A $500M call option on home gyms

Strong disagreement here, from someone who used a simple app called "100 pushups" to incorporate stretching and pushups into my morning routine. I've got a personal record of 129 consecutive pushups, and have over 56k pushups tracked since I started using the app. My wife's started complimenting me on my physique.

Also, several of my friends use Strava or similar apps to great effect wrt their biking and running.

It's nearly always a mistake to assume your personal experiences or perspective are universal.

Apologies for the unsolicited advice, and you probably know this already, but you could incorporate some exercises that work out your back muscles to balance it out.

Thanks! No apology warranted! And yes, well aware -- and I always have at least a full day between the 100p sets (as advised by the 100p app I mentioned). The off days, I often do abs / crunches.

Got a link? There are a bunch on the App Store with that in the title.

The app per se is a little rough around the edges, but imho that's moot; I've followed its guidance for stretching and reps and rest days, and it was gratifying (and motivating) to track my progress to 100 consecutive pushups and beyond. Enjoy! :)
