Can you do
100 pushups?
Can you do
100 pushups nonstop?
No matter
how good of shape you’re in, doing 100 pushups in a row is a big task to
tackle. This is a workout that I developed over time to get most people from
being able to do a few pushups, to being able to do 100 pushups in 45 days.
Not only
will you be able to do 100 pushups after the 45 days, you will also build your
upper body, and tone the rest of your body. You will also end up losing several
pounds of fat, if you work on your diet as well.
So what are
the benefits of being able to do 100 pushups nonstop? One is that you will be in
an elite group of people. Do you know anyone who can do 100 pushups? There are
probably more people that can run a marathon than people who can do 100 pushups
in a row.
Benefits of this workout
This workout
will also define and tone all the muscles in your upper body. Your arms,
shoulders, chest and upper back will all show noticeable benefits. If you stick
with it and do the whole workout, you will also tone your abs and legs and get
a cardio workout as well, every day.
Two other
huge benefits of this workout are you can do the workouts in only 20 minutes a
day, and you don’t need any special equipment. Does this workout sound too good
to be true? It’s not, it really works, but it is not easy. You will get a real
workout and you will feel great, and you will look better.
What you need for the workout
Here is what
you need. You can get by with one set of dumbbells, not the round ones; get the
ones with flats on the weights. Pick the weight by what type of shape you’re in
when you start.
For men I
would start with 20 or 25 pound dumbbells. For women, 10 to 15 pound dumbbells
will probably work well; go heavier if you’re already stronger. If you want to
get another piece of equipment to make it easier, get a set of perfect pushups
handles, or another type of pushup handles.
I don’t want
you to do the pushups with your hands on the ground. The perfect pushups
handles work great, otherwise get a couple of hand towels and lay them on the
dumbbell handles and do the pushups on the dumbbells so you don’t put extra
strain on your wrists.
Pushups are very hard on your wrists if you do
them with your hands flat on the floor. If you don’t have dumbbells or perfect pushup
handles, do them on your fists, just keep your wrists strait.
How to do pushups
Check your health
Make sure
you are healthy enough to do this by checking with your doctor before you
start.
Here is the
workout; it is a very simple workout, just stick with it. Do the exercises each
day, rest as little as possible between each set. Do one set of each exercise,
then start over again for the full circuit and finish with 7 sets of jumping
jacks at the end of the workout.
Get going and do it
When the 45
days are over, don’t quit. Find a few good workouts to do to keep improving
your muscle tone and strength. Make sure you keep pushups in your workout, they
are the ultimate upper body exercise that you should do for the rest of your
life.
If you commit to this workout, you will feel
great when you’re done and will be in much better shape than you are now. You
will have gotten in shape at home in a very short time, while fitting the
workout into your busy schedule without causing you to spend much workout time.
Make the decision to do it and get started today, you won’t be disappointed.
