Lessons learned by doing 100 push-ups a day for 100 consecutive days

Just finished a self-imposed 100 push-ups a day during 100 consecutive days challenge.

The inspiration?. Blame Noah Kagan: I listened to a podcast where he mentioned this challenge and somehow it resonated with me.

For context, it’s not the first try. Back in June/July 2021, I failed miserably after 21 days with a severe back pain.

Out of nowhere on a cold January Sunday morning, I decided to do 100 pushups, and decided it was the first day of the challenge.

I even added another 100 to the formula. I wanted to do the 100 push-ups during 100 consecutive days and before 10:00am each day. Which I reckon failed 2 or 3 days.

On April 25th I finished the challenge
