This morning I was excited when I decided to do this update post and realized how close I was getting to a half a million push ups and chins. I was getting ready to pledge to get to a half a million by Christmas, but then I stopped and did the math. If I was going to get to a half a million by December 25th I would need to do over 2743 push ups or chin ups by Christmas - I am not sure i have that in me. Nonetheless at this rate I should hit half a million early in the New Year- that is pretty good right? Anyway I am determined to try to consistently hit some good numbers so that i hit the 500,000 mark before we hit spring. Around work we are always having volunteer bakers making treats or having our supporters show up with chocolate and treats around this time of year- so I certainly can use all the physical exercise I can get. Right now I am doing about 30 minutes of supersets of push ups and chin ups most mornings. So of the days that I am posting slightly lower daily totals I am doing bur-pees super-setted with chin ups or pull ups. I am doing burpees ( yes like everyone else I hate burpees too- but they are a great full body conditioning exercise)  some days to keep things interesting , and of course I am doing burpees with a push up.

Sometime in January I added a site counter over to the left to see how many people were visiting this blog. The number on the left says that 2489 people have visited this blog-well that could be a lot of the same people visiting it more than once I suppose. Sometime around April the site counter that I had on my blog just stopped working. I didn't notice for a while, but when you click onto "stats' you realize that the last visitor the thing logged was about mid April. I have added a new site counter and started the count where the last counter stopped. Not that any off this has a lot to do with my goal to do a million push ups/chins.

New Years Goals

total push ups and chins 142,617

2008 has ended and I have added a total of 81081 to my push ups/chin ups total. That works out to an average of 222 chins/push ups a day. Both of these numbers are an improvement on last years total of 61,201 or average of 167 per day. This is definately an improvement to be proud of buy I know I can bring both the yearly total and the average up-and will this year. This year at New Years dinner (Cathy had told us in advance that she was going to have us each do this) we all had to list a goal or several goals for the year. Not a resolution a goal , and the goal had to be measureable. Two of the goals I chose that relate to the goal of doing a million push ups and chin ups was to "be able to do 100 consectutive chin ups and 100 consectutive push ups. I figure 100 push ups is hard but achievable. ( I can probably do sets of 40 consectutive push ups). The chin ups will take some serious work as currently I can do sets of 10 consecutive-100 is a long way off.

Walter Linn:
It is surprising what a man can do when he has to, and how little most men will do when they don't have to.

Still consistently plugging away at reaching my goal of doing a million push ups and chins.. Getting two hours of workouts in most days a week has been challenging-specifically on workdays. The last 7 days I have averged 52 minutes a day of working out,which in itself is pretty good. This weekend I will get some decent workouts in.
