    wow, impressive challenge! I've done 500 crunches in one night without thinking much about it. I was watching some of "my" shows and laid on the floor and did them 25 reps at a time. Then, I did 200 and 100 push ups the following night. Anyway, enough of me, good luck to you!!!

    100 down. Doing sets of 50. For every 10 done, you're 1% closer to being finished!

    Nice, you're banging those out quick! 50 more down for me, which puts me to 200 now (20%!) Sets of 25 are starting to look good honestly!

    you can do it, I have 350 down. push ups and chest have always been my strong suit though. I am shooting for 500 in the first hour. I have 15 minutes left...

    50 more down. Same here, but my triceps are starting to really feel it. As time goes on this doorway is starting to look much smaller! GL!

    750 down... getting there... that last one was a b!tch but I got the set done. lol... this is great burn though...

    How Many Calories Does a Push-up Burn
    Different experts give different answers, but the most common range is between one-half and 1 calorie per push-up for an average male. Heavier people will burn more, while lighter people (including most women) will burn slightly less To burn the same number of calories as 20 minutes of moderate jogging, a person would have to do somewhere between 300 and 600 push-ups

    so since these are desk pushups I am going to go with the .5 calories per pushup as I am a heavier guy... so this will be 500 calories for me burnt by the time I am done....

    850 down... I am not looking forward to the drive home in the am. lol granted I am only going 2 minutes to the training center to workout but the ride after that is going to suck.
