Congrats on the results, that's awesome! I like the simplicity of push ups; you can do them wherever and it's very hard to come up with an excuse to not do them. Have you considered throwing pull-ups into the mix?

Personally I found it very very easy to come up with excuses to not go to the gym. Too tired, too far, it'll be too busy at this time, I don't have enough time, etc. The closest gym to me is 15 minutes. That's 30 minutes round trip + ~$260/yr + having to wait for most machines. Going 5 days a week would be 130 hours/yr in just driving for me!

I finally cancelled my membership and built a home gym. Best decision I've ever made. It costed me around ~$1200 in total for 300lb of weights, a power rack, an olympic barbell, a diy bench, and a full calisthenics "park" [1]. I've been a lot more consistent as I have zero excuses to not workout! The only thing I miss is the gym environment though; it's harder to be motivated when nobody is watching. I've found having a goal/routine to help with that though.
