Training Thursday: Lent push up challenge

Most people give something up for Lent (refined sugar, coffee, chocolate, TV) but this year I challenge you to add a push up every day! The first week will be easy, but as the 40 days accumulate, so do your push ups. If you miss a day, perform all of the previous day's push ups AND the current day's push ups.

Technically Lent started yesterday, so today you need to perform 1 push up for yesterday, and 2 push ups for today. Tomorrow will be 3 push ups, the day after will be 4, and so on for the next 40 days.

Make sure each repitition is done well. Once we get up to the bigger numbers (10+) feel free to break the total up into smaller, more managable sets. Perfect form EVERY time, even if it means it takes you a little longer :)
