The Hundred-Pushup Challenge: Join In!
Monday, October 13, 2008 at 12:00AM I have been looking at The Hundred Push Up Challenge. I mentioned it originally in Blogs Worth A Click. This is the kind of physical challenge I enjoy. It has a specific goal, measurable results and a time limit. I will be doing the weenie push ups (they call them alternative push ups but I know they are weenie ones) …I am a woman of some substance…full push ups are not yet doable for me. The One Hundred Push Up web site provides a handy dandy six week schedule.
I have tried to get my husband to join me. He laughed. The kids believe it or not each claim they can do a hundred push ups. I’m not sure I believe it but one plays hockey, one is a brown belt in Marshal Arts and one does hour long Pilates taped for fun.
If you have done this challenge leave a link in a comment and I will post it. I will need all the encouraging posts to read I can get. If you want to join in and post about your experience, leave a link in a comment and I will post your exploits also! If you just want to give it a try, please leave a comment. I would love the exercise company!
Next Monday I will post of my accomplishments. Hope to hear from lots of you! See you then!

I love your blog! And I love your template! Where did you get it please? Reading your blog is such a pleasure because of the uncluttered layout and the elegant design and the pale pinks and whites and grays. Love it!
nice design! interesting topics. i am not sure if i can do the push up challenge though!
I hope it all goes well for you. I don't have the discipline to do exercise regularly.
I spotted that the other day and thought, mmm.... All right I'm in, but shh, don't tell anyone, it's a secret. :)
Way to challenge yourself! I couldn't have done 100 push ups even when I was fitter and trimmer, much less now! It's a great goal though. Good luck!
Ha! I have done more than 20 push ups since College. Oh no, I might break my arm ... jk lol
I am in. 100 push ups Oh My... I will use your link for guidance and do the easiest possible. Great idea... Get us up and moving :)
100 push ups? Boy that's too much!
While I also do anabolic and aerobic exercise from time to time, I have not embark into such challenge.
Most of the time, I just extend my time on the treadmill or increase my speed.
I always said to myself when I was superbuff and twenty something that I would never be a middle aged women who sagged...well, I'm 48...and saggy. 100 pushups seems like an awful lot, but what it would do for my arms, and other more saggy parts! I'll try
Carol, I would do the weenie ones to :)
I started this challenge a while back too but fell off the wagon. I need to get back to it!
