One Hundred Pushups Twitter Challenge

sounds good. Looking forward to see progress...from my chair. Hehe.

I was already starting a training program. So I'll take you up on this path to 100 push ups :D \m/

Nice. I started doing something similar with squats since the beginning of the year, adding one each day (I also took the idea from the intarweb) and later adding pushups and situps too. Unfortunately, I gave up after being sick for a while.

Now I think I will try with these one. It shouldn't be very hard to complete the training. Thanks and good luck!

Oh, sorry for the double-posting (I didn't send it twice :/).

I forgot to mention that I have also been so stressed lately that I started to suffer eye twitching in my left eye. I had some vacations and I went down to my upper lip, then almost disappeared. Now it's coming back to my eye. So annoying!

I hope this helps me out.

I accept your challenge!

22nd of September is my goal date

Look at opening Olympic Games and remember own fit? :)

Sport is a great thing, I like it at any form.

May be I start pushups by this program. Interesting to watch results :)

Hi Rob,

I've been considering this ever since I saw you or Hanselman or someone tweet about it. Guess it is time to get doing it. Thanks for the motivation. :-)

Thanks for the link. I already did my initial test and will start tomorrow...

I am there with you. Yep starting this evening with my initial test of (btw i am > 40). Stopped at 20 before my arms fell out of their joints.

Good motivation and let us know how you do.

Pretty ironic - I decided this weekend to take up the same challenge and will be starting tonight. First one to 100 (video proof) wins a SubSonic t-shirt and case of WekeRoad beer??? :-)

Come on Rob.. you shouldn't be putting blogs like this up..

you're making me feel guilty that i'm not getting to the gym often enough :(

the whole office where i work go to the gym twice a week with a personal trainer.. so we don't get fat and have bad postures.. pretty cool perk..

btw.. if your trying to lose your gut.. doing push ups isn't enough.. go for a run for 10 kms..

running is good for stress.. and memory.. so i've heard..

btw.. you shouldn't work out while your stressed.. it's bad for your body..

I actually don't have a gut believe it or not - I'm fairly fit since I'm able to get out on the water some. I just feel weak that I can't do pushups :) like I used.

As for running - I'm OK with it but I'd rather swim or paddle; my back/legs don't like it much. But I agree - it's really good for you.

What I really like doing is Yoga. My wife has some great DVDs (me too - hers are better tho) and I try to do them but they take some time.

I think stress is worse for me then working out :p

I'll take you up on that challenge as well, see you in 6 weeks :p

Gives me something to twitter about ;)

It seems there are alot of people taking on the 100 Pushup Challenge. I actually just started last week, so I'm in the midst of week 2. The more people I see doing this, the more motivation.

Hey Rob..

While your stressed out don't pump the iron.. the run / swim would be better for your body..

when you're stressed your body releases a hormone.. can't remember exactly which one.. but if you go to the gym and pump iron you will damage your muscles rather than build them..

well that's what the muscle mag i read says..

considered meditation?

@Chris

I think that you just choose easier way, and read only what you whant to read :)

When you pump iron in gym your body releases testosterone, realy man hormone. It makes MAN from you and from me )) I don't think that it's bad.

And everything depends from your attitudes to gym. Many people don't like it and write many "bad" articles about.

@Anatoliy - you hit it right on the head! Chris I know what you mean - over exertion in bursts :). I'm not that stressed out really, just needed some exercise.

I don't meditate really, but I do like Yoga a lot. And when I can I get out on the water so that's kind of like meditation...

@Anatoliy

i love going to the gym.. when i'm not so busy with work i normally go 4-5 times a week.. it's coming up to summer in Sydney so need to shape up..

the one thing i find funny about the muscle mags is that from month to month.. they contradict themselves..

i'm sure in a few months time they will be saying work out while you're stressed it helps muscle growth.. lol..

P.S. i have to admit after reading the blog about it.. i went home and gave it a go.. i got 40 straight off the bat..

Good to see other people doing the challenge.

Here’s my progress. I’ve been stuck on week 5 due to time constraints, an almost non existent sleep schedule, and just plain being tired from biking and running.
