New Years Day Push-Up Challenge

How many push-ups do you think you can do in one day? I think you can do 1,000. S let's give it a try on the first day of 2012! Break it up however you want to, I'm thinking 20 sets of 50. Keep me posted on how you do!

Also, it's the start of a new trimester friends! Let me know what your schedule is going to be so we can figure it when we're meeting next trimester.

Welcome to finals week! Ahhhhh!!! Don't worry, you'll be fine. Exercise is an important way to stimulate your nervous system and help you perform better on exams. Seriously.

I'm making all the workouts "prison workouts", meaning you don't need any equipment and could do them from the comfort of your own 4x8ft cell.

Since schedules are weird this week there are no set meeting times. Just grab a buddy and go to the gym...or a room in the library...or whatever.

Good luck!

- 15 push-ups
