I feel like one of the most under rated exercises a person can do is the push up. This exercise stimulates your core and builds functional upper body strength. Unfortunately, according to the website hundredpushups.com, the majority of people can’t do more than ten. The website is out to change that with a 6-week program designed to enable a person to do 100 consecutive push ups. The push up workout program goes three days a week for 6 weeks. The program starts with an initial push-up test to determine how the program will be tailored to your ability. If you are a little advanced in your push up skills, you can skip some of the earlier workouts to start at a more suitable level. The progression of push-ups increases each week by increasing the number of sets/reps. By the end of week 6, you do a final fit test to see if you can reach one hundred push ups.
I think I’m going to give this program a try next week when I get back from California and see how it stacks up. Anyone else curious to see if they can do 100 push-ups?

Its so tough working out in hot weather. The amount I sweated during the P90x workout might’ve equaled the amount I lost running. My legs are still sore from yesterday’s track workout and it doesn’t help with the pain from the biking injury but I have to gut it out.
