Intro: Some of the most effective workouts are also the simplest. With the RB100 philosophy, one of the most fun ways to train is to build your own 100 rep challenge. It’s quick, intense, and requires zero gear — just your body and some grit.

Whether you’ve got 10 minutes or 30, this style of training works for strength, cardio, or skill-based goals. Plus, it’s easy to adapt for home, gym, or travel.


How It Works

Pick 4–5 movements and assign reps that total 100. Here are a few formats to get started:

Classic 5 x 20:

  • 20 push-ups
  • 20 squats
  • 20 mountain climbers (each leg)
  • 20 sit-ups
  • 20 jumping jacks

Descending Ladder:

  • 40 air squats
  • 30 push-ups
  • 20 jumping lunges
  • 10 burpees

Core Focused:

  • 25 V-ups
  • 25 flutter kicks (each leg)
  • 25 sit-ups
  • 25 mountain climbers

HIIT Format:

  • 5 rounds of 20 reps: alternate cardio & strength moves, e.g. squat jumps + push-ups

Make It Yours

  • Time it — aim to improve each week
  • Add music and treat it like a game
  • Challenge a friend to also complete the build your own 100 rep challenge(or post your time on socials with #RB100Challenge)

Why 100 Reps?

  • Easy to remember and commit to
