    Slacker!

    If I'm going to be the one humiliated Week 5 watching yellow crack out her 60 full studette push-ups while I'm struggling through the "at least 30" bench-style, ANYONE can do this.

    I think I'll just quietly sneak out of the room when she moves onto her handstands . . .

    I've printed out the program, did the initial test, and have it pinned to the wall in the bedroom. Monday sounds like a good time to start.

    I'm starting at level 1.

    Just think how strong we'll all be!

    Just put the donut on the floor in a strategic location for inspiration.

    Or do 'em one-handed

    I'm ashamed to admit it - but I can't do one push up. Of any form. I need to gain strength - and would love to do this. But it's kinda hard to figure out where to start

    Wall push ups. Seriously.

    Dangit! That's another thing I want to do! I can do a respectable number of two-handed pushups (nowhere near 100 though!). But one-handed, I can only do on the wall, and standing embarrassingly close to it too. I guess I need to start seriously working on one of these...

    I do 1-2 sets of 15 "knee" (or "girl") push ups 1-2 times a week at the gym. I remember reading that most 35-year old women couldn't do 15 knee pushups, so I felt compelled to try and beat that (I'm 47). I'm scared to even attempt the full push up, but I will! I suspect I'll be starting at Level 1 with a bunch of you.

    My DH will absolutely *die* if I make it to 100 push ups!

    ...then again, I might too!
