Jillian, so I MUST get this down. I want to do 1 arm push-ups like she does eventually.

Hey, a girl can dream! ;)

mstigger 06-21-2008 11:38 AM

Ok, I have some upper body strength (I take karate 2-3 days a week and push ups are required), so I could do 20 full push ups. :o I will also start on Monday.

WTG everyone who has completed day 1! I did my day 1 last night. Boy do I suck at push-ups. I think I will do week 1 girl-style (on the knees) first, and then repeat week 1 on the toes. I'm not ready for on the toes push-ups!

Though it's surprisingly easy to do 2 push ups at a time, resting for a minute in between reps!

Fat Chick B Gone 06-21-2008 12:16 PM

I just did day one and I'm going to have to be in the girly group for a while myself. I keep hoping as I lose weight they'll get easier he he.

zinkemomx2 06-21-2008 03:54 PM

Fine! I'll try it. Going to do my initial test right now. I might have to do the first week on my foot board.

Initial test = only .5 of one on the floor. I did do 10 on my 22" high foot board. I will do week one on the foot board and then redo it on the floor.

W1D1 incline - 10-10-8-8-10 Man that hurt!
W1D2 incline - 11-11-8-8-12 Yeouch!
W1D3 incline - 5-4-4-3 on toes 15 on incline
W2D1 incline - 12-12-9-7-20
W2D2 incline - 16-13-11-11-20

I'm thinking I need to make up my mind about what I am doing. So wasn't following the plan correctly. I'm on track now though.
