Hey now i am on my 31 st day and it will be last day of my challange :). I think it has somr effect, but there are other better training options that 100 push ups/day. Jeah, and i forgot abour training back so now i am using your posture video :D
⭐I actually started the 100 push-ups a day challenge on July 1st so it's been one month so far and the results have been great. I started 100 sit-ups a day on January 1st of this year and same thing, great results. Consistency is the key. The most important thing that I've gained is discipline.
Could you tell me your diet plan? Did u change your foods or do u still eat the same thing? And also how long do u wait after excercising to eat and vise verca
This! Same experience for me, the discipline literally changed my life. 100 push ups every morning structured my morning routine, enabled more focus, better performance at work, ADD gone …
Been doing 100 pushups a day (Mon-Fri) for a few months now. Started by doing 5 sets of 10 reps a day on week one, adding a few more each week until I got to 100 a day after 5 weeks. Last Friday, I was feeling extra energetic, so I did 200 pushups that day. This is in addition to my regular daily (Mon-Sat) workouts. I'm 52 years old, 6'3" and 260 pounds. If I can do it, so can you. It helps that in my head I think of the pushups as "just something I do" and not part of my workout.
Very educational and helpful. My workout program: 4 on 1 off repeat - 3-4 weeks then add intensity, weights, reps etc. Monday: Chest & Back + Abs - Pushups, Pullups [different variations and reps] Tuesday: Cardio/Jogging / stairs or Plyometrics Wednesday: Shoulders & Triceps + Biceps + Abs - free weights, curls, hammer curls, shoulder presses, tricep extensions etc. Thursday: Legs - free weights / squats etc. (if my legs still sore from Tuesday, < rest day Friday: Rest Day < if took rest day on Thursday, I will do legs on Friday Saturday Chest + Back + Abs Sunday - cardio etc. Rest is a Must, Form is always King, no Ego lifting - when you feel like you can't just do one more, You do NOT need all these new fancy workouts, supplements etc. Old way is still best, pushups, pullups, curls, hammer curls etc. if you do not have weights use < Bucket/bag/bookbag filled with water bottles etc. Def. invest into a pull up bar. Know your nutrition and goals < very important. For supplements I use whey protein: Creatine Monohydrate Powder 5g and Authentic Whey Muscle Building Whey Protein Powder both from Jacked Factory Store (no they don't pay me, if you put in a good work maybe they will? lol ) I have not had any negative side effects etc. ALWAYS research what ingredients the supplement you use has in it. If it has a minimum/ low % of being a negative side effect. ex. hurts kidneys etc. what I do is counter it, so I will add Chicken Liver to my meals. This is what works for me, everyone is different etc. Thank you for taking the time reading this. ++ disclaimer ++ This is what I have done and works for me, this is for educational / helpful information only. I highly recommend you consult with a physician/ nutrition etc. before you start anything new.

