A short motivational YouTube message by Kevin Ray Ward (recorded January 4) announcing his goal to complete 100,000 push-ups during 2026 and explaining the simple daily discipline he will use. He breaks the total into a daily average (274/day), commits to a safer target of 300/day (six sets of 50 taking ~1 minute per set → ~6 minutes daily), and reports early progress (over 1,250 push-ups in the first four days). The piece argues that massive goals are reached by small, consistent daily disciplines and finishes with a Yes Masters community call-to-action.

While the masses spend their days dominated by doubt, distraction and dead ends, the masters go through their day on fire. My friend. Welcome to the Fire Zone.
Here's what's crazy. This is one of the hardest things I've ever done, and yet it's one of the easiest things I've ever done. So I'm recording this Sunday evening, January 4th. I'm not counting this. I'll watch on the video, but I'm doing a hundred thousand push ups this year. Amazing how easy doing a hundred thousand push ups in a year is going to be. Hey there, it's coach Kevin Ray Ward, Fire Zone message of the day. And you're going to hear a lot about this this year because it was one of the most amazing, daunting goals I've ever set for myself. And that is doing 274 push ups on average every day for a single type for an entire year. I've never done anything like that. I've tried doing 100 push ups a day and I'm like, it's too hard, it's too much work, takes too much time, it's too much effort. And I just wouldn't do it. And then I made a commitment and I made a decision. I'm going to do a hundred thousand. Now, I was doing it because some guys had working with and friends with are doing it. And I'm like, I'm in, let's go. And I'm like, am I crazy? Can I do this? But here's what I want you to think about today is the way you do a hundred thousand pushups is very simple. You do 274 a day. Now I'm doing 300 a day. That's my commitment. I'll do 300 a day because that puts me ahead. If I ever miss a day, I'm not screwed. So here's how you do 300 a day. Takes me about one minute to do 50 push ups. One minute, 60 seconds, 50 push ups. If I can do 60, 50 push ups in 60 seconds, I have to do six sets of 50 push ups every day. That is one minute times six, six minutes. That is less than one half of 1% of my day. If I can control my emotions and control my will and control my discipline, 1 1/2 of 1% every day, I will be able to do a hundred thousand push ups in a year. And guess what? No question, I'm four days in now. I've done over 1250 push ups so far. So I'm averaging over 300 push ups a day. And guess what? It's easy. Yesterday we were, we were traveling, we were on the road all day long and I still got them in. Why just did it when I was make stops. We go do things without being sightseeing on a hike. I'm just doing push ups, my friend. The way you do something insanely hard is just make a decision. I'm going to do what I have to do every single day and huge accomplishments, massive goals are accomplished. When you make the decision to do the little disciplines every day, that consistency on the little things will turn into massive, massive results. 2026 is the year I do 100,000 pushups. What epic thing could you accomplish this year if you simply committed and made a decision to do the little things right every single day? That's what I'm here to help you do this year. I'm committed to it, I'm focused on it and I'm going to help you do some incredible things this year that are harder than anything you ever dreamed possible. So my friend is 2026. Let's go.
