5000 sit-ups 5000 push-ups

Last night, as I was browsing mixed martial arts videos on youtube, I found this guy named Herschel Walker, a former professional football player that became an mma fighter. Then, after doing some research about him, I was amazed about his really unorthodox regimen. In one interview, he said used to do 5000 sit-ups and 5000 push-ups when he was younger but the amazing thing is that upto now he does 3,500 sit-ups and 1,500 push-ups and guess what he's 50 years old! And to make things more amazing, he's a vegetarian but it's obvious that he's naturally gifted with amazing physical strength. It's really amazing that through-out the years, he's been able to maintain he's amazing physique and strength by just doing very basic exercises like push-ups and sit-ups. Hence, I have decided to try his work-out, so earlier this day when I was at the gym, instead of lifting traditional weights, I just did push-ups, sit-ups, squats and some pull-ups. I weigh around 83 kg. or almost 183 lbs., and I have love handles and slabs of fat surrounding my abs, thus, I have a hard time doing those sit-ups and pull-ups lol. Nevertheless, I won't give up, I'll just start slowly until I reach my goal of doing thousands of these exercises daily. Lastly, I plan to buy an exercise mat so that I can do my work-outs wherever I go, without going to the gym anymore.
