Notes about this video:
1. I say press ups in the video (UK talk) - they are the same as push ups 😀
2. I appreciate the suggestions for how to improve my push ups.
Please bear in mind we did this because we wanted a challenge during lockdown. Something to break up the days.
Having recovery days throughout would have improved my max reps, but I was in this for the mental game as much as the physical. Like I mentioned in the video, this probably wasn't the best way, but it was a great challenge.
Thank you for all the supportive comments.
cute
Interesting fact: The American term “push-up” was first used between 1905 and 1910. The Brit term “press-up” first used in1945-1950. The exercise itself has been around for ages with evidence of ancient civilizations using similar movements to increase physical prowess for their tasks at hand. Whichever you call it, it sounds lovely with your accent! And of course, a rose by any other name smells just as sweet!
@@Thejoeordinary1 Loving the facts here Joe, thank you!
Great job girl. Keep it up. Tickle challenge next? Lol
@@Thejoeordinary1 it’s not “Brit”. It is “British”.
She's so refreshing to watch. Genuine, transparent and sincere.
I'm 60, I do 4 sets of 25 push-ups every morning for the past 2 years. In between sets I do 10 kettle-bell swings and 10 kettle-bell squats. I do this everyday and will continue for the rest of my life. I also workout about an hour and a half 3 to 4 days a week. Coupled with good nutrition and supplements I have epic energy and work and feel better. I recommend while you have momentum just continue on. It's amazing what it will do to change your life.
I'm 60 also and I do five minutes of planks every day along wit 100 pushups and my energy level is off the charts at times!
@@stephenurso9267 wow that's exactly what I do too😱 but I add 100 squats and 150 push ups
Thanks for replying Jeffrey because I didn’t know if I could push ups every day and take exercise classes too that have some arm workouts … but I will do it now
I am 67 and I will do 15 push-ups each day for 2 or 3 days, rest my muscles for 4 days and then resume or repeat the process all over again.
Excellent advice. I was extremely athletic. The worst thing I did was stop
So enjoyed the real-life aspect of struggle/growth!! Love the honesty; we all need more of that!!! Growth is a difficult self-measurement reality check, yet you maintained a clarity throughout the 30 day self challenge !!
Love your honesty. The overall total is still hugely impressive despite the disappointment. There are so many videos of people getting ripped. This was actually way more inspiring. I'm pushing 60 and really tempted to give the challenge a go.
Right on, Laura - good on you finding a fun way to keep yourself challenged and focused.
OMG, GMB Fitness have commented on this vid 😲 😍
You've made my day! Thank you!
I'm doing a splits challenge now and using the GMB flexibility approach.
@@LauraTryUK hahaha, I was so happy to see you pop up on my YT homepage :) Keep up the good work, Laura!
"Bingo wings?" Bwahahahaaa!!!
thank you for being so honest. this was an act of self love and increasing discipline FOR you! so many wins. going beyond what I thought I could manage is always a cause for celebration!
The honesty is great.!
Truly helps.
Love the honesty. Great effort. Inspiring.
You made super core gains, which is awesome! Well done! That's a great thing to take away from this, because many people only think of push-ups as an arm/chest exercise, forgetting how good they are for core strength as well.
Such a brilliant video! I love the fact youtube shows us ordinary people doing very averagely at exercise, as well as super-fit people doing brilliantly. Both are inspirational, because most of us are never going to look like fitness instructors, but we still give it a go and muddle on through.
Thank you for this lovely comment Philip 🙏🏼
You seem genuine, honest, real, and positive. Hard to find that these days.
really good video! i love how it shows that its really hard to improve and that there are no shortcuts in getting better.
I'm pleased you liked it Chucky 👊
„This is real life.“ Absolutely! Thanks for sharing your experience.
🤪 you're so welcome. Thank you for commenting 🙏🏼
Im so glad you showed up in my suggested feed! Loving your pursuit of wellness.
Hey Lisa, this is such a lovely comment, thank you!
Thank you for following along 🙏🏼
Great job, I've been doing 50-100 push-ups 4 days a week this year and it really helps me keep a decent level of fitness. Of course that's not all I do but it is the minimum amount of workout I do.
Sam's advice is spot on. I'm not consistent with my press ups but I'll typically do 40-65 in one set each day. When I do it daily and try to improve on my max it leads to improvements over time. My personal best is about 80.
