That's a very good point and those who have not done push ups in past few months won't be able to do 100 push ups straight away. Best is to start with what your body is comfortable with. I gave it a try after reading this post and was able to do 10 push ups. I will do 10 Push-Ups for next two days also and will increase number of Push-Ups after that.
10 March 2024 (Day 1) - 10 Push-Ups (Done)
11 March 2024 (Day 2) - 10 Push-Ups (Planned)
12 March 2024 (Day 3) - 10 Push-Ups (Planned)
I will come tomorrow and will update about the Push-Ups activity. Wish me luck.
I don't mean to be overly judgmental, but that quantity seems pretty low absent some reason that it needs to be that low. .
In other words, you might want to consider doing three sets of push ups per day (or at least working up to being able to do 3 sets).., because one session per day seems to be pretty whimpy (especially with that quantity of pushups). and you might not experience improvements from that low of a level of pushups and if you are doing them all in one session and that scattered out of your sessions (which for you seems to be ONLY 1 session per day). ..
Of course, in the end, you can engage in this challenge in whatever way that you like...; or whatever fits your lifestyle and/or abilities.
You are very right in saying that quantity of push-ups are very low. The reason is, consider me as a guy who hasn't done push-ups or HIIT workouts for many years and for this reason my muscles are sleeping in comfort zone. I am giving three days time to my muscles to wake up and move out of comfort zone. I am happy that I have done 10 push-ups yesterday and today. From day after tomorrow I will increase my push-up quantity, perhaps 2 sets of 10 push-ups for first two days followed by 3 sets of 10 push-ups. Once my muscles are activated, I am sure I will increase that rate further.
Everyone of us is in different Hypo w.r.t push-ups. I consider myself at very early stage and need to activate my muscles first to gather push-ups on daily basis.
Thanks JJG for this valuable suggestion of executing push-ups in sets. One set followed by another with some gap will help in getting to target of 100 push-ups per day.
In line with seeing a good result physically, I would suggest you should walk or jog at least one or two kilometers per day as a cardio exercise to increase your stamina so you can do more push ups and reps in the next coming days. I don't know if you're tight with schedules, but once you've done it straight for 1 week, you'll surely get used to it. But hey, you need to increase the number of push ups everyday so your body get used to it and will increase your arm strength and capacity to do more reps.
It will be very nice to see a good results with your body as well as seeing good results in your bitcoin holdings. Nothing is more exciting seeing these kinds of improvements.