I've been doing 20 push ups in a day for 4 months now and I have also improved my diet,the results are amazing,I think it's not about how many you can do in a day,but how consistent you are and also inprove your diet,trust me you will be amazed.
Yes it is right but unless you push your limits by increasing the reps you will lose interest in doing it after your body can't improve with only that many pushups
The total amount actually does not matter for muscle grows. It matters to exhaust the muscle to signal the body to grow more muscles. For obese people who never did pushups 10-20 push ups even on knees can be a great exhausting workout. Other people do 100 push ups a day with ease and won't get more growth without increasing the stress with higher difficultie variations or more reps.
@@BobbyBeattie-mb3dk To my knowledge,testosterone can be improved by having a proper diet and exercise,so i believe it would increase it most especially if you eat the right things.But i feel stronger and better and doing it daily has also helped me become more disciplined,because they are days i wake up feeling lethargic but i still do it and it's an approach I've implemented in other spheres of my life.
Ive been doing the 100 pushups a day since i was 15, im 20 now and never understood why i had a bit of a hunch. I didnt do too many back workouts till i was about 19, now i do pullups everyday too. Ever since I realized i have better posture, remember to always hit all areas of muscle on your workouts 💪
@@Carptus diet is necessary no junk food atleast eat what your asian mom tells you and you will be fine she knows more about diet than you so just eat what she gives no need for anything else plus sprouts
@@bilethumper1912 well reduce the amount of pizza you eat start eating fruits once a week is good I eat fruits once a week it is beneficial for you also fasting once in two months but this may not be an option for you or you can give it a try the main tip you have to follow is be patient and increase your intensity of exercise slowly but you can't skip them no matter what you eat if you can persist for a few months then you will see great results also running is very good to reduce fat if you want strength like actual strength try to do skipping awesome cardio makes you fast as fuck boi you can also do plyometrics running is also good if you want to be shredded
Been doing this for a good two and a half months now. I started at 5 sets of 20 reps , now i usually do 3-5 sets of 50 reps . Triceps and chest are noticeably larger and I generally just feel much stronger and energetic. Was kinda hard staying motivated but after a month or so it just became a part of my day.
There has been studies that show after 21 consecutive days of doing something, the brain forms the habit to do so. So easier to find the energy to do so
I tried this challenge exactly one year ago, and now I am currently sitting at 250 pushups everyday. I remember the first week being absolutely hell, and it only got harder. But after two or three weeks, I felt my strength increase drastically. Supper effective challenge
@@ilovemilfs69420 bro it's really not that much, I mean it's still way more than I could lmao, but my friend went from frail to ripped with (mostly) push-ups, but he progressively did more, and after just a few months he was hitting like 500-800 _a day_ . I must say that it dramatically changed his looks for the better tho - he's stopped working out years ago, and you can still see it on him when he takes a shirt off. I hadn't asked specifically, but I presume he ate much more and probably more healthy, considering his results were as if he was in the gym for about the same time. So I think it comes down to consistency + good progressive overload + good diet.
I just completed a one week push-up challenge and over the course of a week did 940 pushups and I totally agree with what you said about getting weaker towards the end of the month (or week as mine was compounded) thanks for making this video and sharing your information I’m glad I came across this!
@@SuperSickNerd I did 1 day off 1 day in and even if the muscle didn't fully recover it feels great as 1 day is enough to ease the excessive tension in the muscles so we are ready to exercise again after a day of rest I feel much lighter done 500+ reps for 10 days
It may seem crazy but am a felon and spent some time in the hole (solitary confinement) out of boredom i was doing a basic workout till one day i got motivated wanted to get bigger after i notice my chest and tricep getting bigger for a few weeks i was doing 1000 push up a day sets of 20 of course i did it after a span of the day thru wake up till lights out and I seen progress and it did me good but I had plenty of time of course and good form was a big help that's why am watching this video today because I wanted to work out again and remember my time incarcerated thanks for your time reading this guys have a good day stay bless and get at it
I began the 100 pushups per day on May the 1st and i`m still doing them - Matter of fact i raised them to 150 - 200 per day. I usually do them as a warm up for my regular workout. i´m 57 and it got me well defined on my chest area and enlarged my triceps.
I do pushups between sets and it's been a game changer. Between 50-150 per day. I've had some nasty snapping/popping elbows for my whole life. My ulnar nerve snaps over the bone on both of them. Docs basically tell me to F off, cause they can't do anything. I was worried so many pushups would make things much worse, but I feel like everything is becoming better "seated" in my elbows. I actually can do skullcrushers without my arms going pins and needles after I'm done...
This challenge changed my life but I also do Superman back flys to keep my posture right & bicycle for my abs. These three core exercises got me looking like a beast without doing much work. Just a little everyday goes a long way!
I started a push-up routine about 1.5 years ago and worked up to doing 3 sets of regular pushups (60 reps x 3), 3 sets of incline pushups (60 reps x 3), and 3 sets of decline pushups (60 reps x 3), for a total of over 500 push-ups per day. This was sustainable on a daily basis. However, I decided this was a bit extreme, so I spaced out my push-up routines to every other day. As a 63-year-old male (180 lbs, 5' 9"), my body shape, muscle size, and tone were great motivators. As I backed off the push-ups (and other things, i.e., shoulder press, inverted row, lateral arm raises, etc.) to 2-3x/week, I seemed to maintain my physique, but noticed fairly consistently that almost always after two days of rest, I began to feel sore more frequently. Now, I can do 100 consecutive push-ups with good form, non-stop, but can tell that's almost my limit. I doubt I could do that daily at my age without injuring something.
I have been doing 100 a day since the 5th of jan this year, and im not quiting. I have grown so much that i now have stretch marks on the front of my shoulders. I recomend anyone to do this challenge cuz it not only helps you physicly but its been helping me mentaly (discipline), i plan to do this until at least the 5th of jan next year Edit: i just found out that i have done 4000 push-ups by now on the dot
Ive done 50 pushups a day coming up to 2 years now without missing a day. There has been a massive change but i did have to continually improve my form because at first my sternum would pop from time to time and i had back pain. These issues have since gone since i perfected my form. With perfect form I would say this is a really good alternative to bench pressing.
I've been doing 100 push-ups a day since November of 2022 for some good cause. It's become a habit and I haven't stopped. No injuries. It becomes a whole lot easier. I am able to do 100 in a row now and feel stronger, more confident, and it only takes a few minutes every day! Highly recommend.
Started with a measly 10 pushups per day. After 4 months its 60/day. Upper body strength has increased, forearms feel stronger. Also focussed on the posture as per your video and to my surprise, height increased by an inch. Now I'm getting used to pseudo-planch and archer pushups. Along with that, crunches and oblique muscles are also in focus.
I find your videos very educational throughout the years. I’d like to mention that i had done 200 push ups a day for around 3 weeks. I did 4x50 everyday, some days 2x100 and the results were pretty good considering I hardly ain’t no more than 1200cals. I did get a lot of sourness but it’s 100% worth doing it! The enjoyment of reaching your goal keeps you going back for more
I did 100 press-ups 5 times a week in my 20s. It changed my arm definition and chest definition. I’m female and now 60 on my next birthday. I can still do 100 press ups and everyone is jealous of my arm shape and my abs. So does it work ? Definitely! Combine with abs and lunges and squats for an all over workout.
@@drews0n no. Surprisingly not. Recent studies show that stretching before working out or other physical activities are not only counterproductive, but could also be harmful. I know it’s strange to hear. I grew up playing sports and we’d spend a minimum of 15 min before practice and games just stretching. I was very surprised when I found this out as well
@@fourdubs4 No those studies are complete bs in he world today nothing is ever true. stretching ur legs muscles warming them up before a run will significantly lower the chance of u getting injured than waking up walking outside and start running. this works for every type of workout.
My two cents if you're going to do this: - Rest on the weekend. - Do pullups, face pulls, cuban presses, and external rotation exercises with laying on your side a few times a week so that you counter imbalances. - Pick one day during the week to do a full body workout. This should give you good results, I think.
I'm up to 50 push-ups per set, 3 sets a day, as part of my daily routine. No more gym's, just a simple HITT circuit. 60 squats/50 push-ups/30 ab circles/30 crunches/20 leg raises/20 pull-ups. 7 days a week.
I am actually doing this challenge plus 150 squats and 100 abs. The gains are insane, its not as difficult since I have been doing home workouts for 2 years. I think forcing too much is not good, eat well and going progressively and consistently with time will make it easier.
I have recently started working out myself. I planned on trying this challenge and seeing for myself, what results I can achieve. Therefore I am glad to have seen this video, and I can’t wait for the optimized version to come out. I really want to get the most out of my training, without wasting any potential muscle growth. I very much appreciate your videos, since they are informative, as well as motivative!
@@walkerwalkerr7295 hello, thanks for asking. After doing pushups 4 times times a week, I mainly experienced an increase in number of pushups I can do. But I still really enjoyed this challenge as a beginner, and would definitly recommend when doing it, adding some rest days.
Just finished watching 'What Happens To Your Body After 100 Push-Ups a Day For 30 Days' and I'm genuinely impressed and motivated! The transformation and dedication it takes to stick with such a rigorous routine are truly commendable. It's incredible to see the physical changes and the improvement in overall strength and endurance over just a month. This video not only showcases the power of consistency but also inspires viewers to challenge themselves and see what they're capable of achieving. The detailed explanation of the process and the visible results really highlight the benefits of push-ups as a fundamental exercise. Definitely considering taking on this challenge myself!
I did this when I was in university, 20yo, no gym, results were amazing. At a later phase I was doing it with a backpack full of books on to add weight 😂😂 And I'm sure that contributed for my body shape nowadays! In terms of exercise/look it was the best thing I did after starting calithenics 5 years later. I'm 29 now, stronger than ever 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
@@dragz4life422 I definitely did and it was super motivating between the first and second already! Chest started to be larger and popping up. But I guess it will depend if you're a completely beginner and how old are you
@@dragz4life422 I am skinny but strong from years of training, I got tired of the BS gym all the weight and crowd, I am into martial arts, we used to do pushups and body workouts. I just switched to pushups pulllups and dips at the park and will never go back to Iron, it's insane gain, triceps/biceps exploded and chest and back too.
I think pushups work more muscle mass than Bench presses..abs, back muscles, thugh extensors, all to keep the body straight. I can knock off 35-40 on a good day.. but go to about 3 reps short of failure on several sets. They work. Do pullups with these, and go back to back .. so push, pull, etc.. but every day? Makes no sense.. Muscle grows on recovery day..
@ehthra5924 Just keep working .. There will be days you feel like saying what the h--? and THOSE are the days you need to push through. Tip: Don't over train. You don't have to get like 'Arnold' just be the best that God intended to be.. Bottom line, you feel great
I started this challenge at the start of the school year, but at first I couldn't do all 100, so I slowly worked up to it and now I can do 100 pushups (I do it in 4 sets). I've seen a lot of gains, and I'm going to continue to this as a daily routine.
I used to do 200 pushups and 100 chin ups a day. I did it for a year and I felt great and had good results. I stopped working out for years and I believe that this year helped me have an athletic body for years after.
If you’re like me and over 40 trying to get back into it. Do it right. Hit your 10 sets of 10 push-ups your first week on Monday and Wednesday. Sit-ups Tuesday and Friday. After the first week you will be able to get to either 15-20 reps per set. Do the same workouts same days but push for those higher reps the 2nd week. Third week push for that 20rep/set. 4th week you should be on that 20. After that, it’s time to start weights. Love y’all! Don’t stop! Don’t quit!
i did 100 pushups a day for 30 days. this was my first evet workout i decided to commit... this was the start of my journey. i always felt hard to stick to a plan. but the 30 days in a row made me do it. i dumped in in day 45 since i got consistent with my workout and got the ball rolling. for all those looking to get into fitness, this challenge would be a really good starting point...
I did 100-200 push ups every day and I didn't want to stop. If I was at a red light I wanted to get out and do more. Honestly in a month or less I had explosive amounts of energy also was doing bicep every day. I'm like where did all this energy come from. Haven't done in over 10 years my triceps still solid. Got to start again. The hardest thing is starting but after 3rd day you don't want to stop. IT WORKS!
I remember trying this several years ago for a full year. Agree with everything you said, as I experienced all of the injuries/ setbacks and pain mentioned. I could only start with 30 reps for the first few days and after that I upped it to 40 for the next couple of weeks, eventually I worked my way up pretty quickly over a matter of 2-3 months to be able to do 100 reps in one go. However, I never noticed a difference after a year so I stopped because I was getting enough exercise at work anyway.
Question, were these injuries/serbacks only temporary? If so then how long did they last if you remember? I’m looking into trying this challenge and just need as much information as I need before I actually try it out.
@@LustofRage It was the constant pressure on my wrists and toes keeping them at that awkward angle while doing push-ups. I can't remember how long it lasted for though, but I haven't had any of those pains since I stopped. It could always just be incorrect positioning as well and the fact I didn't wear shoes while doing them. Give it a go anyway, no real harm in trying.
@@guapify2320 There was no plan. Literally after starting from 30 for a few days I had found it to be getting easier to push myself to do more and that eventually led me to doing 100 in one go as I was finding it easy to do that many.
i have been doing 10x3 push-ups for the past 3 months, going to the gym 3 times a week, working back and legs and also started running 2 miles per day. The gains is starting to show, my arms from shoulder down to elbow has doubled in size and under the elbow is getting tighter. Not only has it boosted the exterior but also confidence, im alot happier and got energy for much more than before. 3 months of workout and push-ups has changed my life, cant wait to see results after 6 months.
I did this challenge back in 2020 during the lockdown. 1st two days were fine, the next 3-4 I couldn't finish a 100 pushups even when I spread them through the whole day. Eventually I caught up by the end of the 1st week and was going strong with only slight discomfort in my right elbow near the end. Afterwards, I stopped exercising every day and switched to every other day and the results were much better. Although, after two months the pushups really don't offer much of a challenge any more (unless you do over 200) so I switched to more difficult versions until the lockdown passed and I hit the gym once again.
I always do this type of challenge during the summer months. Ranging from 100-200 push ups daily. This is on top of going to the gym regularly. Wrist pain always happens, but you rest for 2 days and it's good. Great video, thanks.
@@kurtschulten5369 maybe not for you, but you can't argue about my genetics and the results that I get every time. Plus it's a fun challenge for short term success.
@@johnnybyup Short term success? That's the point, Clem. Muscle does not hypertrophy in the short term as the video claims. It's a lie simply for clicks. Fitness misinformation is rampant online and needs to be confronted. I suggest that you take an exercise physiology or a biomechanics class.
@@kurtschulten5369 the video says 30 day challenge. Which is short term. Whether it works for you or not, you can't argue that some people can have success with a 30 day challenge of 100 push ups a day. You will see slight changes in your body. School or no school, there is nothing wrong with the video or the challenge.
@@johnnybyup Fitness is a matter of consistency and patience, not fads and gimmicks that can't be maintained in the long run. I understand that you're naive and inexperienced but you should not be defending such ridiculous claims and such obvious video fitness frauds regardless of your youth. By doing so, you advertise you ignorance and do a disservice to viewers that know no better.
Great video. Someone should do a study on untrained subjects doing 100 push ups a day and another group doing 100 push ups every 3 days. Less reps but more recovery time.
I started at OCTOBER with 50 push-ups a day at the morning (30, 20) cause i can't fatigue my hands cause I work as a General Dentist 9 to 10 ours a day Now is MARCH and i do 120 push-ups (40 30 30 20) My progress was slow - so as results, I haven't taken any suplements, for contruary i cutt carbs. I am glad with the results as they are and I intend to continue for tr rest of my life. I don't care fort PLATEAU as long as it makes me feel for freshned. I'm planing on starting pull-ups at my daily routine very soon ...
I’ve started doing something a bit different. At work, every hour I do 20 pushups. That’s about 160 pushups a day. I’ve been doing it for 3 weeks now and see great results. I also workout 3 times a week for the rest of my body. My max bench press got 10kg higher in these 3 weeks.
This is dangerous i did it without rest, and ended up with an injury on my shoulders 1 year ago, because my rotator cuffs are weak thankfully i am fine now and i train smarter and safer because of that
It happened with you because your muscles were not strong enough, I'm not flexing or anything and tbh I'm skinny myself but 4 months ago i started doing a 100 push ups daily for one month and i saw many changes but now i don't do them everyday
@ohiostateisthebestplace my form's is great i never train without good form, i eat a balanced healthy diet, muscle weakness in the back is what got me besides exercising everyday is extremely dangerous your body builds muscle and strength during sleep exercise counteracts that.
I always enjoy your explanation and background info on each topic, that makes your videos my favorite to watch on exercises. I plan to do 100 sit ups and squats this month (August), but now I will add in the push ups also!
Don’t bother doing 100 sit up, most of the time you end up working the hip flexor instead of your core, try 60 secs hollow body hold instead, it works 10x better than sit up without stressing the lumbar spine, no qualified trainers will ever ask anyone to do sit up anymore.
I started the challenge last year on my 62nd year of age. I noticed it is harder to build the muscles at my age, but by now, a year and 31.300 push ups later, I can feel (and see!) the difference!
How I do my pushups is that I divide them evenly I do 20, then rest for 30 secs I do 20 more, and rest again And I continue until arm and chest failure Hopefully we can all make it to 100 💯
@@aleczander3457 ive had the email associated with my youtube account for 10 years, and I started posting consistenly on June 2022, so i've technically been posting on RUclips for 2 months! More to come!
I’ve done this and am continuing to do this. I definitely have seen massive results in both my chest and abs. I’m a very lean guy. Always have been. I’m 39. I never had a good size chest or one with definition in the middle area. I’m definitely seeing it now. It’s crazy. I do 5 sets of 20. I’m just gonna keep this going. I’m shocked at the results. Love it. Why didn’t I do this before?! Honestly it’s because I didn’t see results in the first week and figured it would take too long so I just quit. But this time I stuck with it and by around week 2 I started seeing them. Now my chest is undoubtedly becoming more defined. Once you actually see results it’s very motivating to keep going. Stick with it. In about 2-3 weeks youlle see a difference. I’m just over a month in.
You did it every day of the month? or had some rest, like from monday to saturday and resting on saturday? Also, you do them fast? or controlled and holding the contraction?
@@paquito4147 I do them everyday and I’m not really sore. I didn’t wanna stop cause I’d fall back into not doing them. But when I do my first set I can feel my muscles getting pulled and love it. But no doubt have I seen the middle chest line finally start to form. But I’m very lean and had no muscle there so if you have to lose weight first not sure how fast it will come in for you. I actually lost a lot of my love handle weight by walking fast with my dog daily and sweating. I was drinking to many beers too so now I have less than one a day while cooking dinner. I’m actually doing my push ups on the picnic table seats. So I’m elevated a bit. I saw a RUclips vid on different styles of push ups. These are suppose to be easier but I still am seeing results. And it’s way easier for me that getting in the dirty floors. I travel around the country in an Rv so I’m always in areas with dirt. So I started doing it with my hands on the bench seat and continued it. I go all the way down and back up at a steady pace. Give myself a 5 minute break then do another 20. Yesterday I took a pic of myself in the camper door reflection and huge difference. Seeing the results makes me wanna continue. Wish you luck too!
I've done 100 push ups every day for that last two months. My size has increased pretty well. I'm very proud of myself. Everything you said in this video checks out from my experience (DOMS first week, fatigue, etc.)
If you rest you will get more growth and it will take less work. You could work up to 100 a day if you did enough pushups to never get sore and slowly increased every day but it's probably best to just go hard then rest then go hard again.
I've already been working out a ton so I've decided to do 100 pushups a day. I've been doing 5 sets of 20 every single morning, I am 17 turning 18 in July. If you're a beginner, I recommend that you give yourself some experience working out before doing this challenge to allow your body to gain strength. If you can, attempt to do 50 a day (10 pushups for 5 sets), rest on weekends, and then keep going. Happy lifting!
Im a 13 year old and i did this challenge for the month of December. Before the challenge, my chest was very weak. I could do ten pushups and then I would be so tired. The experience was very fun though, and I would track my pushups in sets of ten. I even did 3 days going 200 per day just because I felt like it. By the end of the month, you could clearly see my lateral tricep head and my chest had grown significantly larger, and I was also able to do a one hand pushup (still able to).
@@Blaine556 but only pushups though right? I do weighted exercises at home with pair of dumbbells and a barbell. It brought shape but since there's no progressive overload muscles are not growing. Do you reckon me doing only pushups for 30 days will be more beneficial? PS: my pushups are hopeless. Can only do 10-15 at a time.
@@SAAmanat yes I believe it would be more beneficial, just make sure you do all the push-ups in one session with about 2-4 mins rest in between sets. You will see progress in strength and muscle at the end. I started at 15 push-ups max when I first started now I can do about 37 just trust the process and you will succeed brother.
I've already started seeing results in day 20. Conisistency is the key as well as a good amount of sleep and diet if I may add. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@Rahul-kz5fi pecs started getting a little tighter instead of loose. More muscle build on my shoulders and chest. I do use pushup bars to get a little more dip, so that may have helped. But this is just 20 days. On day 30 that's when results got better. Muscles from pecs and shoulders were way tighter then before I started push ups. Now I just gotta keep consistently with it.
I’ve been training to be a Wild land firefighter this year and I do 100-300 push-ups a day and I have been seeing results. I highly recommend others giving it a try. I’ve got a pull up bar coming in the mail as well. I know that muscle growth happens when you tear your muscles and push them to the limit.

