    ZHR I sometimes find that I feel pressure in my forehead, so not quite a head ache but if I kept going it would probably start to hurt not good.

    Well done SS Let us know how you get on

    I fell off the wagon a bit with mine & have just been ticking over... In fact I am just about to start again on the challenge- I seem to have leveled out at week 4 column 2 day 3.

    it's from nothing to a really blinding headache within 30 secs - but normally when doing high intensity stuff, i.e., circuit-training.

    I had thought it was forgetting to breathe, as SS says - and it might be.

    But once it starts, no amount of breathing will get rid of it ...

    Time off press-ups for no legitimate concrete reason last week.

    Kicked back in at the comfortable Week 4 Column 3

    Starting this off again at Week 1 and Day 1.

    I've not lost all the ability, I just think its harder to keep starting midway through

    they had us doing timed press-ups the other night: you perform the press-up on a scale of 1 (arms straight) to 5 (chest almost to floor) and hold it for as long as the instructor takes to call out the next number

    it was emotional ...

    On week two day two, but... third column. In my youth (Some 22 years ago), I could do 54 one handed push ups. However, time, like girth, has crept up on me. Looking forward to challenging the young gym rat, 25 years my junior, to a push up comp at work when I hit the 100 target.

    Did start on the challenge some time ago but now have to admit 100 in a row has been too hard..........but have incorporated press-ups(25*4) and sit-ups into me training, and feel the benefit in core strength.keeps me weight down an all.

    Re: The 100 push up challenge

    Just tried to start this, and found that I can't even do 3 press ups! I'm doing them like they say on the website, starting from the prone position and lifting up, this is harder than I remember, I think I've never ever done press ups properly...

    Well I think I'll do the program with the knee press ups, then repeat with real press ups after that.

    I would just do weeks 1-3 from your knees and then try a max test with the proper ones. Reckon you'd be able to do well after that. Save doing a full programme on your knees.
