Well, not as bad as I thought, or as bad as it could have been.
In the initial test, I managed 6 good-form (no cheating) pushups w/o a break. That puts me into the level 2 area of the program, which I can deal with.
I’ll start week 1 on Wednesday or Thursday, so check back, and see how we’re doing.
Today, I saw a tweet by @kevinrose that he was getting ready to start the hundred pushups challenge.
This is a 6 week program that guides you through building the strength and endurance it takes in order to accomplish the goal: 100 consecutive pushups, without a break.
In my (much) younger days, I used to be rather fit. I was on the track team in High School, and did pretty well. Since then, I haven’t exactly been working to maintain my previous level of fitness, so I think that doing this will really give me a push to get back into better shape (better than ’round’, at least).
So, I’ll be posting my progress here if anyone’s interested in following it.
Wish me luck.
