It’s November 2008 and I’m standing in a quiet basement gym with an iPhone strapped to my arm with elastic bands. On the phone is the first working prototype of PushupFu. I press the button and start squeezing out some pushups only to hear the robotic voice of the FuBot shoult “HALF” the moment I started to falter. And you know what? I actually did a load more reps! I obeyed this crazy terminator-style voice without thinking twice. It was a truly bizarre experience and at that moment I knew we had something special.

Since then I’ve clocked up thousands more pushups and put on 10kg (22lbs) in muscle. Clearly it’s worked pretty well for me, but how well has it worked for the rest of our users? Well, we’ve taken a dive into the data and the results are very exciting!

It’s clear; PushupFu is effective! We’re extremely happy that we’ve inspired thousands of people to improve their fitness and couldn’t ask for more. But you know what else came from our stats? We know which COUNTRIES are the fittest! Stay tuned to find out which countries are making great progress, and which are slacking. Feel free to take guess in the comments

[Footnote: The analysis excludes data from any users who've only used the app a couple of times. Makes sense we think - no one's going to reach 100 pushups just by installing an app and not using it, right?]
