100 Push Ups

22 Jan 2009 - Eugene I've started on the "100 Push Ups program":http://hundredpushups.com/, along with my wife, brother-in-law, and a few friends. I hate gyms and weights and all that, and really prefer being outside and doing "real" exercise and so on. But, I figured this was a quick, easy thing to do, at home, and I'll improve upper body strength, which is not high on the list of the things I tend to do (cycling, running, hiking, skiing, etc.). Today was day two of the first week. I started off with an "initial test":http://hundredpushups.com/test.html result of a mere 20 "good form" push ups. Day 1 I did 48 as per their program, and today was 52. I was still a bit sore from the first day, so it added difficulty to today. Friday will likely be tough, but man, looking ahead to week 3, that's when things are going to get brutal. I'm extremely curious to see whether I can pull it off. Let's hope theirs good proven basis for their plan! And yes, I'm using the iPhone app.
