The Benefits of Doing Push-Ups Throughout The Day 

50 jumping jacks, 50 mountain climbers, 50 squats, 50 push ups, and 15 minutes of stretching. Quick & Easy, and it gets me ready for the work day.

After a reconstructed shoulder I had to go back to push-ups on my knees to help strengthen the ligaments and joint. Slowly but surely I’m building myself back

I've been doing this for years, I call it "The Parent Workout".

So true, doing a set of push ups in the morning made a huge difference in my energy and concentration through out the day.

Been doing push ups, pull ups, squats and some core exercises for 3 weeks, the only liquid that I drink is water and coffee(without sugars or anything), and I am a lot more conscious on what I eat. I'm now also starting to notice some difference on my body.

Pushups, pullups and cardio, simple, not complex, its a pretty solid goal

I'm living proof of everything these guys are saying - I'm 54 and a woodworker for over 30 years - I can get up off the couch and do 20 pull-ups - I can bend at the waist, touch the floor walk with my arms into a plank and do 50 push-ups then walk back on my hands and stand up - All because I do "something" every day... And I still beat myself up over thinking I don't do enough - I'm also a Marine vet which all my friends point out to me as if that's the only reason I do all this and they can't/don't - I'm always trying to get my friends to do anything and it's worked on a lot of them. I was on a road trip for a couple months this fall and trained a pal from HS wile I was home - While I was there he went down a shirt size and two holes on his belt... Just do SOMETHING every day - As far as real workouts, stick to the 70% rule, just put 70% effort into real workouts - this way you'll do it every day - If you beat yourself up and get too sore, you won't work out the next day...

I always say on my channel "the best workout is the one you do." Gonna share this video in a swipe up IG story right now, LOVE the simple, clear, common-sense advice in this segment, thanks for sharing!

In late 2020 I started walking half a mile and doing 40 pushups a day. Currently I run 1.5 - 2 miles and 100 push-ups @ 30-40 reps each 5 days a week.

You guys are going to blow up, just keep putting out this good content

I really, really like this mindset. Thanks for sharing guys, good talk.

Great podcast- love the content! I can definitely relate to what was said in terms of being more active after a workout and doing cleaning instead of sitting on the couch!!! Plus that feeling you get in the sense of accomplishment! Positive vibes 👍♥️♥️

I agree. I started two months ago with push ups, bicep curls and dips and now and then pull ups. I have a crazy body transformation. I actually gained muscle . I look solid at 140 pounds and madly in love with my body

Thanks for this podcast guys

I had 100 press ups on my to do list for ages. Today I just went for it which led me to complete other things on my list too and actually shave my hair short. I think exercise and pushing yourself can have a knock on effect for so many things. You feel strong.

I freaking love this podcast thanks youtube recommended

I actually do this with my kettlebells. I put it in an area of my house I consistently walk through. Every time I walk by I do either 5 swings, clean, snatch, squat or dead lift. And if I walk by without doing it the next time I tac on an extra 5.

You guys have a great show, been listening to the podcast for a while

I've been telling people this for years, but most people would rather have a cut bodybuilder physique. No weights needed, the bare minimum will keep you fit. You like TV?...fine when a commercial comes on do some push ups ect. It builds practical strength. Plus you have more time than you realize. No matter their size, I've seen multiple people who do this outmanuever those who don't. It's so easy!... Yet so hard for people to buy into.

You literally just reinforced what I've been doing the last two months

I've done this for a week and I already feel like I'm a UFC contender lol

I’ve been doing this the last 3 years when I reached 56 . This is great advice

50 used to be normal for me years ago. Now I’m far from it. I’m at the start now, but I discipline my day to include push-ups. I waste time playing video games so I make myself do 10 push-ups every time I lose before I can play again. Honestly I’m happy I found the drive and for me to keep this energy positive I scale it down to short term goals because 20 and 50 psyched me out before, but scale it down to 5 or 10 I can totally do. I’m at 150 a day and looking to get it to 500 by the end of week one. Short term goals like this for me is attainable and nurtures my motivation to still be there tomorrow and the day after

I work at a very intense computer job where I sit in front of a screen for hours. For the last year I have taken breaks throughout the day to do pushups dips pull-ups squats and crunches. Really helps...

