Challenge

Looks like I failed with my hopes to post at least once a day. But when you fall off the horse, you have to get back up, right? (Unless your fall tragically renders you paraplegic or something, but I'm only speaking proverbially here...)

Soon I plan to post some of the things I've written in the past (as sort of a virtual portfolio), but that could take a while. In the meantime, I'm going to try to post at least something -- whether it's a link to an interesting or thought-provoking article/website, or an actual blog post -- once a day.

For now I'll leave you with a link to this website, OneHundredPushups. It claims to be able to have you doing 100 pushups in a row after you do its six-week training program, which is essentially a schedule of 5 sets of a certain number of pushups each day. It seems pretty reasonable and focused on beginners, with the first day calling for as little as 2 pushups each set.

I think push ups are one of the best and easiest (and by easy I just mean not requiring equipment or even a whole lot of space) total body exercises one can do, so I say give it a shot. It's essentially a matter of building up endurance, which takes consistent work; but if you think a healthy body is worth it (and it is), I'd say it's worth a shot.
