It’s just over a Week into the push ups and things are going well.
Some of you have even joined me in my sore arms and crazy plans.
Cara has set up a cool spreadsheet the likes of which I never knew existed for us to chart our progress together.
Jenny’s been doing her sets while making breakfast.
Uncle Weasel says he can do 8.
And so far I’m still ahead of John.
So come, join us, do push ups!
In just a few minutes you too can have trouble lifting your arms the next day!
If you have joined us in secret please consider joining our spreadsheet. It’s a place to see how you are progressing, see how others are doing, and see the “grand total” of push ups done by everyone. So far those of us on it have done 703 push ups and I think that’s pretty darn cool.
Here is the link:
Happy Push Ups!

I wouldn’t want to make everyone feel bad 😉
Thanks for the motivation! I love this. I was sore but it was a good soreness after the first day. I even felt it in my tummy muscles without doing any sit-ups. When I went skiing I could really feel my arms, they were very sore.
Day 2 was hard. I took longer breaks and stuggled with some, maybe that was because Henry was trying to jump on my back. So I would start over and then with all the distractions I ended up doing two extra sets.
Jenny your struggles with Henry made me laugh. I’ve taken to doing them when the girls are napping or asleep and the dogs are locked in another room. Otherwise it’s just a pile on Mom time and push ups are hard enough without extra weight added!!!
Hooked!
I’m in..and so is most of my team..but we can’t start yet. I need arms for the Birkie and Worlds! So inspire me I’ll be joining March 13!
Can I start with wall push ups till my abs are repaired some?
Of course! I believe Cara is doing modified push ups as well.
We aren’t push up snobs, it’s the effort that counts!
Sarah, they all count. I am doing “girl” pushups as Molly calls them. Since i could only manage one good traditional, I am doing all of them from the knees and focusing on good form and still felt the burn from my abs up. I am also a day or two behind and actually looking forward to doing them tomorrow.
