100 Pushups by August
Recently, I discovered a web site that claims that anyone can do 100 pushups by following their aggressive program. I have decided to give it a try. So based on their 6 week schedule, I should be able to do 100 pushups by August 2008 if I follow their program.
I was already in "fair" to "decent" shape. Before starting this regimen, I could crank out 30 to 40 pushups in an ideal environment (rested, motivated, awake, sober) I'm a fairly active guy, but I don't have a lot of disposable time to work out. I have some time in the evenings after I get the kids to bed, but I rarely have enough energy at night to go work out or go on a run. However, I was looking for a way to stay in shape, get stronger and so forth without going to the gym, buying equipment or most importantly requiring a lot of time. This program seems to fit the bill.
Knowing that sticking to an exercise program would be difficult, despite being only 6 weeks and only requiring 30 minutes a week, I had to insure I would stick with it. My first step was telling people at my office that I was starting this program. Some co-workers were interested and some even claimed to start it themselves. But that just didn't seem like enough. So I decided tell as many people I can through my blog (all 3 of you). Finally, I decided to track my progress. The final motivation is making this progress publicly available, which makes me accountable for my progress.
