The Push-Up Challenge: Initial Test & Week One
DH has decided to do this with me. I know I was asking for trouble when I inquired if he was interested, but at least we aren't competing against each other, right?
Initial Test: Do as many good-form push-ups as possible without stopping.
DH - 80
Me - 5 (See, I told you it wasn't a competition!)
So, DH stars on Week 3 and I start on Week 1.
My Week One:
Day One: 2, 3, 2, 2, max (at least 3) with 60 second rest)
Day Two: 3,4, 2, 3, max (at least 4) with 90 second rest
Day Three: 4, 5, 4, 4, max (at least 5), with 120 second rest
His Week One:
Day One: 14, 18, 14, 14, max (at least 20), with 60 second rest
Initial Test: Do as many good-form push-ups as possible without stopping.
DH - 80
Me - 5 (See, I told you it wasn't a competition!)

New challenge: 100 Push ups
The goal is to do 100 good form push ups by the end of 8 weeks. Considering I can barely hit 5, this will be an awesome project. I'll take my initial test on June 30th and then start the training on July 4th. This is really coming at a good time for me, since I've just been told I can't run for the next 7 to 10 days, at least. My hip bursitis is back and that means physical therapy and really easing back into the running game. I really hope to be good to start back in 2 to 4 weeks, since I have another race the end of September. So, along with this challenge, I'll be doing Yoga and more strength training, until I get the ok to go back to running.
Who's with me?
