Had to have a rest day but back on it! Having to do knee press ups as my poor arms can’t take the strain just yet!Day 2 - Tough!
Got up this morning to very tight arms! Had to do most of my push ups from my knees today, so did a few extra to compensate. Also incorporated some squats to spread them out a bit!Day 1 - The journey begins
I completed my first 100 press ups in small instalments - 20, 20, 10. Then, after 10 minutes, I did 5 x 10 press ups.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.
Good luck!
