We always start karate classes with "30-20-10" which means 30 jumping jacks, 20 crunches, and 10 pushups.

I hate pushups.

I mean, I really, really HATE pushups. Having my gall bladder out was a great excuse to drop them from my workout routine, and I've been awful about re-incorporating them back in. But I know they're important. A lot of karate requires a great deal of core strength, and pushups are great for that.

So I've decided to start the 100 Pushups Challenge on line. I did the beginning assessment, determined to do the tough type, on the toes, and I managed . . . 8 pushups. I blush to confess it. How damnably embarrassing.

Okay, okay. I accept the challenge. I will do the six week program and (hopefully) will be able to do 100 pushups when I'm done. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] jbru and [livejournal.com profile] minnehaha K. for pointing out the site and leading by example.

I had some pretty strong soreness after the first week and stopped and then never got back to doing them again. It's probably time to start again and make sure to take my arnica when I'm done!