I started my weightloss journey in 2018 but didn't lift a thing..just all cardio and yoga pilates. But I have incorporated weight lifting this year. Your contents are great for reference. Keep up the good work 💪🙌
i have been doing push ups for 6 months i started at 60 a day and now im at 250 a day and the changes that happened to are very visible and good specialy my arms and chest and surprisingly even my back and core were developed in the process and i definitely will keep doing them until i reach 500 day because the results were stunning for me and i like push ups very much with right food and right amount of sleep its possible to get jacked with only push ups but u need to modify the way you perform them to find other ways hard ways to do them well thats my experience and it made me very happy
I saw a similar challenge in 2015 and tried it out. I could barely do 5 pushups at first, but eventually got to 150 a day (plus a few other exercises for the rest of mu body). While I did get some muscle definition, it was definitely nothing substantial. I also got most of the side effects mentioned in this video, especially bad posture (constantly leaning forward).
@@userover9000 you might have been leaning your shoulders forward as you were doing pressups rather than retracting your shoulder blades. Many people do pressups just as a part of warm-ups for sport but don't develope issues.
I'm 40 and I've been doing 100 push-up's a day every day since I was 19. I do it on bars to avoid wrist injury, I have seen only positive results in terms of long-term fitness and well-being, recommend :)
1. First two weeks 10x 5 variations morning 2. Next two weeks 10x 5 variations morning and evening 3. Following 2 weeks 10x 5 variations morning, noon, and evening 4. Thereafter alternative day between these two a. 10x 5 variations morning b. 10x 5 variations morning 10x14 variations afternoon. I use a push up board to do different variations of pushups
I do about 80 to 100 pushups a day. I've been doing it for about 2 months now. My face and neck is thinner and my arms and chest have more definition. What's great about pushups is you can do it anywhere. I on my computer almost every hour and thus, when I need to do a break, I do pushups.
Great video on the importance of push-ups a day. Im an advanced weightlifter whose looking to gain more chest size, and am definitely going to incorporate 100 push ups a day into my routine pretty soon, along with my other chest training methods I put together
@@MikeR2111I haven't started 100 pushups a day yet. In the near future I will incorporate it into my chest training tho. I have however done a chest training routine that was very similar to doing 100 pushups a day. I did about 10 pushup variations (diamond pushups, wide grip pushups, V pushups, archer pushups, rear elevated pushups, etc.) for AMRAP in one minute, rest a whole minute, then go to a different pushup variation, and the cycle would repeat until I was done with all my different pushup variations I had. I did that on top of pyramid setting on my flat bench press six days a week. After about two months my chest was definitely slightly more muscular and defined than before I had started. I didn't take actual measurements, but in that little amount of time training my pectorals that way, my chest had to have grown about an inch and a half!

