I need to work on my strength... more specifically, my upper body strength. Not to mention, I would LOVE to keep up with my military hubby who is the push up master.

One problem: I can barely do 2... and even by doing it the girly way!

I was given the link to the hundred push up program by a fellow 3FC lady and thought I would start a thread for those of us who are up for it!

Here's the link: http://hundredpushups.com/

Take the initial test and see where you are at. I'm at the under five section, no question! hehe

Let me know if you are up for the challenge and start posting! good luck!!
I'm starting day 1 right now!

I'm in fauxtini.....I'm ready for some kind of challenge focusing on exercise! I need to get back in the exercise game! I will try to take the test this evening and let you know where i'm at!

Awesome, Melissa! Good luck!

I did day 1, under the first section.
I did 8 pushups in the final 'do as much as you can' level. I was happy! when I started this program and stopped a few weeks ago, I could only manage 5 and that was pushing it!

I'll take the test tonight after work, though I have a hunch I'm within the "5 & under" category

right on! hehe I'm with you, girl!

I'm in. However, I will be starting with the wall push-ups due to a past shoulder injury. I started those while in physical rehab for the shoulder, and even those were hard for me.

I'm in! Though, I don't believe I've ever completed 1 regular form push up in my life...I'm willing to learn!

dixied: it's all good-stick with that's good for you! Glad to see you here

Rfrank: That's what its all about.. just do what you can and build from there. The site helps a lot. you can watch videos and stuff on how to do the proper form. I'm doing pushups on my knees and I still can't go down as far as I should.. but I plan/hope to get stronger and better everytime!

I'm in!

In fact... brb off to do the initial test (feeling of dread lol)

....edit...

RIGHT I'm back!

4 n a bit proper ones (except I don't think I went down far enough)
or 15 knee pushups... so I'm going to kick off doing knee pushups... when I've built up more strength I'll re-do it doing 'proper' pushups

Will start tomorrow!

I'm in!!! I will take the test in a bit!

I got back... so... not only can't I even do ONE push up, I can't even do one modified bendy-kneed push up!

So! I've modified the modified and am doing Against-the-wall-uber-beginner push ups. I'll start there for some weeks until I maybe do one actual modified push up.

Ok I am with denial.. I did 15 knee push ups, I tried regular (with good form and managed one..maybe...) So my goal is to do the 100 with the knee kind then move into regular pushup after the first time through.

Now I gotta go figure out how to do the program...want to get it started off today since M,W,F works best.

Ok, I am in too. I am positive I am a rank 1. I will most likely start with the wall push-ups too. There is no way I am getting on the floor, nobody is here to help me up except my 10 year old. That would just be BAD!
......
Ok, I just did 10 good wall push-ups, I stopped before I went face first into the wall. So I guess I will start with week 1, day 1 tonight but I'm gonna do the middle column of 6-10. I will do it Monday, Wed, Friday along with Curves. What I like about this challenge is there is NO excuse to not do it. You can do it in your nightgown with a mud-mask on and curlers in your hair, and if you do I would like pictures hehe.

Fauxtini thanks for the challenge. Being a Blueser is already paying off.

Edzard: I want to do that too. i'm doig knees now in the first section. When I finish that I want to work my way up in sections and eventually move to regular pushups!

Christina: no problem! I love being challenged and im so glad I have som people do to this with!!

Okay so I managed 15 good form girly push ups! WOW!

I was proud of myself! So that puts me at level 3. Are you aloud to do girly push ups for the test or do you have to do regular ones?

Welpers...I'm gonna start week 1 on Monday!!!!

I hope we start a challenge SOON on TBL....here I've waited all this time to be in that challenge and nothing is going on???!!!!
