100 Push Up Challenge
Filed Under Uncategorized
I read about this on Get Fit Slowly and liked the idea as a way of introducing people to working out. You can find out more about the program here:
The Basics
Essentially, it’s a 6 week program that challenges you to do 100 pushups. It includes gradual training routines that increase in difficulty every week and are tailored to different fitness levels.
Does It Work?
Sure. It seems pretty straightforward. However, keep in mind that it’s not a complete workout. This site really focuses on just pushups, and while pushups are a great exercise, they leave out quite a few muscle groups. So this is a neat way to change up your workout for a few weeks, but it’s not really what I would recommend for a normal routine.

No, that guy in the picture has nothing to do with the 100 push up challenge. I just saw the pic on flickr and really liked it. Talk about getting your family involved with your workout….

cant wait to see you do this…me? I quit part way through.
my rotator cuffs rebelled!
Has ANYONE actually completed the 100 Pushup program? I see fitness blogger after blogger announcing they’re doing it and even releasing detailed information on their progress, but they ALL quit before the end, and *nobody* has done it in six weeks.
Either the program itself is too hard for most people or, as I suspect, it’s too much on top of the exercise routines they’re already doing.
Pick one thing and stick with it people. Wait until you get into good shape, *then* try something else (especially if it’s a real challenge, like this seems to be.)
