This is the story of a 35-year-old man who completed his one millionth pushup making a record of his own. His name is Kevin Cullum. This is not just another simple fitness journey but more about being persistent, dedicated towards a goal.

It all started almost ten years ago. So, what it takes? Time, the right techniques, injuries, emotional investment, physical investment and whole lot of dedication.

Man Who Did A millionth Push-up

Kevin Cullum embarked on this mission in 2015. He started sharing his journey on Instagram as the push-up guy after achieving nearly 100,000 push-ups. “I was trying to break the world record for the most push-ups done in one hour,” he said, adding that he trained for a couple of months, but when he started getting injuries he thought he wouldn’t be able to do it. “So that’s when I fully transitioned my focus to doing a million push-ups.”

This milestone of his life is not mere a fitness journey, but one that has inspired others. He has also shared about anxiety, mental health and more.

Why did Kevin Cullum start this? He began this journey in order to track his own fitness, both physical and mental.This was a personal goal where he wanted to fit but more than that be able to manage hi anxieties.

In one of his posts dated in April, he captioned about his journey, “Growing up I was so afraid. So afraid of so many things. In particular, I was afraid to throw up. To vomit. I couldn’t even write that word 20 years ago. My fears and anxieties about everything in life were debilitating me as a kid. I felt like THAT was who I was. That was my persona: a guy who is afraid to throw up. A guy who is afraid. I was so defined by that internally, I just figured I was also defined by that externally. It’s a strange fear. I know it is. But it impacted everything I did in life growing up. Every decision I made had that as the final consideration. These days, I’m nothing like I was as a kid. I still have anxieties and fears, but who doesn’t. I often wonder if I will regret sharing these details of my past. I know some people think I shouldn’t talk about it because it’s not cool or tough.”

In April of 2024, he wrote that, “3,369 days ago I started tracking my push-ups. I thought it’d be cool to see how many I did later in life. After I did 10s of thousands, I thought, it would be really cool to do 1 million in my lifetime. Maybe that would inspire someone, I hoped. As I continued to make progress — 100,000 push-ups down, 200,000 push-ups down — I started sharing the journey on Instagram. Again — to hopefully inspire people.”(sic)

In his viral video, he said that, “Finally, to anyone else still reading — you struggle with things just like I struggle with things. We all do. Do not quit. Do not surrender. Keep pushing forward, and you will get to where you want to be.”