Damn I started doing those cuz I was at a camp with a friend who encouraged me to do it as well. Not a month has passed and I am already seeing results. It is very nice to watch a detalailed video about it. Thanks Jeremy🙏
Thanks @Jeremy! No gimmicks, data back information. Any exercise challenge that does not allow for 24/48 hours of rest & recovery will almost lead to injury and or burn out. Even extensive stretching will be counter productive. Great guidance 🙏
Tell that to most of us that served in the military!! Marines, Army, especially the special forced guys do them every single day!! My best friend’s son is PJ in the Ari Force and is came home looking super jacked because they do 100 s of pushups everyday!!
@@Harlem139Convent1 Army has an issue of survivor bias though. The ones who complete the program and come home at the scheduled time look jacked, because their body can take it. Those whose body can't take it drop out because their body fails. Adequately resting is a lot more important for the average person.
@@EpicSpaniardthose that drop out, or fail are the ones that mentally can’t take it, unless they have some type of physical condition that would prevent them from making it! The mind should always control the body! Im retired Navy SWCC, so i know and understand what the body is capable of doing! We did push-ups, dips, chin-ups every day, and we only got stronger, fit, and looked better!
i did 150 pushups a day for more than a month , i felt that my strength was enormously increased but during my challenge i experienced pain in my shoulder , probably due to wrong form but it fixed during the ending days of the challenge
This is a very excellent and brilliant bro telling about what happen when we do 100 pushups for 30 days and keep it up and keep training hard and be strong always and stay healthy and be positive and happy always but never give up on your dreams and take care of yourself
I did 500 pushups a day 5 years ago for 3 months, 5 days a week 2500 per week. Reps of 50, so roll out of bed 50, brush teeth 50, after breakfast 50, get to work 50, lunchtime 50, leaving work 50, get home 50, have dinner 50, after shower 50 , and last 50 before bed. Honestly felt pretty good but not the gains I expected.👊🏿
I’ve done 500 a day for months it’s aight… 1000 a day will get you right in a week … 5 days of 1000 will have your veins popping!! Body looking great even abs coming in
A coworker asked if I wanted to do a challenge of 5k pushups for the month of March. I excepted the challenge and have taken it to the next level, for me. I’ve been doing 300-400 a day now for four days. I see no slowing down. My ultimate goal is to hit at least 10k this month. After starting Monday 3/1/24 I’m currently at 1125 pushups.
@@LastBastian feeling great! Once I got passed the DOM’s they just got easier. Yes, getting leaner and chest is noticeably getting larger. And of course I couldn’t just do push ups, I had to start doing back workouts to balance things out. And now that the pushups are so easy I’ve been finding different ways to make them harder and more challenging
@@my2cents144 Awesome! Might want to consider switching things up to every other day at some point, depending on your goals, but I hope you stick with it man!
Tried this and it really took a toll on my wrist. Went to the gym instead and made some real gains. Personally I do not recommend the 100 push-ups-a-day challenge as well. Recovery is of utmost importance for gains.
I’ve started doing pushups about a 1 and a half years ago as part of a recovery program after having frozen shoulder syndrome. When I was young I loved doing pushups and did go up to 300 pushups in a day, but that was 40 years ago. I’m now 57. So when I had the shoulder problems, there was a time when I coulda’t do a single pushups. Then I stated slowly with wide pushups with support from knee. I’ve been also doing other exercises and swimming. Slowly moved up and when I reached 100 pushups in one go I decided that it’s time to start doing full wide pushups… started with about 20-25 of those and slowly increased. I can now do 50 to 70 in one go. The exact quantity depends on whether I slept well the previous night and whether I added a little bit of excess weight…this morning I started with 68. Yesterday I did 60 in the morning and another 55 in the afternoon. I know that there is a need for working on the back at the same time, so I do pull downs every day in varying quantities. I’ve never actually felt the muscles to be sore, only on the morning after the previous might’s swimming (I swim 1000m to 1600 and sometimes 2km breaststroke without rest, 3 times a week.) I’d like to mention that I had the opposite effect on my wrists than specialists usually describe. I had an injury several years ago … I fell back when learning rollerscating and strained both wrists. When I started with the pushups, my right wrist was really uncomfortable and somewhat painful, but I persevered and I feel that the pushups actually improved my wrists.
As a woman I can only do 40 "girl pushups" and 8 "man pushups". I will keep trying! I would be amazed if I could do 20 man pushups one day, let alone 100. That would be unreal!
I did this challenge and I was a beginner so I started with 5 sets of 20 push ups throughout my day and I was later able to increase my amount of reps and lower the amount of sets by the end. But overall I noticed an increase in strength and would highly suggest giving it a shot especially for beginners 👍
@@void456plays6 am also going to start this challenge now but mine will be something different i will do 100 for 2 weeks with 1 day gap then increase my reps( do every set till failure) This will be progressive overload + Enough rest for muscle recovery.....Then i will gain strength + size both as well(mainly my target is strength),Do fast pushup for explosiveness and power.
Inspired by this video, I thought I'd give it a try. Started with sets of five with parallettes to reduce the chance of injury (I'm in my early sixties). After five days, switched to sets of ten. After ten days of this switched to sets of five using diamond, knees to elbow, and Hindu pushups to reduce the boredom. Then went to sets of ten once my body got comfortable with the exercises. My wrists turned out to be the weak link in the chain. While I got through it they were "talking" to me the entire time. Also, on days when I did other activities like golf, kettlebell/bulgarian bag etc. I was less stiff. Push-ups alone tended to produce a stiffness that more full body exercises do not. Plan to use more pushups in my daily routine but avoid doing 100 reps on a daily basis. That written, glad I did it and am happy with the results in terms of strength.
Been doing a 100 push ups a day for a week now but the way I do it is different. I know that probably couldn’t do 100 straight one time so I spread it out throughout the day. 20 in the morning 60 throughout the day and 20 before bed. Even though it’s only been a week, I can say that I have seen some slightly improvements in my upper body. Still have a long way to go though before I reach 30 days.
I have started doing 50 a day too , but then I find it very difficult a certain times to get myself back up . my arms lose strength and sometimes I wonder if this what I am doing is really helping my body , like am i doing it right . could you suggest me anything on how to keep up
Anyone that thinks 100 pushups seems like too much. Please read this. I was always very active in my youth but never went to the gym. I was big on running hiking biking swimming and martial arts. Always wanted to go to the gym but couldn't motivate myself to do it. The other activities were fun to me so it was easier to get into running or biking when I love being outside. So I started breaking up my workout into pieces throughout the day. I'd wake up and do a set of 20 to 30 pushups. Brush my teeth eat etc then do another set. Then maybe do a set of situps before I leave for work. I made sure I did at least 3 sets of whatever I did. Amd by the end of my day I had completely 3 to 6 different exercises and 3 to 4 sets of each. Essentially an entire workout that would have taken me a solid hour or more at the gym. I found myself gaining results. And it almost felt like I was cheating. Like I was getting results without doing an actual 1 to 1.5 hour gym experience. Once you see results in yourself it really triggers the desire to keep going. It created discipline, and exercise will infact give you more energy. Meaning the more you work out the more energy capability you will have. So after while going to the gym became much easier. If going to the gym is very difficult to get yourself to do and procrastination is an issue like myself. Try breaking your workout up into segments throughout the day. It's only 30 seconds to do one set of pushups. Just do the 30 seconds. Then later again!
I did the 100 push ups a day challenge for the kids of St. Jude. However some days I took a one day break to heal, and bounced back to do 254 the next day. The results were amazing. But I must admit, I need to work on my form because my lower back was shot after the month was over. Thank you for your contributions and educational tutorials. God Bless, Semper Fidelis!
I do 80 - 100 pushups with every workout, which is about 6 days/week. I've eased into this over a period of probably 6-8 months starting by doing 1 set of 25 per day, which became a set of 25 + a set of 10, then 25 + 20, then 25+ 20 + 10 etc until my current routine which is 25 + 25 + 15 + 15 OR 25 + 25 + 25 + 15 +10. I've noticed that over this 6-8 months I can see development in my upper chest, front of my shoulders, core, pretty much what you'd expect. The results are not dramatic but i do it for core strength and a bit of explosive chest strength (for boxing). If you want more muscle growth you should probably get to a point where you can do 200 push ups in 10 - 15 minutes, then do this only once or twice a week. I think you'd get more hypertrophy that way, not necessarily strength, but it would help you look pretty good.
I have been doing a couple hundred raised push ups for a few months during Corona and honestly, the results are great. But you have to absolutely nail the form and incorporate some variants to mix it up, like archer push ups etc. to keep up the challenge. Would I recommend doing 100 push ups a day? As a challenge, absolutely, as a substitute for a balanced workout, no way.
I have started doing 50 a day too , but then I find it very difficult a certain times to get myself back up . my arms lose strength and sometimes I wonder if this what I am doing is really helping my body , like am i doing it right . could you suggest me anything on how to keep up
@@amarshetty389 Take longer breaks for a start. An intense, explosive workout has its own merits but sometimes it helps a lot to rest for 2-3 minutes when you want to really push yourself and especially when you are trying to improve, many studies have shown that it helps to improve - the only downside is that it takes more time. Also, keep in mind that while you will get stronger eventually, there is no magic fix and not being able to go further is usually actually a good sign that you are on the right track. As long as your form is excellent ( focus on really pushing up all the way while sort of flexing the muscles as much as possible when you are at the lowest and the highest point but I would ask google or perhaps a very trustworthy AI for the exact form since it’s a bit difficult for me to translate ), you are doing everything right and just need a bit more patience. Something that helped me a lot in general when it comes to form was to train the mind muscle connection - take your arm while you are for example standing and do the movement while focusing on the muscle groups in question, perhaps even feel the tension with your hand. One last thing: focus on slowly reaching further than your initial mental breaking point, the exact rep range doesn’t matter as much as much as that you really go slightly further than your comfort zone, even if you have to basically do “drop” sets ( in this case, do 10 clean ones and despite despite feeling maxed out, do another 5 and finally an additional 3 - keep in mind that the numbers I am giving you are not written in stone but more like a vague guideline of scale that should fit your current / future ability and be personalised to fit your needs ). Conclusion: Push ups ( body weight exercises in general ) are a bit unforgiving that way because unlike anything done with weights, you can’t just up the difficulty in small steps as easily and doing new variants/additional exercises without having gotten significantly stronger ( or heavier ) is difficult too. Basically, you are on the right track. Sleep/eat/rest enough and you should get better. PS: Please, keep in mind that while I am experienced, I am not someone who studied this BUT tbh., working out isn’t all that difficult ( I warmly recommend a video by a dude named NeoShred titled “looking fit is easy/free workouts”. It’s not a click bait. I used to overthink my training routine way when I really got into personal fitness yet honestly, it really is “easy”. When you watch enough content, you will hopefully get what I mean by that, if you haven’t already done so on your own.
i salute your hustle Sir. First time ive saw your video lol. 5.47 million subs , and a fitness app. Damn you really are killing it ! ;) Hope you all the success in the future. You're an inspiration to the youth of today!
I have been doing 100 pushups a day for a month and I have definitely seen a difference. My chest is more defined and I can see my shoulder vein without a pump witch I could not see when I started. It is actually a lot easier than it seems.
I’ve actually done the challenge and I noticed first week was hard but it gets easier each week after I was done with the challenge it grew my muscles and increased how many I could do in a row by almost 30 also helps your form a lot
I have started doing 50 a day too , but then I find it very difficult a certain times to get myself back up . my arms lose strength and sometimes I wonder if this what I am doing is really helping my body , like am i doing it right . could you suggest me anything on how to keep up
So I’m going to try this out. Are there any tips for faster muscle recovery, or more muscle growth throughout the process like any supplements I could take? Would creatine counteract the inability of longer muscle recovery?
it all depends on your fitness rate if ur strugling to do 8 pushups in a row u should defenetly not aim to do 100 a day if ur able to do 25/30 pushups in a row than going for 100 is np. Note in order to improve your stamina/strenght u need to do more than u can meaning u need to start feeling ur arms shaking and soar before ur done with ur working and yes doing pushups everyday is not good what i do is i do a 5km run 1 day the other day i do pushups and repeat 1 day cardio 1 day strenght training u will have significant improvement in 2 months u wont be able to recognize urself if ur a beginer. Note dont do a 5km run if ur out of shape doing 1/2km run is still good your goal should be to feel tired afther the run not injure yourself.
No no no no. if you are new to working out you have 3 things. Your workout program, nutrition, and sleep. If you don't eat or like greens maybe a vegetable supplement yeah or vitamins? Don't worry about it. And as for Creatine you would need to stay on it to keep benefits also it takes 2-4 weeks for creatine to really start working. Unless you plan on really taking fitness seriously don't worry about anything but the holy Trinity Workout eat and sleep.

