Exercise can be a very difficult task to keep up with oneself consistently. And mostly what usually lead to people giving up is when they decide to give excuses to skip a day or two and before they know it, it has gone from days to weeks. Coming back becomes even harder because when you remember the pains your muscles gonna give you since it has relaxed due to how long you have skipped from working out.

And hypothetically from what I think, aside from BTC price reaching 100k, what also led to some persons tired out and  quitted was that they didn't had a workouts partner which both could be encouraging each other either to take it on in the evening or morning as the case might be. But still, some would say that's not an excuse.
Part of the reason that I advocate doing pushups every day and not skipping days is because a certain level of increased soreness seems to come from larger periods of time between doing pushup sets... so yeah, guys are likely going to experience breaks in pushups differently depending on other things that they might be doing and/or maybe their age and/or health/fitness status.

Having an exercise partner could be helpful, yet we likely need to put the responsibility on ourselves in terms of our priorities, since it is likely difficult to find a partner who is likely to share in their assigning of priorities and/or even if we might pay a personal trainer, sometimes their priorities are going to sufficiently differ from our own in order to potentially cause tensions and/or conflicts.
Reasons of health, age and fitness can be accommodated but having to skip out of tiredness should be something people should intentionally fight themselves out with their pushups because exercise isn't just about body building but do also help in creating sharp mind and improving mental health.

It seems that almost every single day, I don't want to do my daily pushups, so in some sense, I am frequently mauling over potential excuses.. yet at the same time, I place the pushups as a priority so I don't really easily give myself excuses.

Surely something like an injury might be a reason to either lessen or even to completely abstain from pushups for a period of time, and a couple of days ago, I accidentally stubbed my toe on a piece of furniture, and so my foot really hurt for a few hours, and I kept thinking that I might not be able to either do my pushups or my lunges.. but then at the same time, when I went to do the pushups, I merely put a pillow under my feet (to provide cushioning), and even though I could still feel the injury, it was really not painful enough to stop me from doing my pushups, and so when I did the lunges, I purposefully tried to make sure that I did not overly put too much weight on the injured toe area, and so it really was not bad, and then after several sets, and even into the next day, the pain of the injury became less and less, and then I started to feel back to normal.

I sometimes have similar feelings of potential injury with my shoulders or my wrists or my neck or even my back or my chest, yet many times,  the level of the injury (so far) has not amounted to being sufficient enough to stop me from doing my daily pushups, even if a few times, I have had to modify my pushups a little bit in order to accommodate areas of pain and/or potentially meaningful injury that ends up passing with time (at least so far).
All of these you had to do just not to skip your pushups. Wow! It clearly captures the statement that "when you're determined to do a thing, you'll always find a way to do it".  Because if it were someone's else, the pains a lone from the toe was sufficient to rationalize an excuse for skipping it for the day, which could have led to more days waiting for it to heal.

Doing exercise like pushups can actually cause some of those pains you feel around different parts of your body. Though they are not bad pains, it's just the muscles of the body when stretched too hard or a vein partially twisted while you were working out, but the pains always subside in no time but much faster if you continue with the workout.
