Link roundup: 100 Pushups Edition
June 23rd, 2008 | by mbhunter |A big thank-you to Karen Datko of Smart Spending on MSN MoneyCentral for including my post on ways that being fat costs money. She also featured my new blog, Deflabbify, in that post, and over there I committed to take the 100 Pushup Challenge along with some blogging friends like Jim, NCN, Flexo, JD, Nickel, and Lazy Man, because after all, pain loves company. 
Here are some links of interest from the MBN and other blogs in my reader:
- Wise Bread posts on the ultimate green workout: exercise and gardening.
- All Financial Matters talks about increasing your risk tolerance. Educated risk-taking is a wise thing to do once in a while.

- Free Money Finance reports that packages are shrinking but prices are staying the same. (And with Moosetracks as a sponsor, he should know. )
- Get Rich Slowly muses on credit cards for cats and for first-graders. Nothing like starting early — or in a different genus!
- No Credit Needed talks about life without credit cards, and is getting famouser and famouser by the minute as he does.
- Digerati Life has advice on finding the best jobs to ride out a recession.
- Generation X Finance debates the merits of exchange-traded funds and mutual funds.
- Money Smart Life kicked off a series on how to sell your own home.

Thanks to The Simple Dollar for including my gas guzzler backfire post in his June 18th roundup!
Have a great week!

Great roundup! Thanks for the mention. I’m working up to the pushup challenge as well–should be good therapy for my recovering shoulder (had rotator cuff surgery last year).

I think I just recovered enough (after 4 days) to reattempt the week 1 day 1 routine. I didn’t realize how out of shape I got.
Good luck with your deflabbification process.