⭐I actually started the 100 push-ups a day challenge on July 1st so it's been one month so far and the results have been great. I started 100 sit-ups a day on January 1st of this year and same thing, great results. Consistency is the key. The most important thing that I've gained is discipline.
Could you tell me your diet plan? Did u change your foods or do u still eat the same thing? And also how long do u wait after excercising to eat and vise verca
This! Same experience for me, the discipline literally changed my life. 100 push ups every morning structured my morning routine, enabled more focus, better performance at work, ADD gone …
How did it affect your bench press?
Won't that over exert your muscles? Why not have 2 daya a week for chest, legs and abdomen, 1 day rest?
100 push ups at once or in a full day
Been doing 100 pushups a day (Mon-Fri) for a few months now. Started by doing 5 sets of 10 reps a day on week one, adding a few more each week until I got to 100 a day after 5 weeks. Last Friday, I was feeling extra energetic, so I did 200 pushups that day. This is in addition to my regular daily (Mon-Sat) workouts. I'm 52 years old, 6'3" and 260 pounds. If I can do it, so can you. It helps that in my head I think of the pushups as "just something I do" and not part of my workout.
Unfortunately you have plateaued. At this point no gains and no adaptation. Time to switch it up.
100 a day? Yeah sure.

Yes. The mental part is the biggest challenge.
Very educational and helpful.
My workout program: 4 on 1 off repeat - 3-4 weeks then add intensity, weights, reps etc.
Monday: Chest & Back + Abs - Pushups, Pullups [different variations and reps]
Tuesday: Cardio/Jogging / stairs or Plyometrics
Wednesday: Shoulders & Triceps + Biceps + Abs - free weights, curls, hammer curls, shoulder presses, tricep extensions etc.
Thursday: Legs - free weights / squats etc. (if my legs still sore from Tuesday, < rest day
Friday: Rest Day < if took rest day on Thursday, I will do legs on Friday
Saturday Chest + Back + Abs
Sunday - cardio etc.
Rest is a Must, Form is always King, no Ego lifting - when you feel like you can't just do one more,
You do NOT need all these new fancy workouts, supplements etc.
Old way is still best, pushups, pullups, curls, hammer curls etc.
if you do not have weights use < Bucket/bag/bookbag filled with water bottles etc.
Def. invest into a pull up bar.
Know your nutrition and goals < very important.
For supplements I use whey protein: Creatine Monohydrate Powder 5g and Authentic Whey Muscle Building Whey Protein Powder both from Jacked Factory Store (no they don't pay me, if you put in a good work maybe they will? lol )
I have not had any negative side effects etc. ALWAYS research what ingredients the supplement you use has in it.
If it has a minimum/ low % of being a negative side effect. ex. hurts kidneys etc. what I do is counter it, so I will add Chicken Liver to my meals.
This is what works for me, everyone is different etc.
Thank you for taking the time reading this.

I've been doing 20 push ups in a day for 4 months now and I have also improved my diet,the results are amazing,I think it's not about how many you can do in a day,but how consistent you are and also inprove your diet,trust me you will be amazed.
Yes it is right but unless you push your limits by increasing the reps you will lose interest in doing it after your body can't improve with only that many pushups
@abhishekgaikwad1069 Yes that's true,consistency is key.
The total amount actually does not matter for muscle grows. It matters to exhaust the muscle to signal the body to grow more muscles. For obese people who never did pushups 10-20 push ups even on knees can be a great exhausting workout. Other people do 100 push ups a day with ease and won't get more growth without increasing the stress with higher difficultie variations or more reps.
Does it boost testosterone
@@BobbyBeattie-mb3dk To my knowledge,testosterone can be improved by having a proper diet and exercise,so i believe it would increase it most especially if you eat the right things.But i feel stronger and better and doing it daily has also helped me become more disciplined,because they are days i wake up feeling lethargic but i still do it and it's an approach I've implemented in other spheres of my life.
Ive been doing the 100 pushups a day since i was 15, im 20 now and never understood why i had a bit of a hunch. I didnt do too many back workouts till i was about 19, now i do pullups everyday too.

Been doing this for a good two and a half months now. I started at 5 sets of 20 reps , now i usually do 3-5 sets of 50 reps . Triceps and chest are noticeably larger and I generally just feel much stronger and energetic. Was kinda hard staying motivated but after a month or so it just became a part of my day.
There has been studies that show after 21 consecutive days of doing something, the brain forms the habit to do so. So easier to find the energy to do so

How much time do you give yourself between sets?
I tried this challenge exactly one year ago, and now I am currently sitting at 250 pushups everyday. I remember the first week being absolutely hell, and it only got harder. But after two or three weeks, I felt my strength increase drastically. Supper effective challenge
daaaammmnnn 250 is insane how many reps do you do in each set
@@ilovemilfs69420 bro it's really not that much, I mean it's still way more than I could lmao, but my friend went from frail to ripped with (mostly) push-ups, but he progressively did more, and after just a few months he was hitting like 500-800 _a day_ . I must say that it dramatically changed his looks for the better tho - he's stopped working out years ago, and you can still see it on him when he takes a shirt off. I hadn't asked specifically, but I presume he ate much more and probably more healthy, considering his results were as if he was in the gym for about the same time. So I think it comes down to consistency + good progressive overload + good diet.
Amazing
Any breakfast effective challenge ideas?
How many days in a row should I do it before a rest day
This video idea is what many people have been searching for. Thanks for this!
I just completed a one week push-up challenge and over the course of a week did 940 pushups and I totally agree with what you said about getting weaker towards the end of the month (or week as mine was compounded) thanks for making this video and sharing your information I’m glad I came across this!

Thats why recovery days are crucial
Only do it 2-3 times a week. Recovery is key after you feel healed there so easy!! You can keep upping the number , plus you can do more consistently!
@@SuperSickNerd I did 1 day off 1 day in and even if the muscle didn't fully recover it feels great as 1 day is enough to ease the excessive tension in the muscles so we are ready to exercise again after a day of rest I feel much lighter done 500+ reps for 10 days
It may seem crazy but am a felon and spent some time in the hole (solitary confinement) out of boredom i was doing a basic workout till one day i got motivated wanted to get bigger after i notice my chest and tricep getting bigger for a few weeks i was doing 1000 push up a day sets of 20 of course i did it after a span of the day thru wake up till lights out and I seen progress and it did me good but I had plenty of time of course and good form was a big help that's why am watching this video today because I wanted to work out again and remember my time incarcerated thanks for your time reading this guys have a good day stay bless and get at it

