Tank Top Challenge!!
Hello all!
I want to welcome you to a new phase of fitness for me. I've discussed this here before and from Spring to Summer of this year. Summer has come and I didn't truly dedicate to improving my upper body strength. Well, this time, I've asked a special group of dear friends to help me along this time.

I will also be incorporating planks into this challenge.
I plan to plank for 30 seconds intervals between pushup sets. Progressing 30 seconds as the weeks increase. Week 2 - 60 seconds, Week 3 - 90 seconds, etc.
Example:
Week 1 - Day 1
Set 1 - 6 push-ups & 30 Second Plank
Set 2 - 6 push-ups & 30 Second Plank
Set 3 - 4 push-ups & 30 Second Plank
Set 4 - 4 push-ups & 30 Second Plank
Set 5 - as many as possible with correct form (at least 5) push-ups
I want to alternate push-up variations to have some diversity in my routine. We'll see how I progress from half "lady" pushups to standard "straight line" to (hopefully) diamond!! Wish me luck!!
I know that this doesn't mean I'll develop Angela Bassett arms (*green eyes)
overnight but I would like to carry 5 bags of groceries (cause I don't want to go back to the car again) a little easier, make lugging library books at my part time job easier, and finally win a play fight with my hubby! (I know y'all play fight, don't judge us!)
