Hitting the ground 490 times in 7 Days | Shape Yourself!steemCreated with Sketch.

This is no motivational post about how you should allow yourself to fail and get up back again and again. There are enough pieces of work floating around here.

This post is rather both egocentric and hopefully inspirational.

A recap of my first 7 Days of the 30 Day Push up Challenge.

With some acrobatics in between.

For a total of 30 Days

After surviving the first hell days of the push-up challenge things developed pretty fast.

Having been strained from a previous shoulder and chest workout with Mr. muscle at the German Gym and thus resulting sore muscles even the 1. Push up of the 1. Set of the 1. Day was bringing me to tears.

This condition lastet until day 3. The end of the hell days.

From then on I could feel and see my bizeps rise in size and even the muscles hidden deep below my enormous belly welcomed me with a little hello.

Those 7 Days have passed in the blink of an eye and I cannot expect the days yet to follow having in mind the end result .

Me, just a little bit more in shape.

Until then! Thank you for Being!

Nice job man, it's good to see people taking care of themselves. Went through your page, and I find it really interesting. Gave you a follow, and I hope there's a pull-up challenge coming soon!

Thank you my new friend.

A pull-up challenge? Seriously? That would be a hell of a challenge! When I tried last time I barely was able to do 1 pull-up.

But maybe that's the indicator that this challenge is the right one to be next.

I'll keep you updated!

Woo! I like it so much.

Thanks man. How is your push-up game going?

Nice work! What do you think your max reps are at present?

Which part of the workout do reps represent? I'm not fluent in fitness. Up until right now 19:30 China time I should have 73 Sets and 511 push ups in total.

ahh sorry. Just the total you could do in one go.

I think the most i've ever done is 50, would be lucky to hit 20 now!

7, 7 are good. maybe 10 :D

50 may come next year or for Christmas, oh wait... don't I mean 20? Let's see.

But my push-up game is improving! Wanna join the challenge?

I should join, I've been very lazy! What do I need to do?

Take your lovely partner, get both down to the floor, push yourselves up, and repeat that 7 times. Give each other a high-five after finishing and repeat mentioned before 10 times over the course of one day.

Force someone to send me a photo of you doing push-ups and send it to me so I can feature you in an upcoming post. Enjoy

Ni hao bro m on same journey 100 pushups daily for 30 days

Oh great! I hope I inspired you for that ;)
Remember to leave me a pic of you doing a push-up so I can include you in a future post!
Namaste
