Can you do a hundred push-ups?

I guarantee I can’t. Honestly, before today, I’d have told you I couldn’t do a single one.

I just got up off the floor, where I did four. Yes, four. The sad thing is, it’s almost like a victory. I’ve got no history of having any muscle mass, so even four seemed like a lot.

The website hundredpushups.com is a challenge to get people doing one hundred pushups at the end of six weeks. I’ve signed up, and so should you.

Honestly, if I’m going to get my weight under control, it will need a bit more than just push ups (and it’s hard to do a deep pushup with your belly in the way) but every little bit helps.
