Week One: So far, so good. [100 Push-Up Challenge]

My first week on the 100 Push-Up Challenge passed without incident. I really want to do girlie push ups for the entire 7 weeks. LOL! Maria Bee says no, I can work my way up to standard push-ups. I think that I am going to start feeling the pain next week.

At this point, doing 100 push-ups seems both possible and impossible. Keep hope alive.

Keepin' it honest. [100 Push-Up Challenge] Take 2

Okay. I had some minor setbacks (unrelated to the program) that threw me off track for my push up training program during the spring. I am now back on it, dog gone it.

To keep myself on track, I am going to report my progress every Monday on this blog. Public eyes will keep me honest. Maybe. Check back with me on Mondays starting July 11.

"There is no such thing as girlie push ups."

Maria Bee says, "There is no such thing as girlie push ups." I certainly hope so. The 100 Push-Up Challenge is gonna make a believer out of me. By the end of the seven weeks, I hope that I can crank out some push ups like Maria.

Look at her go!

Kick Starting the Plan [100 Push-Up Challenge]

I took the initial test and went through the warm up and stretching execrises.

I printed out the Hundred Push Ups PocketMod which is a printable complete plan that folds down into pocket size. Sweet!

On your mark.

Get ready.

Go!

“I think I can. I think I can.” [100 Push-Up Challenge]

Before reading 7 Weeks to 100 Push-Ups: Strengthen and Sculpt Your Arms, Abs, Chest, Back and Glutes by Training to do 100 Consecutive Push-Ups by Steve Speirs, I did not think that I would be able to do 100 push ups. Or anything relatively close 100.  The book is pretty straight forward and the training plan is clear and does not seem excessive. Just commit to three days a week. No special equipment or gym membership required. Sounds easy enough. However, I can see me backsliding already …

Are you trying the challenge?

100 Push-Up Challenge - It's on!

Starting today with the initial test. No fooling.

Wish me luck.

Okay. I am not going to join a real fight club. Or make lye soap. So what am I going to do in the spirit of the book? I am glad that you asked.

1. As you already know, I have joined a number of reading challenges. I came across the book 7 Weeks to 100 Push-Ups: Strengthen and Sculpt Your Arms, Abs, Chest, Back and Glutes by Training to do 100 Consecutive Push-Ups and decided to read it towards the 100 + Reading Book Challenge. It seems pretty straightforward so I signed up take the 100 Push Up Challenge. You need to have strong arms to be in a fight club, right? I will be starting my routine March 21, 2011. Please join me.

2. I am going to make some melt and pour soap.
