Pushing Our Luck Challenge: Final Exhaustion Test

by // // Comments off

On Wednesday, I finished the March Pushing Our Luck Challenge (also known as the Hundred Push-up Program) by performing my final exhaustion test.  I completed 70 push-ups.  Not, quite one hundred but pretty good, I suppose.

I vlogged my final exhaustion test for your amusement and yes, I did 70 alternate girlie push-ups.  Don’t judge.

Although I only completed 70, there has been some definite improvement.  At the initial test, I could only do 30 alternate push-ups, so I’ve more than doubled my maximum set, which means I’ve increased my endurance and strength. In the end, that’s what it is all about, isn’t it?

How did you finish the March Pushing Our Luck Challenge?  Did you show some improvement too?

For our next challenge, we’re springing into April with Run DMT’s 30 Day Burpee Challenge.  We’re only on Day 5, so there’s still plenty time to join the fun.  Found out more about the burpee challenge and join the linky party here.  Also, follow #30burpees on Twitter track everyone’s progress.
