I made a commitment at the beginning of 2014 to do 15,000 push ups, 3,000 pull ups, and 24 hours of planking. Half way through the year, and a little over half way to my goal.
Month | Push Ups | Pull Ups | Plank (min.) |
January | 1,500 | 310 | 144.00 |
February | 1,250 | 250 | 120.00 |
March | 1,810 | 355 | 138.00 |
April | 1,790 | 355 | 126.00 |
May | 1,450 | 296 | 120.00 |
June | 1,400 | 274 | 138.00 |
Totals | 9,200 | 1,840 | 786.00 |
The math is pretty simple. Here’s the daily breakdown needed to hit the goals:
- Push ups 41.1/day
- Pull ups 8.2/day
- Planking 3 minutes 57 seconds/day
It’s surprising how easy it has become. The toughest thing is the planking. But every time a commercial comes on the TV, I get down and plank for 90 seconds. I didn’t like doing them in January, but now, they are fairly easy.
My back hasn’t felt this good in a long time! Now that I’ve publicly posted this, I have no choice but to make those goals!
