January challenge: TWO PUNCH MAN workout
Dec. 31st, 2018 07:43 pmYou might be familiar with an anime called ONE PUNCH MAN. It's about a superhero who's so strong that he can defeat any opponent, including giant kaiju monsters, with a single punch. I've never seen it, but I've become familiar through memes, etc.
Part of the joke is that he got this strong by doing the following workout: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10km running. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
And that's a very achievable workout for a person in pretty good shape. I have been in good enough shape to do that, at times. Seems like you could hurt yourself through overtraining, though, esp. running that far with no days off.
For January, I'ma do what I'm calling the TWO PUNCH MAN WORKOUT, which is just half of that. 50 reps of strength things, and 5K of running (or elliptical, depending on how I'm feeling -- we have an elliptical machine at our house).
Hope you're ready for the rest of my hair to fall out due to my IMMENSE POWER.
