The Hundred Push Up Challenge: Week 4 Accent on Challenge

This is no longer easy. Last week I did 65 push ups, they were weenie push ups and I took every second of the recommended breaks between sets I could. However, I did them and though I was hot stuff.

This week, not so hot. Doing 72 push ups I though,” This is not easy.” 76 even with the rests I barely made it. 80 my mind wanted to know if there wasn’t anything better for my almost 50, not diminutive body to be doing.

The Hundred Push Up Challenge is now officially a challenge for me. I am going to do 100 push ups and my mind and body had better get with the program!

I maxed out at 22 this week for the exhaustion test.

Sylvia commented last week her family is doing the challenge together. That is a interesting and unique memory making idea. I wish my kids would have done this with me.

I ordered Hip Hop Abs from Amazon last week. Time to go for the six-pack.

Anyone use these DVD’s ?

Great job if you are already on week 4! I'm quite a bit younger than 50, and I'm not even close to completing that many push ups - but I'm working on it! Just at a slower pace than the 100 push up challenge pace.

Uggh! We've been out of town so we're five days behind schedule. I'm not looking forward to tonight after reading your post :-(
