Sweet, I just joined giveme27.com after reading this. Haven't done push-ups for a few weeks, but I saw that the site's high scorers were only at 60 and 40. Couldn't quite hit the #1 myself, but seeing others' numbers certainly motivated me to try harder too!
Really, it's all about balance if you're running a startup, a regular business, or working a 9-5. We all need something to create/maintain/release some energy besides sitting in front of a computer, and it definitely gives you more energy overall.
My personal fave is mountain biking, and I'm looking to get back into kickboxing in the fall (maybe now that I've said so publicly I'll be more motivated not to poop out on that statement ;)
Joining a recreational sports team is another good option, plus you get out and meet/hang out with people that way, which can be tough when you're in startup mode.
Here's an idea: YC ought to try a sports night where the startup founders all get together and play a bit...
