    July Push-Up Challenge: See yourself get stronger in one month!

    I started doing pushups for the first time with the June challenge. In three weeks I have seen a visible difference in my shoulders, arms and chest. My trainer tells me pushups are almost a perfect exercise because they hit so many parts of your body. Its a full upper body and core workout and only takes a few minutes a day.

    In the interest of keeping myself honest, I am taking on the pushup challenge for July so c'mon, get strong. Guys, get ripped. Girls get the "girls" up and get those gorgeous "guns" for sleeveless tops.

    I pledge 1200 for July.

    GOAL ONE 228     (take 2)
    GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
    GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
    FINAL GOAL 165

     It's not about the results. Its about the process.

            I'll also do 500. This is new for me, so I hope I can do "girl" pushups -- knees -- until I get a little stronger.

              dthomps - "girlie" bent knee push ups are fine. Thats what I do right now too. WHen all your weight is in the can it's too hard on your back to hold it all up with the regular ones. As you get stronger, you can put your knees on a raised step and that increases the difficulty but it still is not as hard as a regular pushup.

              OK, dt, liv and Georgiana - I have got you in on this. That's five of us so far.

                          Dibby, you have to start somewhere. Better to take a conservative number and do well then set your sights to high and give up. 300 is fine!
