I'm im. Could stand to roll this into my running. I've kept off any pregnancy weight, gotta keep the momentum going.

I'd love to do a 100 push ups but a having a bum wrist kind of puts a damper on things.

Instead of flat-handed push-ups, make a fist. Maybe that would help?

I'll watch.
Good idea though.
(did some pushups with the 11yo scouts last month. I guess we get to do it again this month)

I go to the gym pretty regularly but calisthenics are my weak point. Guess I'm too heavy..
Count me in it's always fun to track progress.
Anyone feeling particularly strong try something similar with pull ups great exercise for many muscles. I use one of the doorway things for that.

What a come down, I could only do 22 before I pooped out. In my Navy days and up until about 60 I would do 50 push ups, 100 set ups, and about 25 chin ups every other day just to stay in shape. I will be 84 in May so I am cutting myself a little slack.

Awesome! 22reps at 84 is sweet.
25 chins in a row? That's pretty good at any age. I got up to 20 a while back, but I'm happy with sets of 10 these days. 50 has long been my max on pushups. Not that hard to get there, but hella impossible to go past.

I also do mine with a fist, other wise it hurts my wrist.
My work out consist of push ups, pull ups, dips and bike riding. At my age it's more about feeling good than what i look like.

Today was chest day. Finished my workout and was able to knockout 50 straight. Did 3 sets of those. I'm pooped.

I felt damn lucky to get 40 in after work today... Though only 38 should count because my last 2 were pretty (really) pathetic.

Chin touching the floor? Chest touching? Rolled up towel?

My wife reminded me, it was the Korean officer that came on board ship that did 25, I only did 20 and would always hit a brick wall. I am playing pickle ball with the young kids, under 60, and doing pretty good but sure get pooped after 3 doubles games.

Not bad at all. You'll be starting at week 2?
LOL the young kids (under 60?)
Ok, epic internal struggle going on here: The ego/curiosity wants me to drop and rip 50+, but my torn shoulder is happy that it doesn't hurt (much) today (chest day) and says NO.

There's not nearly enough wimpy fatsos jumping on this ship. You guys are making me feel bad.
Should we start Monday? I think I'll do day one three times, this Wednesday and Friday and then again for real on Monday.

I started last night, using the app, I managed 20.
I don't do it again till Wed. Then it's reps of 6-6-4-4-5.
