Just wanted to take a moment to introduce you to a great fitness concept I recently got introduced to......
Created by top strength coach Rannoch Donald, the 100 Rep Challenge is as simple as it sounds. Each and every day you should aim to perform 100 perfect repetitions. The repetitions can be done with a single exercise or split up into several different exercises. You can use one or two very long sets, or many shorter sets, it doesn't matter. Just get 100 perfect repetitions done per day.
Over the course of a week that is 700 repetitions which will go a long way to replacing the daily wood chopping, hunting, farming activities of our ancestors! As well as burning energy you will be building movement skills, strength and stamina, a winning combination!
It is important to note that the 100 Rep Challenge is not intended to replace your workouts, it is merely a baseline level of activity that we should all strive to achieve on a daily basis. What a great concept!
I have been giving it a shot in recent weeks using a variety of calisthenic movements, kettlebell drills and resistance cables. Normally I do my 100 Reps first thing in the morning when I wake up to get the blood flowing, it is a great way to blow off the cobwebs of a nights sleep.
Here are some of my favorite combination's so far.....
- 25 Kettlebell Swings (Right Hand)
- 25 Double TNT Chest Press
- 25 Kettlebell Swings (Left Hand)
- 25 Double TNT Rows
- 50 Bodyweight Squats
- 50 Push Ups
- 10 Push Ups
- 10 Kettlebell Swings
- 10 Bodyweight Rows
- 10 Climbers
- 15 Push Ups
- 15 Kettlebell Swings
- 15 Bodyweight Rows
- 15 Climbers
In the meantime I strongly recommend you check out the 100 Rep Challenge Website for some ideas and inspiration. There is even a facebook page with over 1000 members......join in and get involved!
