Yes! I did the Hundred Push Ups. Not without difficulty, but I did it!

The holiday period, relatives from K.L and too much eating made me delay doing Week 6 again.
The last I did push ups following the Hundred Push Ups programme was on 18th December. I never did the final test, even though I didn’t do the week well.
This means I’ve not followed the programme for a week and a half.
I have to confess that following that last week, I did consider giving up the programme, and never testing myself.
Okay, so it looks like I’m starting Week 6 of the Hundred Push Ups programme has started at the end of the week rather than mid-week. Two full days of meetings from morning to night meant I was too exhausted to even think about being healthy and taking care of myself.
Repeating Weeks 4 & 5 means that this programme has already taken me 7 Weeks. But that’s okay. The point of this is to set out to get a bit more fit without giving up, even if it takes slightly longer to get there.
In Week 4, I repeated the same column and progressed to Week 5.
But when I repeated Week 5, I made it a little harder by moving to the second column which technically I wasn’t ready for when I attempted Week 5 the first time. The second column was a struggle at sections, but I managed to do about 10 more push ups at the end of Week 5’s exhaustion test.
Although I barely made it to the second column of Week 6. The second column required 51 – 60 push ups and I slipped in there with 51.
So here we go again, into uncharted territory…
My exhaustion test at the end of Week 5 was not good enough. I needed 45 to get me into Week 6, but I only managed 40.
The instructions say I need to repeat the week. But I think I will make it difficult for myself. Instead of just repeating same column in the week, I’m going to move to the middle column this time. By right I should be fitter.
So let’s see how it goes.
After completing Week Four of the One Hundred Push Ups programme the second time over, I did the exhaustion test and completed 33 good form push ups. As a result of the exhaustion test, I go into Week Five following the first column.
I continue Week Four of the 100 push ups programme.
After ending Week Three on a positive note, Week Four is starting really hard. Harder than the third week.
Okay, so with my week two exhaustion test resulting in 22 push ups, I start week three doing the middle column.
I can find all the excuses in the world to explain why I’ve not been keeping fit. Too busy. Too much work.
How about: Too lazy?
That’s probably the most truthful.
When I was surfing instead of being too busy doing work or instead of taking the time out to get in a bit of a walk, I found a link to this website: One Hundred Push Ups.
I took a look and I was hooked.