I began the 100 pushups per day on May the 1st and i`m still doing them - Matter of fact i raised them to 150 - 200 per day. I usually do them as a warm up for my regular workout. i´m 57 and it got me well defined on my chest area and enlarged my triceps.
Lol
@@wintersotero9749 ???
Can you tell me how do it till you get to 100.do you take break or you do it continuously
I do pushups between sets and it's been a game changer. Between 50-150 per day. I've had some nasty snapping/popping elbows for my whole life. My ulnar nerve snaps over the bone on both of them. Docs basically tell me to F off, cause they can't do anything. I was worried so many pushups would make things much worse, but I feel like everything is becoming better "seated" in my elbows. I actually can do skullcrushers without my arms going pins and needles after I'm done...
but how do you rest because with rest it will grow stronger and bigger
This challenge changed my life but I also do Superman back flys to keep my posture right & bicycle for my abs. These three core exercises got me looking like a beast without doing much work. Just a little everyday goes a long way!
The bicycle kicks for core training is a killer workout but very effective.
I started a push-up routine about 1.5 years ago and worked up to doing 3 sets of regular pushups (60 reps x 3), 3 sets of incline pushups (60 reps x 3), and 3 sets of decline pushups (60 reps x 3), for a total of over 500 push-ups per day. This was sustainable on a daily basis. However, I decided this was a bit extreme, so I spaced out my push-up routines to every other day. As a 63-year-old male (180 lbs, 5' 9"), my body shape, muscle size, and tone were great motivators. As I backed off the push-ups (and other things, i.e., shoulder press, inverted row, lateral arm raises, etc.) to 2-3x/week, I seemed to maintain my physique, but noticed fairly consistently that almost always after two days of rest, I began to feel sore more frequently. Now, I can do 100 consecutive push-ups with good form, non-stop, but can tell that's almost my limit. I doubt I could do that daily at my age without injuring something.
I have been doing 100 a day since the 5th of jan this year, and im not quiting. I have grown so much that i now have stretch marks on the front of my shoulders.
I recomend anyone to do this challenge cuz it not only helps you physicly but its been helping me mentaly (discipline), i plan to do this until at least the 5th of jan next year
Edit: i just found out that i have done 4000 push-ups by now on the dot
well done mate, just one question did you make any changes to your diet?
@@kavarou ive been eating much more protien and carbohydrates for energy and recovery
Ive done 50 pushups a day coming up to 2 years now without missing a day. There has been a massive change but i did have to continually improve my form because at first my sternum would pop from time to time and i had back pain. These issues have since gone since i perfected my form. With perfect form I would say this is a really good alternative to bench pressing.
I can do push-ups easy but can’t bench my own weight …
Love how thorough this is. Just as much coverage of the challenges as the benefits.
Yeah it’s really good
Who enjoyed the animations, the charts, the science and the whole thing! The production quality is so sweet for the eyes
I've been doing 100 push-ups a day since November of 2022 for some good cause. It's become a habit and I haven't stopped. No injuries. It becomes a whole lot easier. I am able to do 100 in a row now and feel stronger, more confident, and it only takes a few minutes every day! Highly recommend.
Is there an increase in muscle mass? Bigger shoulders? Arms?
@@CountOfMonteCristo_ more toned upper arm muscles and chest, lower torso pain around the waist has disappeared.
@@CountOfMonteCristo_yea its not that intense so its not that bad… u just need to give your muscles 48 hours at least to relax
Started with a measly 10 pushups per day. After 4 months its 60/day. Upper body strength has increased, forearms feel stronger. Also focussed on the posture as per your video and to my surprise, height increased by an inch.
Now I'm getting used to pseudo-planch and archer pushups. Along with that, crunches and oblique muscles are also in focus.
You’re awesome dude, I’m basically at the level you started lol
You sure you grew an inch?
@@jasonmarshall4522 Yep. But that's basically due to the posture. I'm not sure I can grow physically.... I'm 22.
I find your videos very educational throughout the years. I’d like to mention that i had done 200 push ups a day for around 3 weeks. I did 4x50 everyday, some days 2x100 and the results were pretty good considering I hardly ain’t no more than 1200cals. I did get a lot of sourness but it’s 100% worth doing it! The enjoyment of reaching your goal keeps you going back for more
1200 cals? Wtf!?
"Sourness" lmao should've read a book
I did 100 press-ups 5 times a week in my 20s. It changed my arm definition and chest definition. I’m female and now 60 on my next birthday. I can still do 100 press ups and everyone is jealous of my arm shape and my abs. So does it work ? Definitely! Combine with abs and lunges and squats for an all over workout.
Amanda you are a legend keep going
How about some weighted push ups would be pretty cool

Thanks Jeremy. Can you please add the stretching excersizes after the heavy push up session. That would be very helpful for beginners
More importantly You should stretch before doing push-ups
Good idea.
@@drews0n no. Surprisingly not. Recent studies show that stretching before working out or other physical activities are not only counterproductive, but could also be harmful. I know it’s strange to hear. I grew up playing sports and we’d spend a minimum of 15 min before practice and games just stretching. I was very surprised when I found this out as well
@@fourdubs4 No those studies are complete bs in he world today nothing is ever true. stretching ur legs muscles warming them up before a run will significantly lower the chance of u getting injured than waking up walking outside and start running. this works for every type of workout.
@@fourdubs4 that makes no sense
My two cents if you're going to do this:
- Rest on the weekend.
- Do pullups, face pulls, cuban presses, and external rotation exercises with laying on your side a few times a week so that you counter imbalances.
- Pick one day during the week to do a full body workout.
This should give you good results, I think.
You know nothing
@@gabriel1095 Great argument, champ lol. If you have some valid points, make them. You literally have said jack shit.
i have been doing 100 push ups a day for a week. I love it. I do fasting for at least 16 hours a day and doing push ups, running etc.
I'm up to 50 push-ups per set, 3 sets a day, as part of my daily routine. No more gym's, just a simple HITT circuit. 60 squats/50 push-ups/30 ab circles/30 crunches/20 leg raises/20 pull-ups. 7 days a week.
Great....keep doing bro
🐐
how's ur progress?
really curious about your progress ? your cores are now visible through your belly ?
Holy cow!
I am actually doing this challenge plus 150 squats and 100 abs. The gains are insane, its not as difficult since I have been doing home workouts for 2 years. I think forcing too much is not good, eat well and going progressively and consistently with time will make it easier.
👍
I have recently started working out myself. I planned on trying this challenge and seeing for myself, what results I can achieve.
Therefore I am glad to have seen this video, and I can’t wait for the optimized version to come out. I really want to get the most out of my training, without wasting any potential muscle growth.
I very much appreciate your videos, since they are informative, as well as motivative!
Best of luck on your fitness endeavors! If you have any questions, the comment section of Jeremy's channel would be happy to help.

@@walkerwalkerr7295 hello, thanks for asking. After doing pushups 4 times times a week, I mainly experienced an increase in number of pushups I can do.

Just finished watching 'What Happens To Your Body After 100 Push-Ups a Day For 30 Days' and I'm genuinely impressed and motivated! The transformation and dedication it takes to stick with such a rigorous routine are truly commendable. It's incredible to see the physical changes and the improvement in overall strength and endurance over just a month. This video not only showcases the power of consistency but also inspires viewers to challenge themselves and see what they're capable of achieving. The detailed explanation of the process and the visible results really highlight the benefits of push-ups as a fundamental exercise. Definitely considering taking on this challenge myself!
I did this when I was in university, 20yo, no gym, results were amazing. At a later phase I was doing it with a backpack full of books on to add weight 😂😂 And I'm sure that contributed for my body shape nowadays! In terms of exercise/look it was the best thing I did after starting calithenics 5 years later. I'm 29 now, stronger than ever 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
did u see any obvious changes in strength or visible muscles without gym ?
@@dragz4life422 I definitely did and it was super motivating between the first and second already! Chest started to be larger and popping up. But I guess it will depend if you're a completely beginner and how old are you

best of luck bro 🙏
@@TheLonelyX thanks
In order to improve your stamina/strenght u need to push yourself over what u feel confortable. But again dont overdoo it.
I think pushups work more muscle mass than Bench presses..abs, back muscles, thugh extensors, all to keep the body straight. I can knock off 35-40 on a good day.. but go to about 3 reps short of failure on several sets. They work. Do pullups with these, and go back to back .. so push, pull, etc.. but every day? Makes no sense.. Muscle grows on recovery day..
@ehthra5924 Just keep working .. There will be days you feel like saying what the h--? and THOSE are the days you need to push through. Tip: Don't over train. You don't have to get like 'Arnold' just be the best that God intended to be.. Bottom line, you feel great
I started this challenge at the start of the school year, but at first I couldn't do all 100, so I slowly worked up to it and now I can do 100 pushups (I do it in 4 sets). I've seen a lot of gains, and I'm going to continue to this as a daily routine.
Bro can I do the same like 4 set of 25 rep in 1 hour gap
@@shaad9602 Of course, thats better!
I used to do 200 pushups and 100 chin ups a day. I did it for a year and I felt great and had good results. I stopped working out for years and I believe that this year helped me have an athletic body for years after.
200 pushups are impressive already but 100 chin ups everyday?😭 you deserve the long term gains
Mad respect. Both super impressive, both goals I have.
My fourth month now. It has become a habit. I'm addicted to the shape I'm in now fitness wise. I don't want to lose it ever
If you’re like me and over 40 trying to get back into it. Do it right. Hit your 10 sets of 10 push-ups your first week on Monday and Wednesday. Sit-ups Tuesday and Friday. After the first week you will be able to get to either 15-20 reps per set. Do the same workouts same days but push for those higher reps the 2nd week. Third week push for that 20rep/set. 4th week you should be on that 20. After that, it’s time to start weights. Love y’all! Don’t stop! Don’t quit!
Just started today. 10 push ups every hour for 10 hours. No excuses!
thats insane bro🤣🤣

