One Hundred Pushups Challenge
I found the One Hundred Pushups Challenge from I’m A Drama Mama’s blog and thought it would be a great way to get some exercise in my life and help on the 30 Day Weight Loss Challenge I’m currently participating in.
Why pushups?
Push ups are one of the basic and most common exercises for the human body. Push ups are not only great for your chest, but do a tremendous job of defining your abs, triceps, shoulders and torso. Push ups can be performed no matter where you are, and best of all, they are completely free - no expensive equipment or annual gym fees required! If you’re looking to develop a great chest and shoulders, you could do much worse than follow along with the hundred push ups plan. Your core strength will also go through the roof too!
I took the inital test the challenage encourages you to do and I could only do 5 measly pushups. Only 5! I was really surprised, I thought I could do more than that. So starting Monday I will start the challenge and hopefully by the end I will be able to do 100 pushups. I will also post my progress with my weight-loss updates on Wednesdays.

Excellent! Thanks for joining the program and signing up for the challenge.
Judging by some of the emails I’ve received people in general are surprised by how “few” push ups they can do. It’s a basic exercise, but quite a challenging one all the same. Don’t worry though, I’m sure you’ll quickly improve….
Good luck!

I’m going to take the challenge too. I was surprised I could only do a few push ups, so it will be interesting to see the progress. I’ll look forward to reading your updates as well.

Oh, this is good. I haven’t tried the push ups yet, but know that I can’t do very many. I’m going to try to work these into my daily schedule.

100 push-ups! That’s a lot - especially if they’re “real” push-ups! Good for you for striving for that goal…
