Last year as my birthday was approaching ....(the big 40) and I was trying to shed pounds with my Death of He Fat program I decided to add another challenge to the mix. So in mid -August I kicked off the 181 Day challenge It was 7,240 Pushups and 10, 860 Abslides in 181 days.
It was a challenge kicking my OCD into high gear as I had to keep out a daily average in order to accomplish my goal....If you missed a day you had to make it up on another day. So even thought the daily ave wasn't that hard to do --there was a lot of catchup.
The final results were 7,240 Pushups ---A daily average of about 40 per day.....
10,915 Abslides a daily average of about 60.3 per day
Along the way I also added regular Situps into the mix for the last 48 days did 5,000 which was a daily average of about 104 a day for those 48 days....
I have all the spreasheets from it still (stupid OCD)
My running total which started on August 20th was about 252 miles in 167 days....A tiny 1.51 per day.
I really kicked the running into high gear after that which gave me much better results. 3.3 mile runs become 6 mile runs.
I tried to start a new abslide and pushup challenge after that which fell off the wagon because I tried to increase the daily ave. and quickly fell to far behind to where I stopped doing them.
Now I've decided to bring a similar challenge back......This time it is Abslides Presses and Curls (with wimpy 10 lb weights) ---You have to start somewhere..
I figure I will do it every other day...and maybe try to squeeze some traditional situps and pushups in between. So I'm not setting a figure just yet .....But it has begun.....
