I’ve just started the 100 push ups program (again), so I’ve only done day 1 of week 1 yet. Last time I quit the program quite soon because it was too hard, but this time I started from the easiest level, so I think it’ll go well if I can just stay motivated. And right now I am!

How I did it: my priorities are not here. I want my body more balanced than focusing on biceps & triceps will get me. I like the goal orientation, & will go back to my yoga mat & remember to breathe. Read how I did it…

Do yourself a favor 1976, and keep to the program on the break time. Sometimes I cheat during the work out, but I keep on that day until I can do it without cheating.
I`m on week 6 day 3 column 2. I completed it with 1 minute breaks, and 3 minutes before the final set a few days ago. Today I did it with the program 45 second breaks and a minute 45 seconds before the final. Upon the 46 push up, I collapsed in exhaustion (the minimum is 55), regardless I felt much better for trying to do a good job and failing than trying to half ass it and succeeding. For my next attempt I will be lowering my final break to 1 minute and 30 seconds
The program goes into high gear on week 5. The principle is to lower break times, and eventually eliminate them. THE IDEA IS NOT TO GET THERE BY TAKING LONG BREAKS AND ADVANCING PREMATURELY

Rough week for working out last week…. Wanted to grab a baseline number here to see what I could do…
25! Not bad considering when I started this I may have only been able to to 10? I don’t remember exactly… I think 25 is VERY respectable.
This week is even busier than last week so I REALLY need to PLAN, be ORGANIZED and PREPARE so I can accomplish all of my goals. So 25…. looks like I’ll be starting week 4 here ... middle column
I haven’t been doing push ups (or sit-ups) in a long time, but I’ll start the program next month when I have more time. Not that it takes much time, but still.

Results: 29 consecutive push ups.
Looks like I’ll be reiterating week 4, but this time advancing to column 3. x]