You need shorter series if you want muscles.
@@dididubalier2196 not necessarily, as long as the muscle is being put under stress and is given enough recovery time
Well done Laura!!
Not only are you real, you're determined. Success is knowing failure. Beautifully done!!
You have probably one of the best push up forms I've seen. Keep up the good work
Wow! What a comment! Thank you! 👊
so glad you posted honest results. thank you xxx
Your pushups has already improved on the first 7 days visibly. Great work!
You are very inspiring! Thank you for this video ❤️
You are so kind, thank you 🙏🏼
I dont understand why people dislike these videos , u are soooooo beautifull and inspiring i just dont get. I discovered u a week ago and u are AMAZING! Thank you!
What a nice thing to say, thank you.
You know, I do wonder the same thing myself but perhaps I am just not those people's vibe.
Thanks for following along 👊
i love how honest you are in your videos! I'm 27 now and if 38 looks like you, I cant wait!! keep it up!
Thank you for honest reporting. I'm looking for more tone and maybe strength so I think I will add press-ups to my daily routine. You inspired me!
Increase the propriate amount of protein (Grass fed whey and salmon)? Fish fats to inhibit inflammation, for the structure of the brain and for lungs and heart stroke volume? For test: boron, zinc, vit c, BCAAs. For growth hormone vit C, potassium, pantothenic acid, leucine and phosphatidyl choline. Did she increase propriate amount of anti oxidants? 1/8th tsp of salt for muscle pump. Muscles take 7 to 9 days to completely recover. Ones' biggest burst of growth hormone is the first 45 minutes of sleep. Bedtime, nap and workout is possibility for three hits of growth hormone if you had the nutrients for test and growth hormone....
oooh love your channel! Love channels where people have the willpower to do these experiments!
Hey Jone, thank you so much for your comment, I am so pleased you like my channel!
Totally agree. Same here
It seems you did a great job; the improvement in your form is beyond noticeable. And this video is very encourgaing. thank you.
Thank you so much, you are so welcome 🙏🏼
You are amazing. Its ok to not fully reach the target. This is not just about goal, this is consistency.
I love the integrity of this work.
You have impeccable form! Very inspiring video. Well done!
Dont stop, ever! The body is our vehicle.
💪 👊 👍
Bad idea.
This was very instructive. Into my 60's I could do 60 pushups, but quit in my 70's, and at 72 struggle with only a few. I have become aware of the long rest cycles needed for recovery at my age and am inproving, but very slowly. This was very helpful.

And at age 73, blocking chronic inflammation is critical: Curcumin, EGCG, borage oil, ginger, NAC - the cysteine form of NAC, and a tsp of grinded cloves!!
As new/first time mom, I've been working on figuring out how best to increase my upper body strength and videos like this are highly inspiring! I enjoy lower body/core work the most, but have goals for my upper body strength. I love hearing the real experiences from other home fitness folks, espcially other women. Thank you!
Hey Noelle, I am pleased you found this video helpful. It may have not been the best approach but I gained a lot from it.
And also love reading comments like yours, so thank you.
Congrats for the challenge and for the positive vibrations that emanate from your smile.
This is such a lovely comment, thank you Mario 🙏🏼
I'm doing 10 push ups on the edge of the counter. Trying to increase throughout July. The key here is that I've got out of shape doing none, so if I can stop the downhill motion, I'll be happy. I'll report in. Did I say, I'm 82?
Wow..
God bless u.
Keep up the good work. People like u r the ones who give us motivation to never give up exercise.
LOOOOOVVVVE THIS!!!!!! Please keep us posted on your progress!
82 and still going strong! Love it
Very nice!
thats how I started, then later I could do 50 in a go on the floor, I started the same wy, I cldnt even do one, but yeah i started on edge of counter, nice
Love the honesty. Fascinating experiment.
I'm on day 18 of doing 10 a day. Yeah that's not so much but it's definitely more than I used to do, which was 0. Yes, 0 body workout earlier.
It's the consistency and endurance that I find building up with the personal discipline to go with that routine. Yours was actually more than I'm doing so big props for your success!
You give me the inspiration to do it. 100 a day seems insurmountable for me at this point. I think I can handle 10 a day and that’s a whole lot better than none. Thanks for your motivating comment.
