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.JeromeBarry1 wrote: »I'm a fat tub-o-lard but I'll join you beginning with my exercises tomorrow. Really. I do it in the morning.
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.2 -
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.

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: 30/15001 -
