Join in on the fun of the first week of Fitness Friday inspired by Jill at Life...As I See It.
I have heard so much about the 100 push ups challenge so I finally decided to take the challenge on. The best part is that you can download an app to your phone so you know exactly what you need to do each day. They offer an android app and an iphone app so most all phones are covered, which I love!
Before beginning the challenge you must take an initial test which will highlight your current fitness level and determine where to start and how to plan your push ups training program. Once you complete the initial test you are ready to begin the challenge on your next day. I just started the other day so I will be sure to update you as I progress. My initial challenge I completed 12 push ups with good form. I know I could have done more but I would rather start off slower.
I am heading to the Jersey Shore today (T-shirt time!!!) for a wedding so wish me luck on the drive down. It took Joe 8 hours yesterday so I am praying traffic isn't too bad today.
Question: What are your feelings on push ups?
Logging you in...
Found you from Jill's blog hop! I must say, I hate push ups almost as much as pull ups...good luck with your challenge.
ReplyDeleteAnother visitor from the blog hop! One of my new years resolutions was to work on my pushups. January 1, I couldn't even do them on my knees an now, thanks to 100 Pushups, I can do 20 or so (very slowly LOL). I'm happy with that, but maybe before the end of theyear, I'll dothe program again and see if I can't do them on my toes...that'd be a real coup. Good luck!

I would love to know how the challenge goes. I've been tempted. My husband was doing the same challenge. Come to think of it he hasn't mentioned it lately. I'll have to ask.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
I have the 100 pushups app on my phone... but I haven't done it yet. I do need to work on my big girl pushups though! Looking forward to your updates!

Push ups is a great exercise, uses many of our body muscles.
ReplyDeleteI love push ups! Well, not love them, but I do love what they do for my upper body! And I like the idea of doing them just before bed!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. Found you from the blog hop. Good luck on the push up challenge!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower from the blog hop! Good luck with the challenge!!! I love push ups but sometimes I have a love hate relationship with them!!!
ReplyDeleteI lasted 3 weeks on that challenge. MAN, I hate push ups. I think I got to 40-something regular push ups and thought...I could use a piece of cake right now. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm hopping over for the blog hop!
ReplyDeleteI am not good at doing push ups on my own... much better in a group/class setting. The app sounds like a great idea, but I'm afraid it would end up like my calorie counter one... unused!
Good luck to you though!
Good luck with it. I will have to try it out! I love pushups and I've been trying to work up to more too :)
