100 Pushups by August

Sometimes you gotta set some goals
[Misc] 

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.

Track my progress

Re: 100 Pushups by August

Going to Kentucky over the 4th of July and getting a Wii to play with has taken me off track. I plan on starting this program over in the near future, when I know I have few distractions.
