Day 30: 30-Day Pushup Challenge

Well, I forgot to post this on Sunday, but I did keep up with my daily regimen, and made it to 15 consecutive pushups. I feel pretty good about this since I started with three just a month before. 

Nowhere near 50 yet, but I'll keep working on it...

Dang... back to six. Seems to be my sticking point...

Day 6: 30-Day Pushup Challenge

Seven! I took someone's advice and tried to do eight, so I almost made it. Another tip was to clench my butt to stabilize my core and support my lower back. I think it helps.

Five... not sure why I couldn't get six like yesterday...

Day 1: 30-Day Pushup Challenge

For those of you who were jocks in high school, motivation to workout is unnecessary. For the rest of us, motivation to get active in adulthood is elusive.  Frankly, I would rather do absolutely nothing than move my body to the point of getting sweaty and out of breath. However! I am aware that daily movement and sweat = looking good.  Also, health = feeling good. But let's be real, it's about looking good. So, in the pursuit of vanity, I have decided to adopt the (almost entirely arbitrary) goal of doing 50 consecutive pushups.

Those biceps!

Step one is a 30-Day challenge to do as many pushups per day as possible. Pretty sure this will tone my arms nicely. I've always wanted to have better upper-body strength and look more like a soldier than a muppet. 

No biceps to speak of.

Today, I can do approximately 1.5 regular pushups, or 10 on my knees. It's going to take a while, I guess, but if I do as many as I can every day, then I should probably be able to reach my goal sometime before Christmas.
