I am SO bad at these, and still have to do the 'knee ones', but I'm upping mine to 10/day...just hoping they will get better.

Oh I am so all over this....Thank you for your timely challenge. I have been waiting for the November challenges to begin (I know I can do them on my own, but do so much better with a challenge)

So, since I plan on joining more than one challenge, and I'm just starting..... Let's try 300 this month.

Just a note for anyone with back or knee problems (or who worry that they won't be able to participate because they feel they can't DO a pushup) - any type of pushup is better than NONE! Particularly for those with back or knee issues, you might start by doing pushups against a wall, a countertop, or standing at the bottom of a staircase and then pick out a stair to put your hands on and do them on that... maybe by the end of the month-long challenge you will be able to work down to a lower step!

Ok, newbie joining the challenge. I thought about waiting for 30 days before doing any challenges....but where is the fun in that.
Jumping in feet first.
I will do 300 this month. At least 10 per day.
Hoping to do more.

Always is right. There are all kinds of modifications. The stair ones are challenging-more so than the knee ones so if you want to progress towards regular push ups. Then just go down a stair as you get stronger, until you are at ground level. Also you can do a regular push up on the down and a knee one pushing upwards to make some progress. This month I am continuing with the perfect push ups but on one set will throw in a low stairs push up because I think it is a bit more challenging. My long term goal is a straight set of 20 guy push ups. Its, um, a very long term goal.

Hi everyone, I did try this one sometime last summer but gave up This time I will keep going! Aways has the right idea

Just a note for anyone with back or knee problems (or who worry that they won't be able to participate because they feel they can't DO a pushup) - any type of pushup is better than NONE!

So here goes, put me down for 300. I've already done my 40 min. of yoga which included plank position, so, pushups shouldn't be that hard right? Starts Sunday!

Ok, I'm a little gung-ho! I did 10 stair pushups just now using the 4th stair from the bottom. I had to pause and hold #7 at the top to catch my breath but then finished the last 2. Then when I sat down here to post it, I realized it's not Nov. yet!!! So now I know that I CAN do at least 10, lol.

I'll keep reading the posts then start for real on Sunday

Can a guy join this challenge? I am trying to turn over a very big (HUGE) leaf and exercise more often. I would like to join this pushup challenge if it's okay.

I want to set a challenging goal for myself of 3,000. Time to work the guns and chest.
