A belated congrats on yet another marathon! Nice job.

And I look forward to following your quest to do 100 pushups. I accomplished this almost a year ago, and it was fun to be able to do that many in a row. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep it up and can’t even begin to come close to that number now. Perhaps I will try this challenge again…

Good luck!

Great idea! I’m not sure I could do one real pushup and can likely barely do any “girly” ones.

I’ve got to get back and try this again myself. I put some time on the treadmill today and felt my back was a little weak, I think using more body weight exercised like pushups and situps is something I have to start incorporating.

It’s not just a guy thing. there is nothing better for a woman than also acquiring upper body strength by doing some “real” push ups. I am on week 5 of 100 push ups and am enjoying my new found strength. I just wonder how one maintains it after 6 weeks. You don’t want to let all that hard work go.

I’ve been working on this for several weeks now using the website plan. I’m making progress, but its very, very slow…

well, now that I can actually do like 5 pushups, maybe I should try getting to 100. Looks like a book worth checking out.

He will be running the ADRA one with me… so yes, it will be flat… not so sure about fast!

This “lady” gets the same sense of achievement. But the real kicker is when you casually mention to any nearby blokes that you did 20 (or whatever) pushups that morning. Real ones, not girly ones. And sometimes you get a few sheepish looks as the really fast skinny guys wonder to themselves if they could actually manage that many.

I’m with Aaron – must get back into them.

Thanks for reminding me about this. The last time I had a go I got to 59 I think before the marathon got all too consuming. Must be a good thing to try again.

I found my dumbells in the garage gathering dust so am thinking on a new home work out program (which I will post about).

Good luck with ADRA. That’s a great course and I’m sure it’ll be very familiar for you There is a small hilly bit up St Heliers but most of it is flat and fast.
