I recently discovered the website hundredpushups.com. The site provides a simple, progressive, training program to get any person doing one hundred consecutive push ups within just six weeks.

It doesn’t matter whether you are at “I can barely do two push ups…” or “I can already do thirty…”, the program works for everyone.

It starts off with an initial test to establish where you are right now. Based on your initial level, you then follow a customized workout program that is only three days a week for a total of six weeks.

I am currently on Week 3, and did 90 push ups today (in small sets of about 15 push ups each with one minute breaks in between). It wasn’t too hard. Hopefully I will be at 100 continuous push ups by Week 6.

I personally found the information on the website more than enough to get started. However, for those who need it, the site owner has published a book called 7 Weeks to 100 Push-Ups. The book has detailed workout plans and effective warm-up exercises and stretches to safely complete the program.

The reason I love this workout is that it takes only a few minutes a day to complete, and ramps up in gradual, easily manageable steps, which fits in with the Kaizen Principle for achieving massive change effortlessly

Also, push ups are something I can do anywhere (without needing a gym) and anytime I have a few minutes.

Besides, the idea of being able to do hundred push ups is just plain cool!!

In the words of the site owner -

It really is amazing how grateful people are for having a solid workout plan to follow, and it’s fantastic to have so many people on board with the notion of challenging themselves and doing something positive to be a stronger, fitter and healthier person.

UPDATE: I enjoyed the final week of both the push-ups and pull-ups challenge so much that I incorporated them into my daily workout routine. It is a reasonably hard-core workout that is focussed towards getting fast results while being sustainable and is an ideal way to get toned and in shape without needing too much gym equipment.