Yeah, I won't be able to do 100 a day. Having a very weak right shoulder after an extensive back surgery 30 years ago. But 10 reps a day will definetely be doable.
How many can you do now?
@@nickfanzo still 10 a day and just being consistent with it as much as possible.
Thank you Laura for sharing this info! It is very motivational and some of what you encountered helps the rest of us on our future path toward fitness. You really took one for the team, and by your example and your tenacity, we can learn from your experiment. Great job to you and Ben!
Award goes to you for the nice comment 🏆
Thank you 🙏🏼
I've been doing this every other day for a year now. 100 to 150 every other day. I personally don't see a massive difference but everyone around me has noticed a big difference. They ask ..." what are you doing? Why you look in shape?" I say pushups, keep doing them till you can't do them , give yourself a day off to recover and do it again the following day. Rest is a must or you will get injured, shoulder, elbows, wrist...just be careful. I'm 49
Do you do them in sets of 20 or 30? Do you do the 100 to 150 over, an hour or the whole day?
@@paddybee7852 Listen to your body. If you can do 20 without fatiguing for the first set, then set with that with 1 minute rest for each set. After some time, you can increase your max rep or decrease the rest time and increase the overall pushups you do.
I do the same but only started in the last few months. To failure each time, a few times a day will increase your max reps quickly and also build muscle too- assuming you're eating the right food! I've packed on muscle in my arms, shoulders, back and chest just from press-ups. (Age 47)
You need to move onto bench press now for more resistance.
Try doing the pushups much slower. Going both down and up at a much slower pace. You'll probably find this harder and will grow more.
Good on ya for doing the video, nice to see a realistic outcome.
Thanks for sharing the real results. It´s really important for people who are struggling to improve their shape. Really good video, thanks Laura!!
Thank you Laura as a lady in her 40s I really appreciate your videos. Watching the young uns do fitness and trying to replicate it seems unreachable. Watching you.... Inspires me and let's me know we can do it 💪
Hey Ria, what a great comment, thank you so much.
Absolutely, we've just got to go for it 💪
Just move a bit each day..pushups, sit ups, jumping jacks
Kudos and motivational at any rate!
I like Laura's form better than Ben's. Also love the food shots too. Know the feeling of trying to do my exercises at the end of the day, "horrible" is right, love your determination to try to complete all your sets and then when not making the last 3 days, to be accountable and pushing to your limit at the end, amazing! Did not know about "progressive overload". Thanks for keeping it real. You may have not completed the challenge 100% but in the end you did complete about 95% of what you set out to do, you learned a lot, you are fitter.
Hello Donnie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Mega video! One of your best yet I reckon!
Cheers dude. I had a different workflow with this one. Got majorly stuck yesterday then it all came together today.
Some guy also suggested to me to make shorter videos..... so I tried it with this one 😉
I was SO happy when I saw you doing proper form pushups
What an informative video, thanks!
Laura- You're INSPIRATIONAL because you stuck with it.....and as I've always felt with exercise: you can go for the mirror results, or you can go for the mental results: the GRIT you gain by having the will-power, dedication, drive, and courage- to TRY it and SHOW it. You did GREAT!
Hey Tommy, thank you so much for this comment. I really appreciate it. Most of why I do these challenges is the mental side of it so thank you for recognising that 👊
Doing push-ups at home for a month doesn't take grit or courage what are you on about 🤣 clown
Well done Laura. To the max as ever. I look forward to your next challenge and hope it takes less than a month to complete. X
Cheers Bob.
To the max 🥔 😉
You’re amazing!
You look great. Your efforts are appreciated!!
She is so down to earth, realistic but still very inspiring. Probably she is this inspiring because she is so real. And her mum is cool as well! 🤣👍🏼 Greetings ladies.
Fantastic effort Laura.
I admire you’re discipline and dedication throughout this 30 day challenge. Well done mate 💪
Thanks Jason 👊
Except she wasn't disciplined at all 🤣 missed days and reps it's only a month
Great video - well done on the challenge.
This video was so refreshing and motivating. Thank you 🙏🏿
LT this is a great challenge and video! Love it!
Thanks so much chick!
Total respect!,
Great work guys!
