Our Thursday challenge is pushups…AND squats. Because peanut butter and jelly. Bert and Ernie. Han Solo and Chewbacca. Thelma and Louise. Kid & Play. Bonny and Clyde. Dolce & Gabbana. mini vanilli.
Some things just go better together. Putting aside your romantic partners past and present, what’s a great duo you’ve been half of? Think on this as you do 8 pushups followed by 10 squats. Think on it some more as you do that again, five more times, for a total of 6 sets. Do this all at once, straight through (right now is a great time to do it…go!), or break it up into two equal parts of 3 sets now, 3 sets later.
And remember that what makes a great duo is both halves being a little bit more awesome together than they are by themselves. To wit, Hall and Oates. So rather than being a distraction, let your squats make your pushups even more amazing. And vice versa.
Share with us in the comments when you’re done, and if you’d like, a bit about your great duo and what make it click.

Oh, yes, I did. But because my squats are pretty minimal, I added 100 situps.

Done as a duet with my best friend. Did them straight thru partner style & motivated each other to do all the push-ups on our toes! Then I made lunch & she helped me haul some stuff to the recycling center and we just hung out and talked about life & stuff because besties are the best.

Done, but due to traveling today I had to do them in two sets. Other great pairs: turqouise cuff links and bolo ties, ascots and cigars, tie bars and skinny ties.

My will to be stronger and happier overrode my desire to take a nap before work! lol Pain IS weakness leaving the body! (in my case…) Did it with only 1 or 2 pauses.

y’all are the best! Done. Four sets was the max I could do at first, but added 12 lbs to my squats and went to diamond push-ups for my last two sets.

Oops! I sent my last message to the group when it should have gone to Glo! Well, no matter. She gave some great advice to our team on how to do our challenge for today and I was telling her how great it was. I completed my challenge for today; but with a little twist. I am still not able to do my push ups from the floor but I am getting closer. Today I did them from the rim of the bathtub,which is as closest to the floor that I have gone so far.

Late to post, but swear I did ’em late last night before going to bed! Counter push ups (because I was tired), full squats, no breaks.
