“I do 5 sit-ups every morning. May not sound like much, but there’s only so many times you can hit the snooze button”

“I do 5 sit-ups every morning. May not sound like much, but there’s only so many times you can hit the snooze button” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. To the speaker, getting up to hit the snooze button counts as a sit-up.
 
“I’ve started an exercise program. I do 20 sit-ups each morning. That may not sound like a lot, but you can only hit that snooze button so many times” was posted on the newsgroup alt.tv.days-of-our-lives on February 6, 2000. “I do ten sit-ups every morning. It might not sound like much, but there are only so many times you can hit the snooze button” was posted on X/Twitter by Caskey (and many others) on August 8, 2010. “I do 5 situps every morning.. Might not sound like much, but there’s only so many times you can hit the snooze button” was posted on X/Twitter by Vic Law on October 27, 2011.
 
The joke’s amount of “sit-ups” to hit the snooze button has decreased from 20 to 10 to 5.

I’ve started an exercise program, too. I do 20 sit-ups each morning.
That may not sound like a lot, but you can only hit that snooze button so
many times.
