100 Push Ups Challenge

Inspired by JD’s (http://www.getfitslowly.com/), I’m taking on the 100 push-ups challenge too. What is this challenge?
Get in shape to do doing 100 push-ups at a stretch in 6 weeks. This to be done through a specific program – http://hundredpushups.com/index.html.

Since I have been trying a fitness routine over the last few weeks, my initial push ups count was 16. From here I have to go to 100 push-ups in a stretch over the next 6 weeks. 28th July is the d-day.
Why the one hundred push ups program?

  • nothing beats a challenge in trying to get fit
  • 6 weeks – is a nice short period to try a challenge
  • 100 push ups – impressive end result for the challenge

I also have to add that I liked the design of the one hundred push ups site. Its ‘to the point’, not too verbose, simple & professional design, etc.
