St Jude’s Push-Up Challenge last day

June 1, 2023Curtis Matthews, Strength & Challengesbodybuildingcurtism

This post is part of my story as the Mobile Wiseguy and Wireless OG — a 58-year-old natural lifter who still loves testing his limits. One of the ways I did that was by turning a push-up challenge into a fundraiser for St. Jude.

🎉 Today marks my last day of the 30 days push up challenge, and it’s time for my final round of push-ups. I want to share some exciting updates with all of you! 💪

Firstly, I’m incredibly grateful to announce that we have reached a total of $324 in donations. Your support and generosity have touched my heart, and I cannot thank you enough. 🙏💙

In addition to the donations, I am thrilled to let you know that after completing the 100 push-ups in the video below, I pushed myself further and reached a grand total of 6100 push-ups! It has been an incredible journey, and I’m proud of what we have achieved together. 🌟

I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the members in my groups who generously contributed to the cause. Your belief in service to others truly shines through, and I am honored to have your support. 🤝

Participating in this challenge has been a privilege, and I want to extend my heartfelt praise and appreciation to every one of you who took part. Your dedication and commitment to making a difference are inspiring. Let’s continue spreading kindness and compassion. 🌈💪

Once again, a special thank you to St. Jude’s and all the members of this group. Your collective efforts have made a tremendous impact, and I’m grateful to have been a part of this meaningful journey. 🙌🌟

Push up challenge day 21

🏋️‍♂️ Update on my push-up challenge: I’ve completed a total of 3725 push-ups as of Day 20! 💪 However, my left elbow, which was already injured before the challenge, acted up last night, causing some discomfort. Despite this setback, I’m determined not to give up. To ensure proper recovery, I’ve decided to modify my routine and focus on the minimum requirement of 100 push-ups per day. It’s all about adapting and staying committed! 💯

Day 15 of the Push-Up Challenge

Starting the day with 3130 push-ups done! Since I reached my goal of 3000 push-ups in just 15 days, I’m now shifting my focus to quality over quantity. I’ll still do a minimum of 100 push-ups per day, but I’ll also incorporate other exercises into my routine.

The Exercise Mix

In addition to push-ups, I’ll be including sit-ups every day, matching the number of push-ups. I believe in a well-rounded workout, so I’ll also incorporate a leg exercise that corresponds to the number of push-ups. To begin, I’m adding dumbbell squats for a great lower body workout.

Join Me in Making a Difference

I’m excited to continue this journey and make an even greater impact for St. Jude’s. Your support means everything, so please consider donating and sharing my progress. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children. Let’s keep pushing forward! 💪🏼💙

Are you ready to get pumped up and inspired? I’m five days into the St. Jude push-up challenge, and I’m already a thousand push-ups down on day 6! Today, I completed 500 push-ups, and I’m aiming to hit the 3000 goal in just 15 days. It’s not just about the physical challenge, though. This challenge is all about raising money for the St. Jude hospital, and I’m calling on all my Facebook friends to donate to this worthy cause. Join me in this push-up challenge and let’s make a difference together. Let’s support the kids at St. Jude hospital and show them that they are not alone. Every push-up counts, and every donation makes a difference. Let’s do this!
