One hundred push-ups challenge -- Going strong into Week 3

Fitness

I've completed the first two weeks of my hundred push-ups challenge, and I'm happy to say that I'm still going strong. It's a challenge, to be sure, but it's really broken down into manageable sets and I haven't had any problems yet.

As I mentioned before, my husband is joining me in the challenge, and together we have faced a few location-based challenges (as you can see in the picture). After our vast two weeks of experience, I'd have to recommend that, if you have dogs or children, you take turns with the push-ups and keep them out of the way. Unless, of course, you like the extra challenge of 60 extra pounds on your back ...

Before beginning Week Three, I had to complete another exhaustion test, and I'm pleased to report that I was able to complete over 50 push-ups in a row, so I'm (sort of) half-way there (which is a good thing, because this week looks haaaard). Those of you doing the challenge, speak up -- how are you coming along?

Frugal fitness: work out at home

Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness

Forget expensive gym memberships, fancy equipment, and pricey workout clothes -- here's a home workout that won't cost you a dime. With equipment that nearly every home has (bathtub, kitchen chair, masking tape), it's both cheap and easy to assemble this home gym.

Not only that, this workout looks surprisingly efficient. Combining bursts of aerobic activity like stair climbing and jumping in place with muscle-building strength training moves, this 10-minute workout (20 if you do it twice) appears to have it all. If you're short on time, light on cash, or just don't feel like leaving the house...give it a try!
