Legit badass!

How long does it take on average for women to achieve a one-arm pushup?

[@Coachkarensmith]

It depends on their (baseline) starting point with two handed pushups prior to beginning to train a one arm version. However at the SFB certification we allow 6 months of training prior to submitting the video to pass this strength requirement.

Karen Smith Thanks for the reply, Karen. I'm planning on taking the SFB Course as soon as it's offered in my area. I would then practice for 6-12 months before considering the certification.
