1,000 push-ups in a hour live on OTB | Charity challenge with Ray Moylette

The fighting pride of Mayo, Ray Moylette is taking on the challenge of doing 1,000 push-ups in one-hour this morning (Friday, April 17th) at 10:00am across all OTB's social channels.

All proceeds will go to HSE Front Line Staff and Pieta House - you can help him reach the €10,000 target here.

We will be going live to this challenge just after tomorrow's OTB AM - and Adrian Barry and Eoin Sheahan will present live coverage of the 1,000 push-ups. We will also be joined by some friends of the show.

The road to this undertaking started on April Fool's Day.

Ray first took on the challenge in isolation - when he posted about it on April 1st some followers wondered whether he was pulling their legs.

Not one to have his word questioned, he vowed on OTB AM to take-on the challenge again, this time live on the internet and for charity.

To put things in perspective, think of doing 17 press-ups in one minute and repeating it 60 times. That's the pace Ray needs to hit.

"I'm going to do it live... I want to show that I'm not a blaggard full time," he told OTB AM.

Since he initially posted about the challenge, many have tried to replicate the feat, with few managing to make it north of 500 reps.

"I think it took people to try it and do it to realise - wow, that was a challenge!"

So, while boxing rings lie empty... the lightweight is preparing for a different kind of mental and physical challenge.

Earlier this month, Ray put together this workout video for our Off The Couch series (if you're feeling inspired - or looking to work up a sweat).

Once more - if you want to help Ray hit his €10,000 target - here's the link.
