Push-ups

This challenge starts on July 1st and runs until the 2nd week of October. You in?

There are TONS of free videos online for how to do proper push-ups. Even so, we did another quick one. Before that, for the 100 Day Challenge we have a few criteria:

Whether you are on your toes or on your knees, we want you to touch your chest to the ground as you do down.
We want you to lock out your arms as you push up.
We want you to keep your body ridgid like a wooden plank as you do your push-up.
And last, we want you to HAVE FUN!

As you get into the later days of the challenge (days 70 or higher), it is VERY important that you break up the reps into manageable chunks that your shoulders and arms can handle. If it is uncomfortable to do more than 5 push-ups at a time, then do as many sets of 5 as you need to throughout the day to complete all your reps (75 reps = 15 sets of 5 push-ups).

If you miss some or all of your push-ups on a particular day, just add some or all of them to the next days and catch up as quickly as is reasonable. Only hard rule is that on day 100 you are DONE! This isn’t the 150 day challenge, so if you have 331 push-ups left to do on day 100 to complete them all, then that is what you are going to do!

Now on to Jeff’s amazing instructional video. :-)
