Rocking & Rolling: #NoMoreGirlyPushUps Link Up 2!
Good morning! How was your weekend? I had a lot of fun with a couple different groups of friends, but also got some great relaxation in (and a nice run!). I wanted to say thanks to you all for the helpful encouragement regarding my funk I wrote about on Friday. It was so nice to get all the support! I’m happy to report that I hit the gym hard on Friday night, and felt great afterwards. I do think that getting in that gym time has a LOT to do with me staying on a healthy schedule throughout my life, and I’m going to try to remember that – even on the weeks that I’m extra-busy (like last week!).
Today, it’s the second link-up for the No More “Girly” Push-Ups Challenge.
Like I said, gym time was at a minimum last week, but I did a couple days of the app. Doing an initial test at 20 push-ups, the app placed me at Level Three of it’s program. Working with the app, which gives you amounts of push-up sets to do (with rest in between), I’m at 50 push-ups! I didn’t think I could get up there that quickly, but I will admit, it’s fun to see results that high already. I wonder …
How many push-ups will I get to by the end?
I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know that I’m going to keep pushing myself. Maybe I’ll switch to inclined push-ups? Who knows?
Next up – the winner of the first link up, and some Pro Compression socks!
Congratulations to RunFastMama! Now, even if you didn’t link up last week, it’s not too late to start, so I’d encourage you to join in if you’ve been thinking about it, or hadn’t decided. Just start with the beginning of the program, and link up a tweet, Facebook, or blog post with your progress by next Monday!
The winner of this week’s link-up will receive a pair of SoxBox Socks – and we’ll have two winners! Just to clarify, after some confusion last week, make sure you first use the LinkyTools to link up your blog post, Tweet or Facebook, and THEN enter the Rafflecopter giveaway.
Be sure to visit our sponsors – they’re all great companies who’ve donated to this project!

I should really do this. I downloaded the app but never did my initial test. I do push-ups regularly but could most definitely use some improvement ( a lot of improvement). Count me in. I’ll do my test this morning at the gym. Have a great day!

Looooooooooooove the no more spaghetti arms image.
Keep up the great work with your pushups Alex! This is my 2nd go-round with the app. The first time it started me on level 2 and then demoted me to level 1 halfway through. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to be demoted in my entire life – lol!

Glad you like it! Thanks. Haha, I didn’t know you could get demoted! But I don’t know, it’s going to get hard when I get up to the high levels of push-ups – I think I’m going to get bored with it. Might have to switch to the inclines, or something!