Thanks, Laura. Another great video and challenge with honest outcomes. I'm always a bit wary of these 30-day challenges, especially as I'm now in my mid-50s and need that recovery time more than I used to. So, it's always good to see someone else doing them and reporting back, so I don't have to! Keep up the great work with the channel and your efforts to inform and inspire us. All you need to work on now is showing Ben how to shoot landscape mode video for TH-cam! ;-)
Your channel is so enjoyable to watch! Can't believe you don't have more views and subscribers - such a refreshing channel! The result is not surprising - 100 press-ups daily without recovery time is overtraining and undermining the goal of doing more press-ups without stopping. Adequate rest is crucial to successfully building muscle size and strength. Usually every other day training the same muscles is adequate rest and brings positive results. A general rule of thumb is if the muscles are sore, don't do strength training of those muscles until they are not sore (stretching and light movement is good). For women this is especially key due to hormones and cortisol levels changing with aging. Also, increased reps in a set over time is necessary as the body adapts. So, you trained yourself to do 10 press-ups at a time and the result is you can now easily do 10 press-ups at a time with much better form than at the start. What you didn't train for was to increase your maximum reps. 😅 To increase your max reps, either add weight, add difficulty (e.g., elevate the feet, do Seal push-ups, etc.), or increase the reps by 1 or 2 each time you train. Another tip for getting more reps with less effort, if that's the goal rather than increasing strength - position your arms at a 45' angle from your body instead of so close, and go at a faster speed.
Hey, thanks for the tips, I appreciate it 💪
Really interesting video and result. Ever since my early teens, press ups have been a staple of my fitness regime (if you can call it that). Even during times when I didn't have a regime, I still did press ups. I find that they're one of the best compound exercises given they can work chest, shoulders, core, triceps, etc. A lot depends on the position and placement of the arms and palms - you can target different areas. But great video, Laura, loving the content, the honest appraisal and down to earth approach.
This was LOVELY, SUPER Motivational!!! This is real and THAT my dear is what is so inspiring.
I enjoyed this so much. Even though the results were unexpected you certainly went through a transformation.
Laura, thank you for doing REAL pushups. Too many women (even trainers), just flare their elbows out, go halfway down, then call it a push-up.
Thank you for the nice comment 👊
100% agree. Immaculate form she uses.
@@akin1989 this was good form n the 1920s. now we know the pecs can be involved also. put the elbows out.
women aren't built the same way men are...m'k
This is a great challenge. If part of the goal is to increase the total max amount per sitting, you need to increase you amount for the first rep each day but still not exceeding 100 for the daily total. Starting with 10 reps for 10 sets will quickly turning into 20 for 5 sets, than 50 resp for 2 sets etc. At 58 years old, I do 100 reps, and 100 sit ups twice a day.
Wow...
Keep up the good work.
God bless u.
Good on you Laura.Your form is to be commended
Congrats to this achievement. Very good and honest video!
An honest exercise video - very refreshing!
Thanks Greg. I appreciate this 🙌🏼
You did great, I really wanted to see the after profile. I can see you’re arms are more toned. I bet you look great. Your glowing and you look vibrant.
Keep pushing hard lady !!!
An inspiration to me…thank you for posting your experience for people to learn from
I hope you’ve kept up with it! I’ve got 10 years on you and I still do my press ups nightly, with weekends off. I find doing them before bed helps burn more calories while sleeping and also gives the body over night to recover. I find that doing about 80% of your max reps nightly works well for me, so I do about 60 in one set usually. Gradually add a few press ups to your regimen and you’ll find that your body will adapt and ask for more!
Great stuff! I hadn't realised that you spread them out through the day! Great idea. I've followed the Wm Hof method doing breath work before the press ups. My best is 45 in 1 go after the breathing exercise. My usual is around 40. Been trying to hit 65 for my 65th birthday, but doesn't look like I'll get there. But I will if I split them through the day. Yes! Thank you.
Just found your videos; you inspire more people than you can imagine.........Take good care!
Thank you for this video.
When I was in the Army, i had a program I used to increase my max pushups for a 2 min test. Topped out at around 60 in 2 minutes. You need 3-4 training days a week with rest in between, variations of pushups in 3 sets to increase the strength of surrounding assisting muscles (shoulder and triceps and lats in addition to pectorals), wide arm push up, close in (like you do for your baseline pushup) then the regular width push up.
