I personally believe that we tend to be more viscerally motivated when we are able to internalize any goals on a personal level, so if the goal is abstract then we may well not want to continue to carry it out.
I do have a motivation on a personal level just in terms of my sense of my own well-being, and I continue to believe that pushups are a good daily activity, and I believe that I will suffer more costs by stopping doing them than the benefits of continuing to do them on a daily basis.
Regarding your math. .it is not correct.
Sure my past pushups are in the can.. meaning that they already count and there is no taking them back, yet whatever I contribute the future is based on my current and/or future pushups, even though my average per day pushups is propped up by the quantity of pushups that I did in the past. i had right around 14 days that were more than 400 pushups and around 4 of those days were more than 700 pushups, with one of the days (my record day) having 1,330 pushups in one day.. so surely those BIG days really did bring up my average. but it took some time to build up to being able to do that quantity of pushups in any particular day.. and even for several days, like a kind of ongoing training for a specific goal.
Sometimes when I read through this article I tend to remember you and almost tend to feel like it's you. Hitting 1330 in a day just in a challenge of mere 100 pushups daily could be very interesting. Dedication and setting new goals daily is the real deal here. I also wondered the level of practice that Minoru Yoshida must have put in to be able to push such number of pushups in one streak. with such level of determination, the gap left by the reduction in your number of pushups can also be closed while we still aim at achieving the 2 million pushups by the end of next year.
I have only been able to hit 100 pushups in a set as my highest in one set. If every one adds more effort to improve their daily pushups, then there are chances of closing the gap too.