Not really thats 100 pushups. But lowkey bro just lazy lol@Sheinplug3617
That’s a great idea if you think about it specifically if you have joint problems or you’re just beginning.
i did 100 pushups a day for 30 days. this was my first evet workout i decided to commit... this was the start of my journey. i always felt hard to stick to a plan. but the 30 days in a row made me do it. i dumped in in day 45 since i got consistent with my workout and got the ball rolling. for all those looking to get into fitness, this challenge would be a really good starting point...
I did 100-200 push ups every day and I didn't want to stop. If I was at a red light I wanted to get out and do more. Honestly in a month or less I had explosive amounts of energy also was doing bicep every day. I'm like where did all this energy come from. Haven't done in over 10 years my triceps still solid. Got to start again. The hardest thing is starting but after 3rd day you don't want to stop. IT WORKS!
I remember trying this several years ago for a full year. Agree with everything you said, as I experienced all of the injuries/ setbacks and pain mentioned. I could only start with 30 reps for the first few days and after that I upped it to 40 for the next couple of weeks, eventually I worked my way up pretty quickly over a matter of 2-3 months to be able to do 100 reps in one go. However, I never noticed a difference after a year so I stopped because I was getting enough exercise at work anyway.
Question, were these injuries/serbacks only temporary? If so then how long did they last if you remember? I’m looking into trying this challenge and just need as much information as I need before I actually try it out.
@@LustofRage It was the constant pressure on my wrists and toes keeping them at that awkward angle while doing push-ups. I can't remember how long it lasted for though, but I haven't had any of those pains since I stopped. It could always just be incorrect positioning as well and the fact I didn't wear shoes while doing them. Give it a go anyway, no real harm in trying.
What was your pushup workout plan to be able to do 100 in one go? Thanks
@@guapify2320 There was no plan. Literally after starting from 30 for a few days I had found it to be getting easier to push myself to do more and that eventually led me to doing 100 in one go as I was finding it easy to do that many.
i have been doing 10x3 push-ups for the past 3 months, going to the gym 3 times a week, working back and legs and also started running 2 miles per day. The gains is starting to show, my arms from shoulder down to elbow has doubled in size and under the elbow is getting tighter. Not only has it boosted the exterior but also confidence, im alot happier and got energy for much more than before. 3 months of workout and push-ups has changed my life, cant wait to see results after 6 months.
I did this challenge back in 2020 during the lockdown. 1st two days were fine, the next 3-4 I couldn't finish a 100 pushups even when I spread them through the whole day. Eventually I caught up by the end of the 1st week and was going strong with only slight discomfort in my right elbow near the end. Afterwards, I stopped exercising every day and switched to every other day and the results were much better. Although, after two months the pushups really don't offer much of a challenge any more (unless you do over 200) so I switched to more difficult versions until the lockdown passed and I hit the gym once again.
I always do this type of challenge during the summer months. Ranging from 100-200 push ups daily. This is on top of going to the gym regularly.
Wrist pain always happens, but you rest for 2 days and it's good.

@@kurtschulten5369 maybe not for you, but you can't argue about my genetics and the results that I get every time. Plus it's a fun challenge for short term success.

Great video. Someone should do a study on untrained subjects doing 100 push ups a day and another group doing 100 push ups every 3 days. Less reps but more recovery time.

I'm planing on starting pull-ups at my daily routine very soon ...
I’ve started doing something a bit different. At work, every hour I do 20 pushups. That’s about 160 pushups a day. I’ve been doing it for 3 weeks now and see great results. I also workout 3 times a week for the rest of my body. My max bench press got 10kg higher in these 3 weeks.
Could I do this while working out 6x a week with a 1 day rest in between?
Love you Jeremy cause you improve me every video 🥰
This is dangerous i did it without rest, and ended up with an injury on my shoulders 1 year ago, because my rotator cuffs are weak thankfully i am fine now and i train smarter and safer because of that

That’s crazy I do 500 🥴
@ohiostateisthebestplace my form's is great i never train without good form, i eat a balanced healthy diet, muscle weakness in the back is what got me besides exercising everyday is extremely dangerous your body builds muscle and strength during sleep exercise counteracts that.
I always enjoy your explanation and background info on each topic, that makes your videos my favorite to watch on exercises. I plan to do 100 sit ups and squats this month (August), but now I will add in the push ups also!
Don’t bother doing 100 sit up, most of the time you end up working the hip flexor instead of your core, try 60 secs hollow body hold instead, it works 10x better than sit up without stressing the lumbar spine, no qualified trainers will ever ask anyone to do sit up anymore.

don’t forget the 10 km run

If you're a beginner, I recommend that you give yourself some experience working out before doing this challenge to allow your body to gain strength. If you can, attempt to do 50 a day (10 pushups for 5 sets), rest on weekends, and then keep going. Happy lifting!
Im a 13 year old and i did this challenge for the month of December. Before the challenge, my chest was very weak. I could do ten pushups and then I would be so tired. The experience was very fun though, and I would track my pushups in sets of ten. I even did 3 days going 200 per day just because I felt like it. By the end of the month, you could clearly see my lateral tricep head and my chest had grown significantly larger, and I was also able to do a one hand pushup (still able to).

Better do weighted pushups instead of 500. That is way too much to be useful, if not harmful

Samething for me. But after watching the video, I'll mix between high bar and push ups because I don't want to see me back lean forward 😂
Great video on the importance of push-ups a day. Im an advanced weightlifter whose looking to gain more chest size, and am definitely going to incorporate 100 push ups a day into my routine pretty soon, along with my other chest training methods I put together
How’s it going btw I just wanna know if you have seen results
I’m also curious about your progress
@@MikeR2111I haven't started 100 pushups a day yet. In the near future I will incorporate it into my chest training tho. I have however done a chest training routine that was very similar to doing 100 pushups a day. I did about 10 pushup variations (diamond pushups, wide grip pushups, V pushups, archer pushups, rear elevated pushups, etc.) for AMRAP in one minute, rest a whole minute, then go to a different pushup variation, and the cycle would repeat until I was done with all my different pushup variations I had. I did that on top of pyramid setting on my flat bench press six days a week. After about two months my chest was definitely slightly more muscular and defined than before I had started. I didn't take actual measurements, but in that little amount of time training my pectorals that way, my chest had to have grown about an inch and a half!

Thanks @Jeremy!
No gimmicks, data back information. Any exercise challenge that does not allow for 24/48 hours of rest & recovery will almost lead to injury and or burn out. Even extensive stretching will be counter productive. Great guidance 🙏
Tell that to most of us that served in the military!! Marines, Army, especially the special forced guys do them every single day!! My best friend’s son is PJ in the Ari Force and is came home looking super jacked because they do 100 s of pushups everyday!!
@@Harlem139Convent1 Army has an issue of survivor bias though. The ones who complete the program and come home at the scheduled time look jacked, because their body can take it. Those whose body can't take it drop out because their body fails. Adequately resting is a lot more important for the average person.
@@EpicSpaniardthose that drop out, or fail are the ones that mentally can’t take it, unless they have some type of physical condition that would prevent them from making it! The mind should always control the body! Im retired Navy SWCC, so i know and understand what the body is capable of doing! We did push-ups, dips, chin-ups every day, and we only got stronger, fit, and looked better!
i did 150 pushups a day for more than a month , i felt that my strength was enormously increased but during my challenge i experienced pain in my shoulder , probably due to wrong form but it fixed during the ending days of the challenge
i am 15 i have been doing 1oo pushups for 60 days now and i can easily recommend it to anyone who wants to build muscle but doesnt have any equipment
This is a very excellent and brilliant bro telling about what happen when we do 100 pushups for 30 days and keep it up and keep training hard and be strong always and stay healthy and be positive and happy always but never give up on your dreams and take care of yourself

I did 500 pushups a day 5 years ago for 3 months, 5 days a week 2500 per week.
Reps of 50, so roll out of bed 50, brush teeth 50, after breakfast 50, get to work 50, lunchtime 50, leaving work 50, get home 50, have dinner 50, after shower 50 , and last 50 before bed. Honestly felt pretty good but not the gains I expected.👊🏿

A coworker asked if I wanted to do a challenge of 5k pushups for the month of March. I excepted the challenge and have taken it to the next level, for me. I’ve been doing 300-400 a day now for four days. I see no slowing down. My ultimate goal is to hit at least 10k this month. After starting Monday 3/1/24 I’m currently at 1125 pushups.
How'd you do?

Tried this and it really took a toll on my wrist. Went to the gym instead and made some real gains. Personally I do not recommend the 100 push-ups-a-day challenge as well. Recovery is of utmost importance for gains.
week one in currently! learnt something here thank you :)
I feel good when i do my push ups!
How's hour workout routine now?
Ive been on a 1 month grind and i can say that it really has made my muscles bigger
I’ve started doing pushups about a 1 and a half years ago as part of a recovery program after having frozen shoulder syndrome. When I was young I loved doing pushups and did go up to 300 pushups in a day, but that was 40 years ago. I’m now 57. So when I had the shoulder problems, there was a time when I coulda’t do a single pushups. Then I stated slowly with wide pushups with support from knee. I’ve been also doing other exercises and swimming. Slowly moved up and when I reached 100 pushups in one go I decided that it’s time to start doing full wide pushups… started with about 20-25 of those and slowly increased. I can now do 50 to 70 in one go. The exact quantity depends on whether I slept well the previous night and whether I added a little bit of excess weight…this morning I started with 68. Yesterday I did 60 in the morning and another 55 in the afternoon. I know that there is a need for working on the back at the same time, so I do pull downs every day in varying quantities. I’ve never actually felt the muscles to be sore, only on the morning after the previous might’s swimming (I swim 1000m to 1600 and sometimes 2km breaststroke without rest, 3 times a week.) I’d like to mention that I had the opposite effect on my wrists than specialists usually describe. I had an injury several years ago … I fell back when learning rollerscating and strained both wrists. When I started with the pushups, my right wrist was really uncomfortable and somewhat painful, but I persevered and I feel that the pushups actually improved my wrists.
As a woman I can only do 40 "girl pushups" and 8 "man pushups". I will keep trying! I would be amazed if I could do 20 man pushups one day, let alone 100. That would be unreal!
I believe in u
What's girl pushups? Is it like knee pushups?
@@avatar_bro Yes
@@monkehotdogs2227 Thank you!
Yes, set your own goals
I did this challenge and I was a beginner so I started with 5 sets of 20 push ups throughout my day and I was later able to increase my amount of reps and lower the amount of sets by the end. But overall I noticed an increase in strength and would highly suggest giving it a shot especially for beginners 👍
Did you take any breaks while doing the challenge?
@@void456plays6 am also going to start this challenge now but mine will be something different i will do 100 for 2 weeks with 1 day gap then increase my reps( do every set till failure) This will be progressive overload + Enough rest for muscle recovery.....Then i will gain strength + size both as well(mainly my target is strength),Do fast pushup for explosiveness and power.
I swear I just googled this an hour ago and you delivered as always Jeremy 👏

