It is now August, which means yesterday was the last day of the WWP Push-up Challenge. I met the push-up goal of 1776, however, not the monetary goal set by WWP. They do have fundraisers throughout the year, so money can still be given to this group.
I’m sure if I posted videos of my pushups, people would easily be able to pick them apart and explain all the many aspects that are not proper about my pushups. I know my arms are positioned too wide, but that makes them easier to do. So I do the bulk of them this way. I know my hands are not positioned directly under my chest, I haven’t built up the strength to do more than a few with “proper form.” Adaptive movements, keeping safety in mind, are okay with me. And I am getting stronger.
After a challenge like this, I think it is good to take a breather and look back at what you’ve accomplished. In addition, it’s good to take this time to reflect on what you’ve learned, what you could have done better and how you have improved since the beginning.
I have an idea that has been percolating over the past couple of days. I’m working on a 40-day program. As of this moment, it is still untitled (as is my novel 😄). All of the elements, likewise, are undecided at the moment. But I will let you know the title and start date once I’ve worked out the details.
Do you participate in any annual challenges? Share your challenge experiences and let me know why you do or do not like participating in challenges.
Remember to stay…
