December Pushup and Sit-Up Challenge

in Challenges
Inspired by the 100,000 pushups in 2018 thread, last month I set a goal of 5,000 pushups for myself. I finished that goal on the very last day of October. My long-term goal is to complete 100K-125K pushups in 2019.

So this month, my goal is 10,000 pushups.

My sit-up goal will be 5,000 for the month of December with a 2019 goal of 75,000.

So to divide this up evenly between all the days of month, I will need to perform:

323 Pushups/day
162 Sit-Ups/day

Seems like a doable challenge. I welcome anyone else that would like to join, feel free to set your own goals and track your progress here.


Good Luck Everyone!

Just for some extra math for everyone who is wondering

to get 100,000 pushups in a year, an average of 274 per day would complete the challenge.
to get 125,000 pushups in a year, an average of 342 per day would complete the challenge.

    Omg

    5000 & 10,000 push ups, Seriously?

    I think 300 would be a huge challenge
    November I started
    Day 1 I managed 3 on my knees
    Day 2 5 on my knees
    Then I did a full one down then switched to knees, cut a long story short by the end of November I could do 7 push ups.

    My December challenge to get to 10 but also to aim at 300
    1 Dec 7
    2 Dec 7
    3 Dec 8
    4 Dec 9

    Broke my finger yesterday :neutral: Tried to do some pushups this morning and it was quite painful. I will see where I go from here, will keep updating the thread with sit-ups for now and do as many pushups as I can without injuring myself further until I feel more comfortable again.

    Oh no! Yes, you definitely need fingers for pushups! It could take awhile for that finger to heal. Best of luck with that.
