When I started this challenge, I was planning to do 100 push-ups every day. I set out and decided that I couldn't do it, so I do it on days that are spaced out to at least provide continuity.
With my work and other workouts, doing push-ups every day would be very tiring. So sometimes I squeeze them in at the end of my workouts or do 100 push-ups on my off days.
I did 100 push-ups today too

Surely there is no need to kick yourself or even to put undue pressure on yourself to do something like 100 pushups per day, especially if you may well have either a lot of other physical activities (including exercises that you do) and/or if you might have a schedule/routine that is not very conducive to fitting in 100 pushups per day (& every day).
Frequently, my five sets per day feels really grueling, even though I am able to fit such a thing into my schedule, and I am allowing myself (or authorizing myself) to create such a priority to do that many pushup sets per day. So out of my 253 days of doing pushups, I have right around 70% of the days that I had done 5 or more pushup sets for those days.
I am tentatively thinking that once we go over $100k. . if we go over $100k, then maybe at that point, I will cut back on the number of pushup sets per day, even though there seems to be a certain value in doing pushup sets in order to be able to continue to be able to do them, so there is a risk for any of us that our abilities to do pushups is likely going to go down once we stop or slow down doing pushups, so we would have to build back up to being able to do them in the event that we cut back in the quantity of pushups that we do per day.
Losing endurance becomes more likely to happen the older that we get, so sometimes if we might be an older person, it might take us longer to build up to a certain high level of endurance as compared to a younger person, and it also might take us a bit longer to build up our recovery times, so that we are not as sore between our exercise sessions, whether referring to pushups or other kind of regular exercise that we might end up doing.
You summarized it very well, thank you. I try to do functional exercises as much as possible, I think of exercises that are suitable for daily life routine and can provide endurance as an investment for the future in later ages. So that my muscles, articulation and tendons can stay strong.
I will still push myself a little bit until Bitcoin reaches 100k, when it reaches 100k, maybe then I will continue to do push-ups only in my Calisthenics workouts in chest days.
The push-ups I do daily or intermittently are extra. Continue to do push-ups as extra until Bitcoin reaches 100k. !
