On the banks of Loch Skene, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the sounds of running water, I couldn’t resist an attempt at the ‘exhaustion test’, even though I’d just climbed the UK’s 5th highest waterfall ‘Grey Mare’s Tail’. and was about to ascend two more summits. I had 35+ push ups in me but straight after an energy sapping climb and with my palms pushing into the jagged grit I’m happy enough with 33 for now. Yes keeping in shape can be fun, this was exhilarating.

I started the 100 pushups challenge about 10 weeks ago, see http://www.hundredpushups.com , In my initial exhaustion test I managed 20 maximum. the next test I managed 24, and this time I did 29.
The program suggests in 7 weeks it’s possible to do 100 consecutive pushups. It also says, and I strongly agree, that you can repeat any week/s. So 29 push ups puts me on week 3, column 3 . The important thing is that you are progressing. Keep training and stay positive, Ernie.
