You knew this was coming, so let’s get this done. On the final day of our Push-ups + Poems Challenge:
100 perfect push-ups, for time.
Strategize the size of your sets for your best overall time. Whether it takes you 5 minutes or 5 hours to do all 100, do them perfectly: straight plank, all the way down, all the way up.
And for our last poem, we get Staceyann Chin. You can hit play on her spoken word performance of If Only Out of Vanity and start your push-ups alongside (it’s a little over 3 minutes). I

Yes! Staceyann is the shiznit! Wish I’d watched her BEFORE I did my push ups for some mo’ fiiiiiire! Did these bad boys in 5 sets of 20 (with short breaks)…and sets 3-5 were faster than 1 &2. 😉 Done in 2:42 all together.

Sunday was a work and chore day for me, so I didn’t do the pushups all together, and also didn’t get them all done, but I’m posting anyway. I ended up just doing sets of 5 throughout the day in various places as I had a chance. Got 15 done while I was cooking lunch, did some in the yard while I was working in the garden. I think I got up to 60, which isn’t 100, but I did them all in full plank position so I’m proud of that!
Also loved listening to Staceyann Chin! Thank you for all the poems in May. ❤