You weak asf I maxed out at 96 push ups in 2 minutes, 104 sit ups, 13:10, 2 mile run! 300!! Yea boi
Doing the challenge and it’s been 20 days… going strong 💪🏼
Really liked this honest video. Nice one. We're only human. 👌🏼
Wow, you are awesome! 🎉🎉🎉
When I joined the Army, I couldn’t even do one proper push-up. I did 10-20 elevated (kitchen counter) every time I went into the kitchen. When that became easy, I moved lower-a table. Then I moved to a chair seat then a coffee table and finally the floor. Within two months, I could do 20 proper push-ups on the floor and could build up from there.
I love this!
Your experience has helped to start doing something that was too hard
Wow, i gonna try it that way.
@@LauraTryUK Try doing proper push up's next time.
@@marki61422 this is how (currently) fitness instructors recommend to do push ups. It's supposed to keep people from damaging their shoulders.
I do prefer the old way, as that's what I'm used to. I actually tend to hurt my shoulders more with close hands than normal.
Real life indeed! Well done Laura. Subscribed 🤛🏽
Thanks for the sub Eric, I appreciate it 👊
Well done, great content!
I LOVE this. You are amazing
I'm so pleased you liked it, thank you! 🙏🏼
Great video. Even though it wasn't the result you wanted, it's definitely instructive.
*I do yoga every day, from strength exercises I do push-ups or pull-ups! Thanks for sharing! Have a nice day!*
I live your attitude about your failure to adapt and your reflection on what the best method would have been to achieve your goal.
good on ya making an effort is the first step .....good luck...
Really good motivation and I appreciate how you were doing full-range of motion for your pushups. Gold star! Ben, on the other hand, needs to drop that chedt to the floor for each rep. Good for the joints and that is the true range for that exercise. The function of being able to push yourself up off of the floor. Very practical exercise.
Still, kudos for putting in some effort every day, Ben.
Don't do push ups every day. Give yourself a day's rest so that you're stronger.
I do push ups every day but only 10 , just to keep the habit
I love this!! And also I love how she talks to the camera and edits the video
you are so real.... I'm looking forward to being a friend that witnesses your life❤
The real improvement came in the amount of recovery time you needed between sets. That’s still a big win. Nice job.
Hey Leo, yes. After thinking about the challenge, the days where I did the 100 push ups in the morning and had the afternoon to rest were the good days.
Woman, 1.2 kg of muscle gain in 30 days is a huge win!!
ah, yes, now you put it like that, that is pretty cool. How did I not realise 😂
I think I was expecting more muscle gain in my arms.
I was pretty chuffed with the core gains though - and then went on to do a pilates challenge which added to it.
@@LauraTryUK d
I love when you call your specialist friends!
This is so motivating!! You did great!!! :D
LOVE THIS! Refreshing to hear how this challenge improved your daily habits. Thank you for sharing your experience, very inspiring!
All women's should be do THAT❗❗❗🎯
I know what went wrong: do 100 push-ups every alternate day. I day rest restores your muscles and that helps big time to increase number of reps you do in one go
In one set is also crucial.
The key to making gains, is you have to push to failure to ensure you have micro tears in your muscles, and then allow time for recovery. It's during the recovery that muscles grow, but only if they actually needed to recover to begin with.
I would even suggest giving yourself 48 hours to rest, and to do those 100 reps in the same session. Even if splitting them into 10 sets of 10 reps. But doing throughout the days interferes badly with your recovery, only exhausting yourself and sabotaging your gains.
I've been doing them since I was 17 or 18 your body needs time to for rest and repair itself, you don't need to do them 7 days a week give your body a rest you'll find you're doing more otherwise it's a chore.
Yes, it's important to note- when you exercise you are not building muscle at that time. You are literally destroying the muscle with micro-tears. With good nutrition and rest the muscles then rebuild (hopefully to a stronger level). But without adequate rest your results are limited and it's possible to get poor results if any. Your age will affect how much rest you need. The younger you are the less rest that is required to restore the muscles. At her age she would have done well with 2 days rest - doing the press ups every third day. In that scenario I have no doubt she would have had better gains.
Congrats on the challenge and a great video
Liked and subscribed for honest journaling!
You inspired me Laura, thanx
Thank you Yusef!
