100 Pushups - Week 1

Ok, so I didn't get started on this as soon as I would have liked, but I've officially started now.

My initial test was pathetic, and only served to reinforce the fact that, yes, I am pathetically out of shape. Definitely a rank 1 starter.

I'm finding that the hardest thing to do is to maintain good form throughout the push-up. Like most people I suspect, my butt either wants to lag or lead. I have a harder time keeping everything lined up, but, I'm still working at it. The first day went surprisingly easily, with the rest periods longer than I needed for recovery. Day 2 went easier than expected, given how my body felt, but again, the rest periods seemed longer than I needed. I also found that for whatever reason, it was a little easier to hold form (though by no means is it perfect). Day Three is coming up.

I'll have more updates as I progress.
