Today’s Thought To Share - Easily Do 100 Pushups
Welcome! If you're new to my site, click HERE to let me show you where the best benefits for yourself are located. Thanks for visiting!
Morning all!
Today’s thought to share deals with 100 pushups.
You’ve probably seen sites like
right? The premise is simple - work out and train your body until you can do 100 pushups in a row.
Believe it or not, that’s not difficult at all. I should know - I just DID 100 pushups.
Okay, true, they were in batches of 30 and 20 and 10. Generally I can bash out 30 pushups at once time, then rest for a minute, then do 20, rest again, then 10, etc. But all pushups really take it building your arms/back/chest and taking it one day at a time.
Pullups, now - those are truly challenging (but not impossible!). At my peak, I was able to do 4 at one time! Don’t laugh - it took me many months of working out to achieve that. :) Alas, my physical condition has slipped and I’m back down to 1, but give me time!
Need resources to teach yourself pushups and pullups? Check out:
- Mistressing the pullup
- How To Do Pull-ups and Chin-ups With Proper Technique
- Working Towards 100+ Pushups
Getting yourself into shape is just plain common sense - I hope the above resources are helpful. Give yourself a month or so of dedicated , and doing 100 pushups should become a snap. That’s my goal today!
Enjoy,
Barbara Ling

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-16 Summary: overall good … Nice idea, but for most people who do not work out constantly, this may not help so much as you expected … be sure to be able to make 50 standard pushup to take full advantage of this product … This only works well on floor, not as well on carpet. 
…more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-15 Summary: Simple tool, simple review … They are solid. They rotate freely. I’ve used them in a gym with chalk in the area and the rotating mechanism hasn’t gotten clogged / slower. They are much more comfortable on your wrists than doing pushups on the ground. They allow you to lower yourself to the ground properly with your hands at your sides. They’re simple, and they work great. …more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-12 Summary: Spectacular!! … The Perfect Pushup is the best compliment to my cardio routine because it completely works my entire upper body, not just my chest and shoulders. I love it!! …more
Editorial Reviews — … Product Description | The Perfect Pushup puts a new spin on one of the oldest exercises, the pushup. Invented by someone who knows a lot about pushups, former U.S. Navy SEAL, Alden Mills, the Perfect Pushup’s rotating handles allow your arms to rotate naturally when you do pushups the same way they do when you throw a punch or press up a dumb bell. This unique feature accelerates results by engaging more muscles in the arms, chest, shoulders, and back. It also helps reduce strain on wrists and elbows, and helps…more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-01 Summary: YOU WILL GET SORE … I like the push up pro. I do feel the difference, however I do get sore and tight in the shoulder area which is no problem because I must be working something. I feel the flab beneath my arms tighten which is the main reason for my purchase. I would recommmend for females. …more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-23 Summary: Great product at a great price … If you’re looking for the cheapest fitness item that actually works, this is it. It is exactly as advertised. Product is well built, and easy to use. It definitely relieves wrist strain when doing push ups. Like normal pushups, you can adjust the width between your hands to get different muscle areas. This product doesn’t make pushups any easier, but it does relieve strain on your hands and wrists, and feels like it’s working more of your muscles. I highly recommend it. Don’t let the plastic fool you, I’m 255 lbs and …more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-21 Summary: Does what it says … Good item for a great price. I have used this and the other twisty push up bars, perfect push up. These were cheaper so I got them. The action during the push up is smooth and there is very little difference between the 2 products. If anything these seem lower to the ground and the grips feel different. That’s about it. Glad I got it! JT …more
