Drop and give me, er, a few

UR's doing it. Maya's doing it with a spreadsheet. IT is the one hundred push ups challenge.

To improve your strength, fitness and general health all you need to do is commit about 30 minutes of your time per week, and follow the push ups training program as closely as you can. I promise you will feel much better about yourself and much more confident after just a few short workouts.

Strictly out of curiosity, mind you, I myself got down on the floor and assumed the position. With my right shoulder still so troublesome, I'd assumed I couldn't even do two push ups, but on the initial test, I made it to eleven. And I coulda done more, if I weren't, you know, such a pansy. So I'm going to take the challenge. My goal is 100 "lady" push ups (knees as fulcrum).

Then again: 30 minutes of exercise per week? I don't know; that's going to cut into my Twitter time.

We prefer the term "testosterone-challenged pushups" or "estrogen-centered pushups"; but "girly-man pushups" will do if no other nomenclature is available...

I'm in! I'm so in! Except that I can't do lady pushups anymore, thanks to a tumble down a flight of stairs I took last year, a tumble that effectively kissed goodbye my knees-as-fulcrum days. Just by default, I have to do them on my toes, which means it'll take me about 126 weeks to get to 100 pushups. 'Sallright, though. I embrace the pain! Embrace it, I tell you!

Nope. Not biting on this one. I do pushups as part of my regular workout routine. Kicking those out is hard enough. I love reading about the folks doing it, but I ain't gonna be one.

I'll be interested if following your progress, though.
