Now these numbers do have a few side notes, I actually started this streak in March of 2015 after a trip down to Florida to visit my aunt and uncle on Palm Island, only one of my favorite spots in the world. This was also the same time my Uncle Terry introduced me to Men’s Journal, which is a hybrid magazine between fitness and travel. World renown big wave surfer Laird Hamilton posts each month fitness tips he finds productive and one of them is the benefit of push-ups. What originally started out as 100 per day in March of 2015 quickly turned into 300 a day on June 1 2015 and in all surprises to me, I haven’t missed a day.
So why do I mention this, besides the obvious date today of June 1 (and also National Donut Day)? Well I recently started a new job and someone mentioned that they began a push-up challenge themselves and I thought that was really admirable and a great way to start something that improves your wellness. While I congratulated that person for starting this, I also had to congratulate myself on this feat which is something I recommend to everybody. Be proud of your accomplishments, set goals for yourselves whether it’s a fitness goal, a personal goal or a professional goal and stick to it. Think of the start of each month as the beginning to some sort of adventure or activity you want to pursue, maybe you want to read a book in the next 30 days, maybe you want to walk 10k steps a day, whatever.
Anyways, here’s to another three years of push-ups, God help me.
