Marine attempts one million pushups (2,732 A DAY) to raise money for Wounded Warriors Project

For his New Year's resolution, Florida Sergeant Enrique Trevino vowed to do 1 million pushups by the end of December.



Some said he couldn't do it, so he upped the ante - devoting the extreme feat to the Wounded Warrior Project, which aids injured veterans.



At a rate of more than 2,000 pushups a day, he's now more than halfway to his goal. He's also raised $25,000 for his fellow soldiers.

'In the very beginning, there were a lot of people who said your body can't handle it,' Sgt Trevino told NBC 6 . 'That's their first mistake: telling a Marine you can't do something.'

He chose to donate the funds to the Wounded Warrior Project because of the work that they do.

The organization helps to raise awareness and aid injured service members.



'People who are suffering from PTSD. Those are scars that are not seen, but people don't notice everyday,' Sgt Trevino said.

Help: It takes him about an hour to finish 700, which he does during his lunch break

'I'm just trying to bring awareness to those veterans who're transitioning into civilian life, and just make sure they're never forgotten.'



Last week, Sgt Trevino completed 500,000 pushups. Each day, he tries to finish 2,732 pushups. It takes him about an hour to finish 700, which he does during his lunch break.

He has since created a Facebook page and YouTube channel to chronicle his intense fitness regime.



He's even accrued 2,908 Facebook followers dedicated to his endeavor.
