Topic: In an homage to Og’s pushup thread I am doing a stair steps thread. - page 7. (Read 1871 times)

WELL I got to my goal of 100 pushup a day average took 75 or 76 days to get there. I know I need to keep it there. So I now do 110 a day and make the angle of pushup more difficult.

I started using the 4th step to make the angle .  So let's say normal pushup you are at  ___ to the floor with fourth step angle maybe you are like this / well not that easy.

I could only do 15 at the 4th step angle. I become able to do 40 at a time on the 3third step and did as many as 250 in a day. in under 90 days.

So I now do 2nd step angle and  3rd step angle total of 110.

I will move it to all 110 on 2nd step

Then a mix of 1st step and 2nd step

Then all first step

I may never do and step less fully normal angle pushups do to mesh for a hernia, but if I eventually get to 110 on first step that will be cool.


As for stairs I can do 600 steps up and down.

I am doing 100 up then 100 then 2 times a day.

The goal is to do 480 up and 480 down 2 times a day.  this is more time consuming.

100 steps up and back down takes 4 minutes

so 480 up and down is about  18-21 minutes of constant movement.

My doctor told me he wants me to do 30 minutes which is about 600 steps as I do slow when I do this many.

These will be slowly added.

If people want to join in here it's cool. But I would even do it alone. I think would need a waver for multiple consecutive posting if no one joins in here. It would be nice to get a few trying this on a steady basis.

You see, you yourself know that the correct board for this type of thread is this one. The bad thing is that if it's here you won't have half as many people doing the challenge, or rather reporting that they're doing the challenge. If I were you, I would even consider moving it to Speculation.

In my case I appreciate the invitation but I've been doing sport regularly for years, and lately what I do is a combination of strength training in the gym with cardio (exercise bike, rowing machine and elliptical are the ones I use the most for cardio). So, I don't need a challenge to get fit, which may suit other people who start with little or no physical activity.

I've also had a couple of injuries recently, first I had a discomfort in my left arm which I had tests for and then I sprained my ankle. So now I'm resting but when I'm well I'll go back to the gym starting the first day with strength exercises all over the body and then adding more weight the following days and dividing the training by muscle groups.

The same with cardio. The first day back I'll do light cardio for half an hour to see how I feel, and over time I'll add more time or intensity, depending on the day, and some HIIT training.

In any case, congratulations on achieving your goals and continuing to increase your physical activity.

I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Since I want to be inclusive I invite Don Pedro to join the thread along with Og.

This is simple enough I have built my average of pushups to 100 a day and we did pass 100k price.

So this will be walk up  100 steps of stairs a day and of course back down the 100 steps. Total of 200 steps.

we do it until we reach 200k price.

and of course continue to do your pushups.

This is on  off topic for a good reason the spirit of compromise which if we do it correctly allows us to get in better shape.

Now for people with no steps to be found this could be harder for you.

I would say make a small platform and step 100 times and step down 100 times.

I have a six step then landing then a six step

it is 12 steps up and 12 steps down it would take 8 flights up and 8 flights down to add to 96 and I would simply do a few more to go to 100.



I will post here and in the pushup thread hoping that the combined effort pushes us past 200k by Dec 31 2025.

lets get in better shape and richer and make friend Og and Don Pedro

I am hitting the steps today.

at dirtykeyboard you do not have to script this. but it would be nice.




So at my bro-in-law’s. its a straight shot of 13 steps to climb up.

So 7 x up is 91 7x down is 91

then nine steps up  nine steps down (backwards for those nine for different muscle use)

I am almost 68 years old so today I did 110 pushups and climbed 100 steps up then down.

the pushups were

30
35
25
20

then drove to my bro-in-law 84 minels in 90 minutes very early today.

ate a ton of food.

then

100 steps up and down

will eat more food
do more steps
and then drive a longer time back home.


this will be a very full day for me.
