ITG 🇮🇸 5 Jan 12:22pm, 5 Jan 2025 18,370 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 Perfect start, @RiceandPeas ! I started 2022 with 3 or 4 sets of 5 and I'm still here 😁
Ness 5 Jan 12:32pm, 5 Jan 2025 47,444 posts	0 Ness That is the best way to start. I only do press ups three days per week but I've built up the volume so I do 4 sets of 20 each session now. I'm currently focusing on improving my form.

NDWDave 5 Jan 5:29pm, 5 Jan 2025 20,572 posts	0 NDWDave I’ve gone past my sit-ups total of last year… 135 vs 110 but it’s a start. Would be great to do 5,001 press-ups and 5,001 sit-ups

I discovered this challenge a few years back and decided why not because I've always been useless at any kind of upper body work. I gradually worked my way from sets of 10 to 20 or even 30 and a total of 100 a day or more. I can't say it's left me ripped but I do feel a difference in the arms and shoulders. A little perseverance and a gradual approach will pay off.
