Push-ups are a great way to get an upper body, core, and balance workout all in one “easy” exercise! This month, we’re going to make this available to any and all comers - start where you are and then build, build, build!
Wall push-ups, kneeling push-ups, traditional planks, one arm, clapping hands, whatever you can do on day one, set that as your baseline. I like to break mine into separate sets with a couple other movements in between, and you may prefer to do yours all in one go. Any way works, as long as we set ourselves the goal of improving a little each day.
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” - so be sure to rest every 5 or 7 days, whatever works for you.
Here’s an example of how to increase - each number here is for pushups done in one set each day.
Week 1
5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, rest
Week 2
8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 15, rest
Week 3
12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 18, rest
Week 4
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, rest,
Extra days
23, 25
Each day, check in and let us know how many of what type you have done - and cheer on our friends! 💪

Heres what ill aim to do for my push up challenge. Seems reasonable. Seen something like this posted somewhere once before and liked the concept even though its based on progression from a January type thing.
June = the 6th month of the year so do a base number of 6 push ups each day + the date number of the specific day.
June 1st will be 6 +1 = 7 push ups.
June 2nd will be 6 + 2 = 8 pushups
So on and on and then..
June 30th will be 6 + 30 = 36 push ups.
Anyway. Its June 1st here. Just did my 7 pushups for the day. 😆

So I started with some kneeling push-ups and realized 3 in that it caused to much pain in my left shoulder that I injured almost a year ago.
So plan B it is ( kinda bummed about that) … 20 wall pushups
Think I’ll follow the chart above shared by @les
For these wall pushups
Day 1 complete

Day 1. Did it!
My challenge is to see how many pushups i can do at one time
Today: 7:15am 15 pushups
