As promised, I’m posting about my first week of doing the hundred push up training program. As I noted I did score pretty high in the initial test, and I started in the bracket that aligned with my initial score but quickly realized I should drop down to the middle tier and go with that first. After doing the first day at the highest level I was really sore for the next 2 days. This indicated to me that it would make a lot of sense to drop down and use the lower level to build up strength.

I’ve found that doing the set’s of push ups in the morning works best for me. I do the routine just before I get into the shower every morning, so far I’ve been doing Monday, Wednesday and Friday which is perfect for me and it’s been going well. Dropping down to a lower level might be a little easier in the short term but as I’ve mentioned previously I’m in this for the long haul so going down to a lower level to build up strength definitely works for me.

All in all the first week has been great and I’m looking forward to many more weeks of building strength and shedding a couple of pounds!
