Spoiler alert!! I had a bit of problem counting by 10's during this Push Up Fitness Challenge and kind of short changed myself. Perhaps my 1000 calorie per day weight cut is effecting brain function a bit ;)

Anyways, it is what it is and the point of this video is to take part in this fitness challenge and see how well you can do. Even with a few less reps than I should have done, I think I performed pretty well. I may even try a do-over next week if I feel the urge to do another 200 or so pushups...

One interesting note is the fact that I actually burned 1 calorie per pushup performed during this push-up challenge, so 190 calories in all. I generally let my Garmin HRM run until my heart rate comes down to around 120 beats per minute to offset the fact that I start out most exercises with my heart rate lower.
