steeplechaser Feb 2011 10:58am, 1 Feb 2011 17 posts	0 steeplechaser 3 x 19 done. Big one tomorrow 3 x 20! Also started February challenge for sit-ups . Did 3 sets of 1,2.3.4.5.6 & 7 today. Plan to catch up with press-ups to do same number each day. I think sit-ups are easier so should be able to catch up soon.
Dogtanian Feb 2011 10:40pm, 1 Feb 2011 459 posts	0 Dogtanian Well done SC. I'm really struggling to get motivated to start the push ups again. I need a kick up the backside.

About This Thread

Maintained by Dogtanian

Start on day 1 with 3 x 1 press up. On day 2 move to 3 x 2 and keep increasing by one every day. If you fail to do the target for the day then you try the same number the next day, only increasing when you have done the session properly. The Marathon talk challenge is to get to 3 x 100 push ups.

There are no real rules except all three sets must be done in the same session though. No going to wash your hair/walk the dog in-between sets:-).
