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 "Yah, well, I bet you can't do a hundred and ONE."

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.

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.

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..

Count me in! 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!

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. 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!

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.

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.
