The Experiment
I committed to doing 30 squats and 30 pushups daily for the month of August 2021.
My Experience
I was on the road for the majority of the month. I was always able to squeeze in this workout. It takes about 3 minutes to complete. I liked that it didn’t require equipment nor a warmup. I found myself doing the workout in the natural breaks of my days. I was a bit sore in the first few workouts. I was able to easily do the 30 pushups in a row after about a week of doing three sets of ten reps. This workout could also be substituted with 60 full burpees or any other exercises that you prefer.
Takeaways
- This workout was key for traveling. I will keep it in my travel toolkit.
- I won’t keep doing this workout on a daily basis.
- However, I will attempt to maintain my minimum to 30 pushups in a row.
- That said, I will keep dropping down to do 30 in the natural transitions of the day every now and then.
