The Perfect Your Press Up Challenge
A 10-day progression for women over 40 who want to train properly.
If you can’t yet do a full press-up, that’s not a flaw.
It’s a training gap.
Let’s fix it.
You already know that full press ups are a brilliant midlife strength marker.
They require upper body strength, core control, joint stability and progressive overload.
However - most women don’t find them hard because they’re weak.
They find them hard because no-one has shown them how to build up to doing them.
This challenge will show you how, step-by-step, in a way that meets your body exactly where it is.
You’ll love this if…
• You care about staying strong long-term
• You’ve read the articles and know strength matters
• You can’t already do at least 8 full press ups
• You’re done with random workouts
• You want structure, not just good intentions
This is not about smashing yourself for 10 days.
It’s about understanding what proper progression actually looks like.
Here’s how it works
Over 2 weeks, you’ll receive:
• 10 mini, focused coaching videos delivered by email
• Clear daily steps to build your press-up
• Simple cues to improve strength and technique
• Accountability, personalised feedback and check-ins via a private Telegram group
No fluff.
No endless workouts.
No guesswork.
Just structured progression - THAT WORKS!
Why this matters in midlife
Upper body strength is strongly linked to long-term health outcomes.
But beyond the science, there’s something else.
Being able to lower yourself to the floor and push yourself back up under control?
That’s independence.
That’s resilience.
That’s a body that works.
“I’m only on day six and I’ve actually managed to do 4 ACTUAL press ups today! I’ve never been able to do press ups (not even one) so this is mega!”
(Feedback from our November Challenge)
Let’s be clear -
You may not be doing a perfect full press-up by Day 10.
That’s not the point.
By the end of this challenge, you will:
• Understand what a proper press-up requires
• Know exactly where your sticking point is
• Have a clear path to keep building
• Experience what intelligent strength coaching feels like
And that changes everything.
This is how I coach
The Perfect Your Press-Up Challenge is a small slice of how I train women inside Train with Carly.
Short, progressive sessions.
Clear structure.
No mid-zone muddling.
Many women use this challenge as a reset.
Some use it as their starting point.
And some realise they don’t want to go back to guessing afterwards and join my Membership.
