Battlecat Dec 2014 1:44pm, 1 Dec 2014 4,146 posts	0 Battlecat Ooh, I'm sort of doing this. I started the year doing the Pete Reid push up challenge which was increasing by one each day. I got to July before I was out but about 4 mates are still going - 300 odd they're up to. I've started this morning with 10 and I'll do 20 tomorrow, 30 on Wednesday etc.

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:-).
