100 Push-Ups a Day in January 2025

Half way!

Half way through now, and into a good routine. Totally confident of finishing the month :-)

Today is officially Quitters’ Day

Today is the second Friday of January, and according to research, it is the day by which most people have given up on their New Year’s Resolutions.

But I am not giving up on the 100-day push ups challenge! The last couple of days have been much harder but I've made it through them and know I can keep going on to the end :-)

Day 9 Update

Yesterday was the hardest yet. Quite a struggle to finish, and then this morning I was so sore I thought I might have to skip a day. But after lunch I was ok again and am taking it easier today with just 10 at a time and looser form.

Day 8

Yesterday was really hard for some reason, and I managed to finish just before midnight. 

End of day 6

Day 6 finished and I've now started occasionally doing 20 at a time instead of 10 or 15.

Day 4

I'm in a good regular routine with this now and very confident of getting through the whole month :-)

Day 3 completed

And feeling like I could do more :-)

Day 3

A bit more sore today and finding it harder so back to 10 at a time, but also increasingly confident that I can stick with it to the end!

Day 2 completed

It felt harder than day 1 for a while but was ok in the end. I'm fairly confident of being able to do this now :-)

Day 2 update

Feeling a little bit sore, but also stronger already and doing 15 at a time now instead of 10! 

First day done!

First day completed now. The last 10 were hard! Tomorrow will be the real test of whether I can stick with this...

First day

I'm starting with trying 10 every hour through the day. A late start today but first 10 done :-)

Starting tomorrow!

This isn’t going to be easy…

I’m doing 100 push-ups a day in January for GOSH Charity! 

I’m challenging myself to do 100 push-ups a day this January to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.

That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every push-up I do, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
