40 days in the books for me since starting this challenge. That’s 4,000 push-ups! I’m glad to see Bitcoin rallying so hard with the hope that we will soon be able to declare victory over this challenge. With a little luck we’ll get there before the halving so we can all get some much needed rest for our muscles.

That means you already started the process before bringing it here. If I may ask, how did you come by this idea? I'm asking because I find it interesting that you were actually thinking of ways of adding value to the bitcoin community.

I posted the video of the guy who I think started the challenge. We were discussing it in the WO thread before I started it here. That’s why some of us were already doing it prior to this thread.

I’ve been trying to think of ways to add value to this community for a dozen years, but I would cry legitimate tears if this thread was what people remembered as my contribution here. Still, thanks for the kind words and recognition of my attempt to provide value.

There is a popular saying that health is wealth and what you have done with this thread is to bring that statement to reality. If a man is wealthy yet battling with poor health, there is no way he can enjoy the wealth in happiness, so anything that can improve the health condition of man is a huge contribution. Therefore, what you have done has direct impact on the lives of a lot of people following this thread and doing the needful. I have read several testimonies of many people here already who have confirmed that the daily exercise has helped them improve their overall health conditions, I am one of those beneficiaries as well. So, your contribution to the bitcoin community is great and highly appreciated. This forum will keep it on record that there was someone whose post motivated the bitcoin community to engage in physical exercise as they await bitcoin to get to $100k. Probably when bitcoin would have gotten to $500k - $1m, people will remember this thread again and wish they bouth bitcoin during the days of exercise when ot was still cheaper.

I have always had some kind of exercise in my life, but I think that in the last 5-6 years I had been doing a lot of walking-kinds of activities, and maybe only the past 9 months, I started lifting weights and stretching more, instead of walking so much.. so when the pushup challenge came, I had not been doing pushups or any other kind of body resistant exercise, but I thought that it was a good idea to try it out.. even though I was really not that excited about pushups until I started to really think about it more seriously.. then I began to warm up to the idea... so yeah I was not able to do 100 push ups in my first several days, and I had not been doing pushups for many years.. maybe close to 20 years. I cannot even remember the last time I was really doing body weight type exercises. even though I have had some other kinds of exercises that were more cardio in nature, even though I did have periods of time around 2017, 2018, 2019 of going to the gym to lift weights and swimming too.

I guess this was why it was easy for you to get started at once. Before now I have been struggling to make time for exercise due to busy schedules. But because of this challenge, I do exercise first thing in the morning before I take my shower and prepare for work and in the evening before I take my shower and go to bet, and somedays I do in the day time when the chance permits me. I was not this committed to exercise before, the reason I appreciate the idea of this challenge so much.
