    This is a great challenge, but 100??  I've done 10 today, which awesomely spurred my 4 year old to mimic me and let me show her how to do a proper pushup too, but I might have to set a more attainable goal of 20 per day to start!  Hey, it's 20 more than I was doing on any other day (outside a workout video that might include pushups).  Thanks for the challenges though, they are great inspiration!  :)

    Anybody can do 100 – just do them 10 at a time throughout the day! :)

      Lindsay, Thanks for the feedback…good tip!

    I've managed to do 60 push ups today on top of my 45 min Turbo Fire workout! Hopefully I got another 40 push ups in me. I love these challenges!

      Lauren, Great job!

    My husband did something similar…when he quit smoking last year he started doing 1 push up for everyday he didn't smoke. That was 300+ days ago and he can do more then 400 a day… But his shoulder and wrist start hurting. He lost 35+ lbs and 3 waist sizes… It is easier for men I know…. I started last week. I am up to 7 today and I have been walking and doing floor exercises…. I feel like as long as I am doing something it is better then nothing. I figure I will start small and work till it hurts then gradual increase…. But he has inspired me… Good luck to us all!

    Thank you for the feedback. Your story is very inspirational and I'm sure will motivate others! :)

  • Kim

    100 is tough to do but keep working at it. If you can only muster 10 floor pushups (full or knees) to start then do the other 80 throughout the day using the wall or counter top. Eventually you will be able to increase the # of floor pushups and decrease the number of wall/counter pushups. Good luck! Great challenge!

      Thanks Kim for the encouragement to everyone!!

  • Amy

    My plan is to do 25 in the morning, 25 at lunch, 25 when I get home from work and 25 before going to bed. Let's do this!!

    • http://skinnyms.com Skinny Ms.

      Amy, Good for you!!! I love your determination. :)

  • Cortney

    100 push ups a day? Intimidating…. but bring it!! The only way to get stronger is to push past your comfort zone- and this definitely does it!!

    • http://skinnyms.com Skinny Ms.

      Cortney, You've got that right!!! Love your motivating attitude!

  • Shelley

    Break them up & they are very doable :)
    I'm in …

  • Teri

    Day 1 complete. 100 Push Ups. Looking forward to tomorrow and doing it all over again!! Only….tomorrow…I'll add in 100 squats as well. The squats will take place every other day. Let's do this!!!

  • Laura

    100 in the day is absolutely attainable. Just do 10 at a time throughout the day. As you walk by the counter do 10. After making the bed, do 10, etc etc etc.. Put a check for every 10 you do and by the time you go to bed, you will see 100 was no big deal.

  • Katie

    Hi! I'm on day two of this challenge, did 100 yesterday and 75 so far today. I admit I'm doing the "beginner push-up" against a counter, so it's a lot easier than a standard push-up. However, still more than I've ever done in the past, and I plan to work my way up to a proper standard push-up :)
    I love your challenges! thank you!

      Mandy, Great! You’re so welcome.
