25 Days of Push-Ups Challenge!
Welcome to the 25 Days of Push-Ups Challenge!
My goal is to get strong, muscular arms by the end of the month so that I will look and feel my best for summer, the season of sleeveless and short-sleeve tops. Plus, I want my arms to be rocking when I wear my strapless wedding dress! 
Who? Anyone can join!
When? May 5 – May 29, 2010
Where? The beauty of this challenge is that it can be done ANYWHERE. No special equipment required!
How? Five days a week, I will post a new tip on getting the most out of the challenge!
What? I will be doing 2 sets (as many reps as I can handle!) of the following exercises 5 days a week. I plan on taking a 30-60 second break between sets.
#1: Standard Push-Ups. You know, the ones we all know and love (or at least we will by the end of the challenge!)
#2: Diamond Push-Ups. The same as regular push-ups, but with your hands closer together.
#3: Triceps Push-Ups. Keep your hands directly under your shoulders. As you do the push-up, keep your elbows close to your body.
#4: Staggered Push-Ups. Keep one hand directly under your shoulder, and move the other hand forward a few inches. Otherwise, it is the same as a standard push-up. Don’t forget to do both sides!

#5: Side Plank Push-Ups. Do a standard push-up; as you come up, shift your weight to one side, raise the opposite arm towards the ceiling, and come into a side plank. Bring both hands back to floor, and repeat on alternating sides.
I will also be taking before and after pictures, but don’t feel like you need to do this if you don’t want to!
My workouts will be posted here, but I really want this page to be a place for us to all motivate each other. Feel free to leave comments here with your progress, struggles, and successes, as well as encouragement for others!
If you want to show everyone that you are participating, you can add the badge to your sidebar as well!