I went in alcohol rehab 26 years ago. Up at 7a.m. to clean toilets then gym before breakfast. The gym guy set us a series of warm ups that I have done ever since, and it leads my brain to getting positive and wanting to do more healthy exercise. Ran a marathon this year under 4hrs and have just got to stage of doing ten pull ups. Daily preasups in sets of ten whenever I make a cup of tea. Keeps me sane and pretty healthy.

Happy i just discovered this channel

Awesome video.very informative. 👍🔥👊

This is how I’ve been working out for a long time now. Push-ups pull-ups body weight squats or goblet squats with a kettle bell or dumbbell. Recently I’ve bought some bands and WOW I’m VERY impressed with bands I love how I can pretty much mimic any machine in the gym with bands. Game changer

Yes - great points. Doing sets of 50 push-ups regularly through the day. Great benefits!

came across this clip awhile back and just popped up again in my feed.... i been doing 100 pushups minumum a day and my triceps and chest has blown up in addition to just doing full body a couple days a week....my push up skill is insane and am now able to do far more pushups, was able to get a much better connection with my chest. cannot wait to do this with dips and pull ups :)

This is what I needed to hear. I wasn’t sure if the pushups had to be consecutive. Now I feel good doing five daily sets of twenty.

So glad I just discovered this podcast!!!!!

Doing this 100% worked for me. I've been doing it for 7 months, while correcting my horrible posture & shoulder issues so maybe took a week off a few times. I've grown quite a bit and become much stronger. I'm 50 and was immobile due to illness for 15 yrs.

How has this podcast not blown up?

I’ve been on a (Day 1: Pushups, Day 2: Core, Day 3: Legs, Day 4: rest) and repeat/build cycle for the past few months and tbh I love this so much more than going to the gym. Coupling that with jogging or going for trail walks and I’ve found a lot of peace of mind + feelings of accomplishment in this consistency. Seeing results too!

Im 44 im not a gym freak but i go on off for few yrs but since lockdown i bought sum weights for my cellar , but now i do 100+ press ups 50 squats an doin 25+ burpees every day now .

Thanks guys. I know it’s been a year since this came out but it’s good info.

Is this AKA greasing the groove? You guys rock btw. Such a great channel.

This advice has been phenomenal to my progress and mental fortitude. I crushed my bench PR from years ago, gained some mass and push up volume greatly increases after a couple of months. I do need to take a break from time to time since I can bang out some impress numbers every attempt now

Experts: "maybe there is a benefit to doing pushups throughout the day." The Army:

Crushing pushups and pull-ups changed my life

I’ve been doing this for a couple months, multiple reps of 33 at a time. Highly recommended!

great real advice

When I was in the Army, working an office job, we used to do 10 push-ups at 9 o'clock, 20 push-ups at 10 o'clock, 30 push-ups at 11....etc. Just something to do while you're in an office job. That was a bit too much by the end of the day.

I’ve been doing 200 push ups then 40 minutes free weights straight after for over a year now and I’ve been getting incredible results🤟💪

I’ve been running 2-4 miles 5 days a week. I haven’t messed with my diet, still eating fast food, but I feel better. Just recently added push-ups on my 2 off days. I plan to start eating healthy here soon. I’ve lost about 20 pounds and look leaner. Big difference.

I just started working out again after having surgery a few weeks ago, and while I can't really lift any weights yet, I've been able to do some calisthenics. I try to do around 100 push-ups each day. Every two days, I do a 25-30 minute no-gym workout which combines push-ups, squats, butt ups and burpees. It's a killer workout that really works a sweat. I've been keeping this rhythm going for a few weeks, and I can already see the results. My shoulders are getting bigger, as are my arms. I know about muscle memory and all that, but this is the first time I'm seeing it in action.

