  • PUMP UP THOSE PECS! November Push Up Challenge

    OK, Come on out for another round. I am pledging more because my next round will add extras to my sets.

    chinadoll - 0/1500
    JILL

    HW 298
    HW (this time) 248
    GOAL ONE 228
    (take 2)
    GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
    GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND

        I'll be there. But it is hard to think about November already. Have to see how I do in October first. But I am going to sign up for sure. Love to work on pecs. (Well love may not be the word for it .... hmmmm)

              yay. getting it going. Newbies--just do a few a day at first-on knees or regular. Do them early and get them done and add as you go. You will be surprised at how much you improve.

                          Oh I am so all over this....Thank you for your timely challenge. I have been waiting for the November challenges to begin (I know I can do them on my own, but do so much better with a challenge)

                          So, since I plan on joining more than one challenge, and I'm just starting..... Let's try 300 this month.

                            Just a note for anyone with back or knee problems (or who worry that they won't be able to participate because they feel they can't DO a pushup) - any type of pushup is better than NONE! Particularly for those with back or knee issues, you might start by doing pushups against a wall, a countertop, or standing at the bottom of a staircase and then pick out a stair to put your hands on and do them on that... maybe by the end of the month-long challenge you will be able to work down to a lower step!

                              Ok, newbie joining the challenge. I thought about waiting for 30 days before doing any challenges....but where is the fun in that.
                              Jumping in feet first.
                              I will do 300 this month. At least 10 per day.
                              Hoping to do more.
