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

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 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!

Well I'm determined to make this my year-o-fitness. Swim lessons, check. Spin class, check. Gym membership, check. Flabby, weak arms, check. . .wait, that's bad. I'm so in.
The things you all make me get into. . .

After the 100, we should all learn to do those pushups where you clap at the top.

You should be able to do those once you can do 15-20 regular ones. They're not hard. But DEFINITELY don't try them if you have wrist, hand, elbow or shoulder problems. Originally Posted by SouthernBelle

Wrist & hand problems
I use small dumbbells so I can keep my wrists fairly straight during push ups. I figure that riding plus computers has given me a fairly significant case of carpal tunnel. Bending the wrist back (as in normal push ups) is tough on the nerves.
