100 Pushup Challenge

If you are here, you probably answered my twitter or facebook call for the 100 pushup challenge. This should be easy because while most programs say you can reach your goal in 60 days or 6 weeks, we are giving ourselves 12 months. This was inspired from Danny Wood's challenge to get us towards healthy living. I told him I would complete 100 push-ups by cruise 2011 and asked others to join me.

I found a great site that will lead us through our challenge. We can log our accomplishments and allow it to post to twitter or facebook for us. Also, if you connect with your facebook account, it has a feature to see who of your other friends are in on the challenge.

This is how our challenge will go down:

Sign up to PushupLogger
- You can connect using your FaceBook account or once you sign up, go to Edit Profile to input your twitter account (or do both).

To take the challenge, you can either do your own plan or use the one suggested by the site.

Start with the Initial Test to gauge how many you can currently do. (Log this under Exhaustion Test in the Push Up Logger)
Than move on to Week 1 of the plan

Feel free to move at your own pace, don't be thrown by the week numbers, you can repeat week 1 for as long as you feel comfortable before moving on to the next week. All weeks can be repeated as many times as you feel necessary. The point is to just keep moving towards your goals. We can hold each other accountable and motivate and inspire each other. And once we finish the 100 push-ups the same site offers the 100 sit-ups and squats challenge that we can move towards.

Oh, and these are military style. Not the girly on your knees type of push-ups. :)

So come on! 100 push-ups/sit-ups/squats by May 2011!!!
