Every minute of the day counts. 1 min is equal to 1 push up or 1 situp, 1 mile running equals 1 hour of the day.
So everyday I need to do enough push ups, situps, or miles to stay ahead of this plan. Opinions?

Sound s shitty.
Firstly, you need to have a more overall plan. Secondly, that's ineffective. For the running for example, I'd suggest to first focus on your technique so, that your step really takes you further and feels good, and run as fast as you can for as long as can (or feels good), walk to catch your breath, and do it again. And again. This way you'll get an efficient exercise by just sub-5km running and it doesn't get on your knees in the long term.
How I exercise at the gym, is that I use weights that I can do less than 10 reps (but more than 5), rest half of the time it took me do the reps, take off some weight and do it again, until I am below my my warm-up weights. If I'm able to do more than ten reps, I try again with the same weights.
Oh, and I suggest going low carb diet (no protein drinks or such after the workout). After your body is used to use fat as energy, your performance actually increases by quite a lot. It just takes a month or two. You likely need stuff like iodine, zinc, chromium, kalium, D- and B-vitamins as supplement, luckily, you don't need to supplement daily; you could just supplement for a week or so every month or so.
If you don't go to a gym, I'd suggest doing as many reps as as fast as you can as long as you can, rest half of the time it took to do the reps and try again. Aim at 5-10 series.
That's probably the most effective way to work out I can think of, should work with someone with experience as well as beginners. If you're planning to train for bodybuilding of competing in sports, then you likely need a little (or a lot) different way to work out.
