DONE!!!!!!!!!

2570/2500 Pushups

6035/6000 Crunches

May have more tomorrow, but I have reached my 3rd goal increase.  I have not been good at guessing how I will do on these dang challenges. 

 



GREAT JOB!!

I have 2 more sessions to go and I will make it.

One thing for sure...this challenge has made it easier to "push away" from the table at some of the meals over the holidays.

One more day/session to go here.

Question is - Is this the final week, or are we including this Sat., Sun. and Mon. towards the final week?

Thanks.

I have been slacking a bit through the holidays...plus, when I inrcreased to 3 X 35 pushups, my shoulders and left elbow were feeling it, so I backed off a bit.  All seems well now.  I have to add it all up to see how far short I am   I was planning on going to dec. 31, but if we stop today, I'll just go till then and maybe make up the difference!

I'm thinking the 31st.  Gives you a bit more time to hit those high numbers.

I think I forgot to post last weeks results, but I have met all of my daily targets.  The summary is as follows:

Week 1 - 600 crunches - 315 Pushups

Week 2 - 750 crunches - 300 Pushups

Week 3 - 900 crunches - 375 Pushups

Week 4 - 1050 crunches - 450 Pushups

Totals - 3300 Crunches - 1440 Pushups

I plan on kicking it up to the next level for Monday to finish out the month.

12/31 - 240 Crunches - 105 Pushups

That will give me a monthly total of 3540 Crunches and 1545 Pushups.

Hey, everyone... three more workout days (counting today) to go with our challenge!  I am rooting for everyone who still has more to do, and my congratulations to those who have met or exceeded their goals.

I completed my challenge this morning... might just sneak in a few more of each on Monday, just to satisfy my overachiever self...

Push-ups = 600
[600 = 100%]

Crunches = 4500
[
4500 = 100% ]

ok, went back and added my totals up...lsaw lots of "will do abs later" in the latter parts fo the month. oops..still doing way more than I would normally do, so it's all good.  As of 12/28:

Pushups -  2035/2310...only 300 to go, so I'm on track there.

Abs - 5720 / 8820...3,000+ to go.  HA.  That would mean I have to do 1,000+ abs a day the next 3 days.  That's absurd.  I will do a resonable amount and just call myself a loser   I'm ok with it.

It has definitely become a habit, which I have incorporated into my plan for January... nice to actually feel my triceps!

Definitely works those Triceps.

Mimi's a loser.  Just had to say it at least once.  I'm kidding of course (please don't hurt me).  With the holidays and all I am surprised that so many met the goal set.  Also, How many people in normal life would commit to this challenge?

OK...so I'm failing my first challenge miserably. However, this is still 100% more than I would have done had I not entered. So thank you for organizing this.

Goal:
pushups: 1061
crunches: 7100

Current:
pushups: 580
crunches: 3850

Final:
pushups: 680
crunches: 4400

My stomach feels flatter (minus the huge layer of post-baby fat on the front...but that's a weight loss issue). My triceps are definitely stronger (I couldn't even do 10 pushups in a row when I started...now I can do 25).

Challenge is complete.

Robyn,  It is the Triing that makes it worth while.  If you have gone where you haven't gone before than you were successful (unless your Mimi, she's a loser).

Reno9 -  Thanks for noticing the sig line.  I get tired of everyone blaming everyone for their own shortcomings.  Get over it and get better...geeesh.  This is not directed at people here,  I love the people here.  I have found that on this site people try and try again to get better.

I can pick on Mimi cause she is too far away to hurt me (too bad).   Plus the fact her avatar just looks like she can be picked on...

I have totally fallen off the wagon over Christmas, so i have no idea where I even got to with my goals.

BUT, doing this challenge felt terrific - I've noticed the difference (the wrong way) since I stopped and I'm determined to keep it in the plan going forward.

Happy New Year everyone!

Do keep after it gilley.  Even if it is a few sets a day, morning and evening, it will help alot.  It will help in appearance as well as mental well being knowing that you did it for yourself.

Final day today:

4 days at 100 pushups and 100 abs (situps/crunches) each day
Last day (today) - 100 pushups and 100 abs completed and completing another 100 each exercise by the end of the day.

Total for 3 weeks:
 Week 1 - 160 each
 Week 2 - 180 each
 Week 3 - 210 each
160 + 180 + 210 = 550 pushups, and 550 crunches/situps.

Total for week 4 plus:
 600 pushups and 600 crunches/situps

Final total for the month of Dec.:
 550 pushups + 600 pushups = 1150 pushups
 550 crunches/situps + 600 crunches/situps = 1150 crunches/situps

Thank you for creating this challenge!  Doing this challenge along with the Dec. swim challenge REALLY helped my upper body and I wouldn't doubt made me that much stronger!  Good luck to you all in the new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Crunches    4350 out of 4440

Not bad, i think.. :D
