Inspired by Running Betty’s video, I decided to make a video of my starting point, too.
There you have it! 30 push-ups 
Before you laugh, girlie push-ups totally count. Don’t believe me, click here. They’re referred to as “alternative push-ups”.
Looks like I need to work on my form, though. I think my big ol’ badunkadunk was sticking up too much. I blame it on the booty not the form. 
BTW…Did you notice my green toenails or were you too distracted by my sexy pajamas? LOL

Okay. Maybe I will try this. I came by earlier today and read all about it. I even printed off week one! ha ha Funnier than that is that you posted about it in a comment to me after I did that, so now I kinda feel obligated to challenge myself with this cool challenge. Now let me go see what I have to do to participate
Oh and great video!!!

You go girl!! I have not taken the plunge yet and when (and if) I do there will NOT be video. I can see that coming back to haunt me.
I have had the “Couch-to-5K Running Plan” printed off and by my nightstand to look at. I’m so old and starting so late
Will keep checking back on you.

Good job, I’m impressed!
And I loved your green toenails!

Good job! I know many people who would have a difficult time doing 30 push ups, ‘alternative’ or not. I noticed your stomach starting to fall towards the end (hence the booty concern). If you flex your abs, it’ll keep your upper body straight while giving your core a workout too!
Have you tried planks?

You go girl! Wow 30. Very impressive.BTW They all looked good to me.

Thanks for the support everyone!
@Dan- I love doing planks! Crazy, I know! They hurt like a mo’ fo’, but I really notice my strength improving when I do them regularly.

You are awesome! So can I still do this while 8 mo. preggo? My “alternate alternative push-up” would have to be on the coffee table. Belly hits the floor!

I think your form looked great.
Regarding PLANKS: we go up a level every few weeks in my core class. We started with elbows on the floor, then worked up to bringing your knees in, then straight arms on a ball, then bringing your knees in with straight arms on a ball, then on your elbows on a ball, then bringing your knees in (30 seconds, 2 reps). Now our “homework” from core class is ONE elbow on the ball, 2nd arm straight out in front. I can only do about 2 seconds!!
