When I was in HS I had the record (for a year) for 67 sit-ups in one minute.

Push ups, I usually do 15-20 in a set but I do them with my feet inclined on the bed.
Most people I see doing push ups do them going part of the way to the ground and "mostly" back up all the way.
I do them with a straight back and until my chest touches the ground and back to an arm locked up position.
I can probably do no more than 30 of those without a break.

In my twenties we would regularly do 50 at a shot. Not anymore
