I used to have decent upper body strength but then I switched from doing triathlons to pure running and I now have very weak arms. 2018 will be year of the press up - the most basic upper body exercise. I'm aiming for 5,000 this year and kicked off with 30 today. Anyone want join me? |

Initially 5,000 seemed so many but figure that's 10 on the morning and 10 at night for 5 days per week on average... OK done 10 this morning so a week behind but am going to give it a go ☺ |

Good stuff. I figured 100 per week was a reasonable target

I might consider this, will you be doing a spreadsheet link for it?

I was assuming people would keep their own tally and then post on the thread. I could set up an article which can be edited?

That's a neat target Dave. My normal routine is to do 25-30 4-5 days a week when I get in from my morning run which ties in nicely.
