Most excellent, thank you! Remember I'm just trying to lose weight and live longer to enjoy my grandchildren, not be a beach adonis.
224.0 this morning so I'm past the orignal goal of 225. Going to work to 215 and see how I feel. Figure it will take 2-4 weeks to get and stabilize there.
It's the extreme cardio and calorie reduction that is helping now. First 20 lbs were much easier than the last 16. Been trying about 1000 calories a day on the diet and taking a one a day vitamin. It's not sustainable so figure it will take longer for the last 10 lbs.

Strict push up's should really work most of the body. Many do not have the body straight as a plank with their arms totally aligned. In strict form, they are not meant to crank out 100 or speed sets. 5 seconds per push up sounds about right.
Now that obviously have the great base, you can go towards perfection and form. You'd end up dialing it back to 25-35 Chaturanga's as I think that would equal 100 "American" push up's.
Here's a couple of links. I know you'll immediately feel a huge difference in pump for your chest, arms, and core, especially the core. It's a natural progression to end up here.
