NDWDave Jan 2018 1:19pm, 6 Jan 2018 5,547 posts	0 NDWDave I used to have decent upper body strength but then I switched from doing triathlons to pure running and I now have very weak arms. 2018 will be year of the press up - the most basic upper body exercise. I'm aiming for 5,000 this year and kicked off with 30 today. Anyone want join me?

Claypole Jan 2018 2:46pm, 6 Jan 2018 307 posts	0 Claypole Initially 5,000 seemed so many but figure that's 10 on the morning and 10 at night for 5 days per week on average... OK done 10 this morning so a week behind but am going to give it a go ☺
NDWDave Jan 2018 2:52pm, 6 Jan 2018 5,549 posts	0 NDWDave Good stuff. I figured 100 per week was a reasonable target

Brig Jan 2018 9:09pm, 6 Jan 2018 302 posts	0 Brig Oh gosh that is a big number! I think I will just aim for doing 3 a day to start with
alpenrose Jan 2018 9:35pm, 6 Jan 2018 31,075 posts	0 alpenrose I might consider this, will you be doing a spreadsheet link for it?
NDWDave Jan 2018 9:38pm, 6 Jan 2018 5,555 posts	0 NDWDave I was assuming people would keep their own tally and then post on the thread. I could set up an article which can be edited?
flyingfinn Jan 2018 9:41pm, 6 Jan 2018 853 posts	0 flyingfinn That's a neat target Dave. My normal routine is to do 25-30 4-5 days a week when I get in from my morning run which ties in nicely.
