Sounds like a good plan. Did something similar to pass my fitness test last semester, where every half hour while studying, I would get up and do 20 situps, 20 pushups, then get back to work. At first, I was having 1-2 word dyspnea and overall out of shape, but it got easier within weeks.

Just to let you guys know that I am still working on this. I can now do 2 "man" pushups and 16 "lady" pushups. Before you pooh pooh this, 2 months ago when this thread started, I could not do 1 "man" pushup. I just want to let you know that I am not giving up until I can do the 10...... (kinda gives you a clue as to why I have the avatar I have huh? )

In my opinion it doesn't matter how many you do right now. The important thing is you have a goal and will not give up until you reach it. Keep working those numbers will seem small before you know it,

If someone as old as you can do it I just might have to give it a try.

We used to do this in my work section when we had quarterly PT tests...we would do 30 pushups, 30 situps, and do pullups to failure each hour. It took maybe 5 minutes to do the routine, as it got really easy to do the pushups and situps - after a few weeks, we moved it up to more pushups/situps, or made them harder (decline pushups, bicycles, etc.). Think of it like this...after an 8 hour day, you're doing well over 300 pushups/situps!! I got to the point when I would do over 1000 of each a day. Find new ways to challenge yourself once you get comfy doing many reps.
