Default Re: You CAN do 100 push-ups!

Thanks for posting this, i'm definitely going to have to try this!

I was one that said I'd never be able to run 5k when I first started the c25k plan 3 years ago, I was able to do it in 6 weeks (i couldn't run 1 min straight when i started lol). I can now run 4.5 miles and run regularly.

Started week 2 of this today. I can certainly do more than I started out at. Hoping to complete this program and do the 100!!! I'm definitely gonna get the t-shirt.

Oh, and by the way, I also purchased a pair of "Pushup Pro" Rotating push up grips... wow! Talk about a workout! Way harder than just normal pushups. You're not just pushing up, but also rotating your wrists as you go up and down, hitting even more muscles. I couldn't do as many reps with them, but they do give a good workout.

Original goal: Lose 30 lbs by Mar. 1st, 2006. I made it!!!

Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

Finished week 2 on this program, and then did the assessment before moving to the 3rd week. Glad to say that I've more than doubled my initial test and did 23 pushups without interruption. This might not seem like a lot, but it's so much better than I started. And... in the program, I'm doing 80+ pushups now on the days that I do them. Considering that I wasn't into upper body workouts before, this is amazing... I'd recommend it for anyone!!

Awesome job, Rick. This is my next "goal" after I get through the C25K (I wrap up week 3 of 9 tomorrow).
