Intro: Sometimes the most effective workouts are the simplest. No equipment, no excuses — just you and the floor.

This RB100 challenge gives you a choice: pick a classic bodyweight movement and perform 100 total reps. Whether that’s squats, lunges, dips, or push-ups, the result is the same — a solid base of functional movement and muscular endurance.

Choose Your Movement

  • Air squats
  • Push-ups (any variation)
  • Lunges (50 per leg)
  • Dips (on parallel bars or a bench)
  • Step-ups (weighted optional)
  • Glute bridges

You can stick to one or combine a couple to create a superset challenge (e.g. 50 squats + 50 push-ups).

Suggested Structures

  • 4×25 or 5×20 with rest
  • Add to end of a run or strength session as a finisher
  • EMOM style: 10 reps every minute for 10 minutes

Benefits

  • No equipment required — perfect for travel or home
  • Reinforces core bodyweight patterns
  • Great for building tendon and joint resilience
  • Supports fat loss, mobility, and consistency

Tips for Success

  • Use perfect form — depth in squats, full extension in push-ups
  • Elevate hands or feet to scale difficulty
  • Time yourself and try to beat your record next week
