but I'd feel like a tool if I was in the office and dropped down to do pushups every hour.
Worked with a guy that would do stuff like this. Your assumptions of feeling like a tool are correct .
24 push ups isn't much, but unless you are in shape (i.e. have been working out), doing that every hour is going to leave you sore as hell the next day. And without any time to recover, it's not going to be any easier the second day. You really have to "ramp up" the effort. You are not going to be able to do as many the first day as you will on day 30 (again, unless you are already at that fitness level). So if this is a new challenge for someone, someone needs to come up with a reasonable, progressive plan.

This challenge is way more of a mental thing than a physical thing. It's mentally exhausting to get down and do pushups on a schedule. If you would take my method, 24 pushups on the hr from 9am-10pm, that would be 420 total sets over the course of 1 month. That's 420 times where you say "frick, it's time to do pushups again". The reason I think this would be the ideal number is because you can say "well, it's only 24. I can knock that out".
