only just seen this. I'm in.
I already do 3 sets of 25 four times a week, so I might be able to join in two or three weeks in.
after this move on to burpees.
I'm sure you can already do 100 with your training. I could have managed it about 15 years ago when I was training daily. Me and Rooky are running a half-marathon in October, and I've done no running at all this year. Went out for a run this morning and boy was it hard work. It was like starting out all over again. Poker is not conducive to being able to run. |

Blatant 'I'm not a total lazy weakling like everyone else on Blonde' brag post IMO. |

Poker is not conducive to being able to run. certainly in a session, but not consecutive. I had a friend who joined the navy when we were 17. they used to make them do 100 - 200 as punishments. I did 100 straight once back then, but that's 18 years ago. I'll do the experiment tonight, see where I'm starting from. 30 - 40 probably. think I might see if I can get some of my students to do it too. |

It's a nice and easy programme - so it shouldn't put anyone off.
It's easier if you can already do 30-40 consecutive push-ups, but the missus is having a go at this as well, and she did 10 before starting this.

If you're a total weedy wimp like, er, me, you may find it easier to do a programme doing half-press-ups (from your knees rather than your feet) as even if the full ones kill you, anyone should be able to do 20 half press-ups. Once you've completed the programme on your knees, start again doing it properly and you'll be more likely to not collapse after four. |

Started tonight, shocked at only managing 22 then realised i've put about four stone on the last couple of years, will be so chuffed if I can manage 100 in six weeks.

35 at an even pace. could of paused for a couple of seconds and got another 10 but that's cheating I'm guessing.
The goal has to be 100 without a pause so the tests have to be done like that.
going to do the whole 6 weeks because the students ranged from 10 - 25 and we're going to stick together.
first to 100 video it and put it up.

Did my initial test tonight.
Six.
Oh yes, six.
I suspect I'll still be doing this thing at Christmas.

look at it this way, you'll have acheived more than me when you get there. bigger improvement, more impressive.

Good point, though you have greater faith in my perseverance than I have. |