Great video. I subscribed. This conversation has to be repeated over and over. Biggest misconception is training to failure. I'm not saying not to do it ever but to test your strength maybe once a month is adequate. Other than that consistency wins over intensity any day of the week.

I do pushups, situps, squats, and jogging. Changed my life.

Might try this tomorrow

Pushups, body squats, and pull-ups have kept my aesthetics looking great for two years since I moved into rural Cambodia.

Awesome thanks

Great call out for attaching a workout to something : i work from home on a computer and whenever I get up from the chair I do push-ups . Yes the transformation in just a week was crazy

Love thia Concepr. ive done this, and didn't think about it. But, your absolutely right. another cool thing ive done is i dont watch TV sitting on a Chair. i watch it on a Exercise Ball, and a 45 degree angle engaging my abbs.. after 30 mins of TV, Periodically holding that angle, burns my abs, and really works my core. try it. its awesome

Very good content amazing

I do agree with them surely it can be done I starter Doing from 50 in day now I do 300 bush day and night included and my body accepts it and it became just my normal routine if I don’t do it my body reacts and I keep on and I love doing it . Morning 100 afternoon 100 and before bed time 100 surely as go to the gym lifting becomes normal even though Iam footballer not American football Americans call it soccer I know it’s not big deal for Americans . I honestly do believe any thing in life requires massive dedication and commitment and handwork is all what we need only vamos vamos to all .

Greasing the Groove. There's no debate to be had about it.

Grease the groove. Very useful

Really good video , thanks, I have some push up stands on the kitchen floor , try to do 200 push ups a. Day , every day for the last 10 years , 58 now but it helps to maintain the shape , I’m 6.2 and 205 .

Started doing a 100 pushups a day in December last year. Getting up out of a chair and just knocking them out daily 25 to now 55 at a time, and now I'm up to 1300 a week. Sometimes I do 400 a day with a minimum goal of 1k a week. It creates that habit as mentioned and transferred into me getting back into running which has led me to drop my covid 30+ pounds and back to eating more healthy. Start small and create the momentum for change. Just be consistent, however small and the change will come.

I have a football manager addiction. So I’ve built my workout around it. Every time I lose or draw a game, I must do 50 squats. When I win, I do 25 push-ups. Target is 300 on squats and 200 on pushups.

O gosh!!! Thaaanks!!

I served in the USS Navy back in the day. Life was super boring on a ship. While working throughout the day, I'd did randomly do 30-50 pushups/squats. Almost like a game. Then hit the weight room. I was in good shape. These "mini" workouts are great as an older busy adult. Calisthenics burn a lot of calories, functional, and easy on the joints. Also gives you muscular endurance for pushing out extra reps when lifting weights. Its like staying ready so you don't have to get ready.

@mind PUmp Please do a video for hand release version of diamond push up. I know how to do hand release for the normal push up variation thanks to your video. But I need one for diamond.

I have been doing bodyweight exercises for the last 4 years. I look like i still lift weights. I feel healthier. I also do not have the stress of running back , forth to the gym. I will buy some dumbbells , and that is all i need.

I did 200-250 pushups in sets of 40 per day for a year. I now stopped as I find I was over working the muscle and losing recovery. It is however amazing to do for a year. I always do push-ups on chest day throughout the day to warm up the muscle and get more reps in.

Sal with the BJJ knowledge

I work from home and have a pullup bar in the doorway right next to me. I do 10 pullups on every hour from 8am-5pm. That's 10 pullups per our for 10 hours =100 pullups a day. It take me 10 seconds to do 10 pullups so my total workout time is 1 minute forty seconds.

At least 80-100 pushups & situps everyday for a few yrs. Running 1.5-2 miles, 4 days a week, then 50-100 hindu squats 3 days a week. Only weights I've touched are a light barbell and 30-35lb dumbbells for biceps & forearms. Also add neck bridges four days a week before bedtime. This was basically my exercise routine while Boxing as a kid/teenager. Worked great back then & continues to do so!

Great now make a video explaining what a “trigger session” is

First heard this from Pavel Tsatsouline. Kool.

