Really, 100 Push Ups!


I saw this Android app in the Waterloo Courier, and thought I'd try it out. It will train you to do 100 push ups. And since I have never been able to do more than 40-or-so push ups at once I thought I'd give it a try.

I like push ups because you can do them at home, and easily fit them into a busy schedule. Plus, when I am faithful to do them, the results are noticeable pretty quickly.

UPDATE... 10/25/16
My goal had been to do 50 consecutive strict push ups by my 50th birthday. I surpassed that, and did 60 really good ones, and can now consistently do 60-65. My pushup workout is typically five sets of 40 reps with a 90 second rest between sets, but sometimes I'll do more sets of fewer reps. And it all started with this Push up App.
