In basic training for the Army in the 80's, we had to do 40 pushups and 40 situps to pass the PT test (this was easy as an 18 yr old in decent shape). Those are the only two exercises I have kept up on through the years and I hope I can keep that up into my 70's at least.
You definitely have me beat on cardio.... I HATE running and would be hard pressed to jog a mile non stop. I get winded leisurely riding a mountain bike around a campground. lol
I don't claim to be in great shape, I was just curious regarding pullups as I go back and forth over whether it is worth trying to get to higher number to try and keep ahead of my buddies.
