100 push ups challenge

So, I recently came across this website which I think is fantastic.  Basically, it is all about doing 100 push ups in six weeks with only 30 minutes a week.  Push ups are great strength building exercise and work the upper body – shoulders, arms and abs.  Push ups are free!  no fancy equipment, no gym membership, nothing but you and gravity!  Great stuff.

One of the biggest problems with setting exercise goals is that there is a plethora of information on what you should and shouldn’t do on the internet….it is so easy to get lost in reading, reading and reading about it and not actually setting up a program and getting down to the exercise.  The 100 push ups site is great, because it sets out a program for various initial fitness levels right there on the screen.  It’s simple and direct.  Strength for dummies almost.

Take the 100 push up challenge with me – c’mon 6 weeks to more strenght can only be a good thing!
