100 Pushup Challenge Week 2

The 100 Pushup Challenge App has been awesome. I'm up to 81 pushups (in 5 sets) and actually seeing a slight difference in my physique (ooh la la). It takes less than 10 minutes every other day and while I know push ups won't get me all the way to healthy, it is a great first step. The game like interaction created by the app is keeping me challenged and engaged. I'm having fun with it and can't wait until Tuesday when I do my first stress challenge. On Tuesday I will do as may push ups as I can in a single set and see how far from 100 I am. Pin It Now!

100 Push Challenge: Day 3

Ok, so here is the weird thing about the 100 Push Up App. It counts the days that you work out as a day, but it recommends you take a rest in between days. So even though I started on Feb 16, I am only on Day 3. I would prefer if the app actually counted your days off. For example Day 1 would tell you to do your 5 sets of push ups and Day 2 would tell you to rest. Day 3 would tell you to do your 5 sets, Day 4 would tell you to rest. Anyway, that is my user experience feedback ;-) now onto my studification (note to self, register studdad.com).

After taking an extra day of rest while I conquered a cold I pumped out 57 push ups to complete my wekk1. The sets have gotten harder now demanding that I do 11, 15, 9, 9 and 13 push ups. I also noticed a little + sign at the end of the last set. I assume that is encouragement to do a few more if you can. I'm always up for a challenge so I threw in a few more to balance out the few extra beverages I had last weekend.

So far I notice that I am able to do a few more push ups, but I don't see much difference in the way I look. Perhaps the transformation from flab to fab requires a good night sleep? Anyway, I'm having fun with it and the gamification element is keeping me engaged and focused on breaking through to the lext level.

Next up is 63 push ups to start Week 2. Wish me luck.

Day 2 of the 100 push up challenge

Today I did a total of 50 pushups thanks to the Hundred Pushups iPhone app. (Week 1, Day 2, Level 3) #100Pushups


My arms and chest were still a little sore from Thursday, but my stunt training taught me how to muscle through the pain (coffee and Ibuprofen). The sets were 12, 10, 8, 8, and 10, but the break in between was extended from 60 seconds to 90. I'm not ready to put on a tight T-Shirt, more like a tight belt, but I can feel my arms and chest brushing off the con webs. I'm making progress, and it feels good. The app also has a feature to schedule the next workout, so now I'm calendars in for more push ups on Monday.

100 Push Up Challenge - Day 1

Today I did a total of 45 pushups thanks to the Hundred Pushups iPhone
app. (Week 1, Day 1, Level 3) #100Pushups
I could not wait till tomorrow to get started on my 100 push up
challenge. So I opened up the app and did as told. 12, 10, 7, 7 and 9
push ups with 60 second breaks in between each set. My arms hurt, but
in that good "I'm pumped" kinda way.
But guess what? My wife got inspired as well and is also taking the
challenge! She downloaded the Android version of the app and just
finished her 5 sets. Now if I quit I risk her beating me at arm
wrestling...which is kinda hot, but I'm still not gonna let it happen.
I think the program gives me tomorrow off, I'll let ya know how the
next training session goes.
