This week, I started a quest to do 100 pushups. There’s a site devoted to this goal called, appropriately, one hundred push ups. The goal is to work your way up to doing 100 pushups in six weeks.
Rather than explain it to detail, I’ll refer you to J.D. Roth’s blog, Get Fit Slowly. J.D. is not only participating, but is kind enough to be putting reminders up to keep everyone on track.
And be sure to check out J.D.’s excellent financial blog, Get Rich Slowly (as seen on TV!).

it is one of the best exercises but push-ups only strengthen your upper musculature..
and mix it with some exercises for better results..

Sure, I know that’s best. But I’m kind of aiming for small victories right now. I’ve tried starting a serious workout routine, and ended up slipping up after a few weeks.
I figure if I start a simple, short-term goal now, I can use the feeling of accomplishment to drive me to the next step. It’s like Dave Ramsey’s debt snowball, only with fat cells!
