Yeah, I need to do this.  I've got to get my core stronger, which is the main cause of my back problems.  I started yesterday, and I've got to do this in baby steps.  Man, I remember in my Marine Corps days when push ups, sit ups and pull ups were like drinking water.  Now, I feel like I'm 80 and can barely muster a few of either.

Semper Fi Marine!!

Day 1 in the books.

115 total.

Feeling much better. Still around 75% but can’t complain.

Great job!

Haven't seen much activity on this thread. In case you're interested here's a good article on push-ups being a measurement of fitness by doctors.

I'm going to try and revive this thread - especially for those of us focused on getting fit during the winter. Mia culpa - I haven't really worked out since about March when the hamstring acted up - then lots of other stuff happened and I kept inserting new excuses why I couldn't continue. The other day I read an article that the average American male maxes out at 10. For some reason that motivated me to start up again. 

So whose game in participating in the 100 push-up challenge?

I'm out. My bum shoulder won't let me do it.

100 Huh….

I might be able to get on the floor and do 1 but don’t think I could get up

Good Luck

I’ll jump on this. 100 in a row or just 100? Even in my workout days I think I maxed around 80 consecutive so I’m hoping it’s cumulative lol.

That what your 7i is for  - or maybe a 7i in one hand and a 6i in the other

I was just doing 100 per day.  But for you, 100 in a row…

I won’t make it either.  Don’t feel bad.  I have super long arms… I maxed out at like way less than 100 when I was in good shape.  Too much distance to cover.

...  That has to be some military workout days huh? I remember we had to do 25 in college at football practice and I barely made it but as our MLB liked to say "quarterbacks aren't football players."

I was quite lean back then. Working out was a job lol

When I did it I just did 25 4 times a day. After a couple of weeks my shoulder said that's enough from you #@&^head.

I figured I could at least count on you.

Alright not in the shape I was at one time. Started this challenge this week. Easing myself into it and adding some sis it ups/leg lifts. 
push ups back to back days of 80. Will get to 100 at some point!
