Ya I think that's pretty reasonable, but it sounds to me like you're driven to do that for the benefits and fun, rather than a metric. That's why I was wondering what he meant by working out. Like I probably do 1-2 hours a day if I include everything that is a workout, but I'm not listing "2hrs/365 athlete" in my HN description, and just have a series of athletic hobbies that get me going. I like pushing myself, but not arbitrarily, and I wouldn't want to waste time just ruthlessly persuing a number every day, but everyone needs a hobby.

It's strange to me when people list their stats more than they list the part of the process that's interesting.
