    I got my 50 in today in the following manner: 20, then do something else. 10, then do something else. 10, then do something else. 10. The "something else" was a combination of breakfast prep and squats. I'd been doing 30 push-ups 3 days each week for 3 months and had recently increased that to 40 push-ups those 3 days. Increasing to 50 on Day 1 was not difficult as it followed a weekend of rest. We'll see how I handle trying to do this every day.

    This was the first time I'd tried 20 at once. It went well. Next week I'll attempt 30 in the first group.

    Day 2 of Challenge has been met. This time, in the manner of 1 set of 20, something else, 1 set of 20, something else, 1 set of 10. This time the "something else was 100 squats swinging a 15lb kettlebell between my legs, and breakfast prep.

    That kettlebell swinging activated muscles all over my torso, top to bottom and front to back. I'm good sore all over.

    Starting this a little late. Thank you @JeromeBarry1 for the link to this challenge.

    Today is my Day 1 I guess. I followed Jerome's lead and did 2 sets of 20 push-ups then another 10 for a daily total of 50. I"m used to doing 3 sets of 15 so doing 2 sets of 20 was a nice challenge. Took 30 second rest between each set. Now that I understand better the challenge I will do more tomorrow. These were simple full-body push-ups on the floor.

    Monthly total: 50

    I do 30 every 2 days.. so I actually need to do it everyday if I want to hit 1500. Doesn't sound too bad.
    I suppose I will start counting today, so day 1: 30/1500