Inspired by this video, I thought I'd give it a try. Started with sets of five with parallettes to reduce the chance of injury (I'm in my early sixties). After five days, switched to sets of ten. After ten days of this switched to sets of five using diamond, knees to elbow, and Hindu pushups to reduce the boredom. Then went to sets of ten once my body got comfortable with the exercises. My wrists turned out to be the weak link in the chain. While I got through it they were "talking" to me the entire time. Also, on days when I did other activities like golf, kettlebell/bulgarian bag etc. I was less stiff. Push-ups alone tended to produce a stiffness that more full body exercises do not. Plan to use more pushups in my daily routine but avoid doing 100 reps on a daily basis. That written, glad I did it and am happy with the results in terms of strength.
Thanks bro. Thanks for giving me hope. I like that you give reasons and answers on what will happen every week.
Been doing a 100 push ups a day for a week now but the way I do it is different. I know that probably couldn’t do 100 straight one time so I spread it out throughout the day.
20 in the morning 60 throughout the day and 20 before bed. Even though it’s only been a week, I can say that I have seen some slightly improvements in my upper body.
Still have a long way to go though before I reach 30 days.
Progress update??
I have started doing 50 a day too , but then I find it very difficult a certain times to get myself back up . my arms lose strength and sometimes I wonder if this what I am doing is really helping my body , like am i doing it right . could you suggest me anything on how to keep up
😊😊
Anyone that thinks 100 pushups seems like too much. Please read this. I was always very active in my youth but never went to the gym. I was big on running hiking biking swimming and martial arts. Always wanted to go to the gym but couldn't motivate myself to do it. The other activities were fun to me so it was easier to get into running or biking when I love being outside. So I started breaking up my workout into pieces throughout the day. I'd wake up and do a set of 20 to 30 pushups. Brush my teeth eat etc then do another set. Then maybe do a set of situps before I leave for work. I made sure I did at least 3 sets of whatever I did. Amd by the end of my day I had completely 3 to 6 different exercises and 3 to 4 sets of each. Essentially an entire workout that would have taken me a solid hour or more at the gym. I found myself gaining results. And it almost felt like I was cheating. Like I was getting results without doing an actual 1 to 1.5 hour gym experience. Once you see results in yourself it really triggers the desire to keep going. It created discipline, and exercise will infact give you more energy. Meaning the more you work out the more energy capability you will have. So after while going to the gym became much easier. If going to the gym is very difficult to get yourself to do and procrastination is an issue like myself. Try breaking your workout up into segments throughout the day. It's only 30 seconds to do one set of pushups. Just do the 30 seconds. Then later again!
Just a question did you do it everyday and do you think it can fix gynocomastia?
I wanna start but I wanna know for sure I'll get results
I used to do 4 super-sets of
25 push-ups
25 jumping sqats
25 v-ups
Though i was never consistent, it did increase my endurance by multiple times.
I did the 100 push ups a day challenge for the kids of St. Jude. However some days I took a one day break to heal, and bounced back to do 254 the next day. The results were amazing. But I must admit, I need to work on my form because my lower back was shot after the month was over. Thank you for your contributions and educational tutorials. God Bless, Semper Fidelis!
im 13 on day 3 of this challenge, it has really boosted my confidence
Good 👍 keep going
It would be interesting to see a similar video about squats.
I do 80 - 100 pushups with every workout, which is about 6 days/week. I've eased into this over a period of probably 6-8 months starting by doing 1 set of 25 per day, which became a set of 25 + a set of 10, then 25 + 20, then 25+ 20 + 10 etc until my current routine which is 25 + 25 + 15 + 15 OR 25 + 25 + 25 + 15 +10. I've noticed that over this 6-8 months I can see development in my upper chest, front of my shoulders, core, pretty much what you'd expect. The results are not dramatic but i do it for core strength and a bit of explosive chest strength (for boxing). If you want more muscle growth you should probably get to a point where you can do 200 push ups in 10 - 15 minutes, then do this only once or twice a week. I think you'd get more hypertrophy that way, not necessarily strength, but it would help you look pretty good.
I have been doing a couple hundred raised push ups for a few months during Corona and honestly, the results are great. But you have to absolutely nail the form and incorporate some variants to mix it up, like archer push ups etc. to keep up the challenge. Would I recommend doing 100 push ups a day? As a challenge, absolutely, as a substitute for a balanced workout, no way.
I have started doing 50 a day too , but then I find it very difficult a certain times to get myself back up . my arms lose strength and sometimes I wonder if this what I am doing is really helping my body , like am i doing it right . could you suggest me anything on how to keep up
@@amarshetty389 Take longer breaks for a start.
An intense, explosive workout has its own merits but sometimes it helps a lot to rest for 2-3 minutes when you want to really push yourself and especially when you are trying to improve, many studies have shown that it helps to improve - the only downside is that it takes more time.
Also, keep in mind that while you will get stronger eventually, there is no magic fix and not being able to go further is usually actually a good sign that you are on the right track.
As long as your form is excellent ( focus on really pushing up all the way while sort of flexing the muscles as much as possible when you are at the lowest and the highest point but I would ask google or perhaps a very trustworthy AI for the exact form since it’s a bit difficult for me to translate ), you are doing everything right and just need a bit more patience.
Something that helped me a lot in general when it comes to form was to train the mind muscle connection - take your arm while you are for example standing and do the movement while focusing on the muscle groups in question, perhaps even feel the tension with your hand.
One last thing: focus on slowly reaching further than your initial mental breaking point, the exact rep range doesn’t matter as much as much as that you really go slightly further than your comfort zone, even if you have to basically do “drop” sets ( in this case, do 10 clean ones and despite despite feeling maxed out, do another 5 and finally an additional 3 - keep in mind that the numbers I am giving you are not written in stone but more like a vague guideline of scale that should fit your current / future ability and be personalised to fit your needs ).
Conclusion:
Push ups ( body weight exercises in general ) are a bit unforgiving that way because unlike anything done with weights, you can’t just up the difficulty in small steps as easily and doing new variants/additional exercises without having gotten significantly stronger ( or heavier ) is difficult too.
Basically, you are on the right track. Sleep/eat/rest enough and you should get better.
PS:
Please, keep in mind that while I am experienced, I am not someone who studied this BUT tbh., working out isn’t all that difficult ( I warmly recommend a video by a dude named NeoShred titled “looking fit is easy/free workouts”.
It’s not a click bait.
I used to overthink my training routine way when I really got into personal fitness yet honestly, it really is “easy”.
When you watch enough content, you will hopefully get what I mean by that, if you haven’t already done so on your own.
The sweet spot isn't doing it everyday. For me it was with a two day break in between, best results personally
i salute your hustle Sir. First time ive saw your video lol. 5.47 million subs , and a fitness app. Damn you really are killing it ! ;) Hope you all the success in the future. You're an inspiration to the youth of today!
I have been doing 100 pushups a day for a month and I have definitely seen a difference. My chest is more defined and I can see my shoulder vein without a pump witch I could not see when I started. It is actually a lot easier than it seems.
I’ve actually done the challenge and I noticed first week was hard but it gets easier each week after I was done with the challenge it grew my muscles and increased how many I could do in a row by almost 30 also helps your form a lot

So I’m going to try this out. Are there any tips for faster muscle recovery, or more muscle growth throughout the process like any supplements I could take? Would creatine counteract the inability of longer muscle recovery?
it all depends on your fitness rate if ur strugling to do 8 pushups in a row u should defenetly not aim to do 100 a day if ur able to do 25/30 pushups in a row than going for 100 is np.
Note in order to improve your stamina/strenght u need to do more than u can meaning u need to start feeling ur arms shaking and soar before ur done with ur working and yes doing pushups everyday is not good what i do is i do a 5km run 1 day the other day i do pushups and repeat 1 day cardio 1 day strenght training u will have significant improvement in 2 months u wont be able to recognize urself if ur a beginer.
Note dont do a 5km run if ur out of shape doing 1/2km run is still good your goal should be to feel tired afther the run not injure yourself.
No no no no. if you are new to working out you have 3 things. Your workout program, nutrition, and sleep. If you don't eat or like greens maybe a vegetable supplement yeah or vitamins? Don't worry about it. And as for Creatine you would need to stay on it to keep benefits also it takes 2-4 weeks for creatine to really start working. Unless you plan on really taking fitness seriously don't worry about anything but the holy Trinity Workout eat and sleep.
