When I was 15 years old I would do push-ups and sit-ups every other night because I had no way to get to a gym. I continued this for a year, beginning with about 10 push-ups every other night and working my way up to the most I have ever done in my life at one time without stopping -- 172 pushups. At the age of 16 I started driving myself to the gym and have not quit since; it's truly a hobby for me, not just hard work.
