I did 5 pushups last night!

I had to brag a little bit because a year ago, and I'm pretty sure, even three months ago, I wouldn't have been able to do 1. I've been working out pretty religiously, 5-6 days a week since March 16 and I'm so proud I have stuck with it for this long :). I may have been able to push out 1 more, except I had just completed a strength training workout and my arms were shaking!

These were full pushups, not the girl pushups too!!

Congratulations!

awesome job!! when i first tried doing push-ups, i couldn't even do one! now i can do almost 20 consecutive ones, or 3 sets of 10 if i take breaks in between!

Congrats!    Feeling stronger always makes me feel great about myself.

Congrats! WTG.

My boyfriend asked me if I wanted to do pushups with him last night. Of course, I accepted the challenge. We are highly competitive with each other, and he always has to one-up me. So, he let me go first (again, so he could make sure he would do more than me :) ).

I told him to tell me if my form was correct when I started. Once he gave me the go, I was able to complete 5. He just stared with amazement that I could do 1 (not in a derogatory way, but I could tell, he was quite impressed).

Of course, when it was his turn, he did 18 in about half the time it took me to do 5. He said he'd be able to do 20 if I wasn't pushing on his butt!

Lately, we've been going around the house flexing our muscles at each other.

I think I'm causing him to care about the weights he's been lifting recently because I am starting to see larger muscles and much more definition on his body than ever before, and he's been working out 3-5 times a week for the last 20 years! (again, it's the competition thing)

Well done!!!

Congrats! I know how awesome that must feel. I started out only being able to do the 'girl' kind. I can only do 4 real ones now, but I follow that with as many of the girl kind as I can and then as many wall push-ups as I can. Before you know it, we'll both be doing 20!

Yahoo!!  I did 7 last night and bragged the same way on Facebook.  It's such an awesome feeling.  I'm so proud of you!

I am going to do 31 pushups tonight, ill do it everyday from now on, I am doing 31 to begin withbecause 13 is my favorite #...

Now that I have proven that I can do them, I'm going to have to set weekly goals for myself.

Way to go!

I hate push-ups.  I think it's because I have bad form, but I'm not sure.  I can do 10 full push-ups but the last five are kind of half-assed (don't go down as low); 2 sets of ten if I rest and stretch my arms in between.  The most I ever did was 25...I was 18 and my arms felt like rubber afterwards...they were useless to me for several minutes.

Keep up the good work!
