Excellent workout programs for ALL levels!
By Brett E. Stewart
I commend this book to ANYONE who wants to get in the best shape of their lives. The book is so basically sound that it puts any other bodyweight workout book to shame. The plan is brilliant: Take a “test” to see how numerous pushups you may do with proper form and then use that number to find the PERFECT workout to get you to 100! The workouts are very well balanced and don’t feel like a chore to do.
I read the book and took the challenge gravely and was capable to crank out 100 successive pushups just when the book said I should! On my 48th day of the program I was competent to do 101 pushups and was so pleased to nail my goal.
I still follow the program even AFTER completing the “magic number” because pushups are such a great exercise for your core, arms & chest! There are so a great deal of variations that you may learn to keep your workouts interesting & fun.
Challenge yourself & get this book!

No more excuses
By Brandon Wood
I firstborn came to recognise of the author, Steve Speirs, independent of his book, and the introductory thing that must be said above all else, is that Steve has consecrated his life to helping others get enjoyment from the fitness and health that he himself enjoys.

I myself and a swimmer/cyclist/runner/triathlete/singer/website creator/podcast host, and in keeping up with these activenesses on top of living as normal a life as possible, I am rather many times hard pressed for the time I need to do smaller, stabilizing workouts. I will have to also say that, having somewhat of a background in lifting, and therefore having rather a bit of muscle mass, in order to make myself a better endurance athlete, I necessitated to abandon weight training and become more lean while still sustaining the strength necessary for the myriad event in which I participate.

When I firstborn started out using “7 Weeks..” I forgot for a while that I was supposed to put down the book and put into exercise the proficiencies within. The book is such an easy and informative read, I felt like I was gleaning just as much psychological result of perception learning and reasoning merely from reading in regards to the vantages and dissimilar methods of “push-up-ology” (my word, I don’t want to put such language on the author!) that I was getting a workout sitting and reading! Of course, that not being the case, I had to undertake the program for myself.

I begun in one of the “advanced” programs set forth by the book, which was based on how a lot of push-ups I could do prior to beginning the program (I believe I did 50 before crapping out). Without going into the minutiae of my personal traveling (after all you need to read the book to see for yourself), let me say that the most difficult part of obtaining the goal of reaching 100 push-ups in 7 weeks was stopping at the numbers given by the book! It was so fabulously simple to perceive and follow that I genuinely believe that even a lot of who claims to have no upper body strength would be competent to finish the programs (from beginner to advanced) with no problem at all.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention one of my favored parts of the book; the little snips of push-up trivia, scattered allround the pages. They give you a sense of not only how long push-ups have been around, but how they have had a positive affect for so long.

I can not commend this book enough. I think that any person, young or old, male or female would have a outstanding time reading and using the programs in “7 Weeks to 100 Push-ups” and would have a healthier, happier and better toned life for it.

This Book Is Exactly What it Says
By Blaine Moore
This short book is all when it comes to one thing and it makes no illusions regarding what that one thing is…so if you have no interest in integrating pushups into your workout plan, then this isn’t the book for you.

If you _are_ looking for an easy and cheap to utilize training plan to build up a lot of strength, then the plans contained in this book are great. Suitable for beginners just getting into strength training or for experienced lifters that just want to undertake something different, this book holds a schedule for you.

I’ve been following one of the schedules for a few weeks now after regarding a year off from any non-running workouts and I’m already starting to feel the gains of reintegrating strength training into my weekly life.

You may do them with feet elevated on a bench or chair to work dissimilar angles and you may even do them with your back arched high doing the push up motion at an angle rather than straight up and down – this is hard to explain without a picture but get yourself into pushup position and then walk your hands up closer to your feet while this raises your butt in the air. Lower yourself down tardily so that your torso moves somewhat forward at an angle. You will feel a heap of direct focus on your upper chest and delts giving your chest a more exhaustive workout.