Beautiful, but need to give actual facts of what they do . 50 push ups is Short intensity = fast metabolic heart rate = metabolic phase ( calorie burning) Muscle endurance + Muscle fiber tear over time creates more lean mass and definition in the muscle. Easy on joints , can develop both fast twitch and slow twitch fiber for athletes, builds relative strength in the push motions and depending on hand place meant can widen or condense Chest

I do 100 jumping Jacks and 40-50 squats each AM just while waiting for my coffee to brew each morning. It’s like 3 mins each day. I have trouble doing pushups with weak wrists and have to revert to a closed fist pushup when I do them.

yo this is so true I’m a warehouse lumper unloading freight I got a big back and shoulders.

I've been doing 100 push ups a day for quite a while now. It loosens me up first thing in the morning. I usually do 50 after waking up then do the other 50 throughout the day. I also have a pull up bar on the bedroom door that I need to just use every time I walk past it. Even if it's only one pull up. Good advice guys!

I started a little over a month ago doing 100 pushups a day. To start I had trouble doing 25 pushups in 1 sessions. Now I can do 100. I also hadn't benched in a year and a half, but I went to the gym last week and hit a bench PR without a spot

Easy Strength, Dan John, Pavel Tsatsouline.

How does this impact upper body strength training on other days, ie joints and connective tissue?

This shit works! I also took into consideration of Joe Rogan's podcast with an interviewer who I forgot the name of. In summary, he doesn't go hard in his MMA / strength & conditioning workouts at all. He does everything with a good amount of effort without tiring or pushing his limits because he's going to do it again the next day and the day after, and in the end you ultimately lose hours in the art you're focusing on. Another thing is the book called "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. I used his habit building method to do callisthenic movements everyday. For example: Do 10 pushups waking up, 10 Pullups exiting my room, 10 Squats going up the stairs, etc. You can make whatever works for you! These guys got it right.

Work on a boat in the Wheelhouse so my Physical working is nill. I do Puships All during the day. Will drop and pop out 20, half our later or if situation permits do another 10-15 and do this all during my shifts. Feel great just turned 60 have a BMI of 23% and just can't seem to break 190 lbs.

Started to do 150 reps a day a few weeks ago, spread them over the afternoon (it's winter and it's cold and dark and don't have much to do) i do 50 push, 50 pull, 50 legs. For example 2 sets of 20 pushups, 10 dips, than 10 pullups and 2 sets of 20 inverted rows, legs 2 sets of 15 goblet squats, 20 split squats. If i feel myself i add more different exercises and/or more sets but never go below 150.

I do 100-300 every other day! Set alarm every 6 min and do 10-25! Do 25 air squats after pushups! Works great for me!

Lately ive been doing a set of wide pullups every hour or so or whenever i get a chance with a set of pushups, throughout the day. Find this much more effective as i live a busy life with kids and work

I do 250 pushups 6 days a week. My friend and I initially started with 600 for one shifts per week, then to 1200; then to 2000 per week.

The best I ever got at pull ups: I put a bar in my house, every time I walked under to the left, 5 pull ups, and when I went under to the right, 5 chin ups.

My workout if anyone wants to get shredded like kratos Chin ups ( easier and more bicep) Push ups Bicep curls Skullcrusher Squats Abs and l sit holds if you got the ab strength Add five reps to each exercise once a week. Do it for 3 months. Do it 5 times a week

This is how I originally got fit and into working out, definitely helps. Now I’ll bust push ups at 1 am at work outside on my breaks lol, come home and work out around 11 am

i do 42 floors stairs moving down once a week and it is better 7 more effectice than deadlifts & squats & every other leg gym workout

I started jumping rope. 5 min a day, kept screwing up. 1st week my ankles and bottoms of my feet were sore as hell. Now I’m up to 17 min a day, and I feel fantastic, and I can go longer and faster.

I always do push-ups but never been a pull up guy gonna have to get use to it

"Grease the groove."

I got inspired by Tom Hardy's Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. He worked out under a workout program called Bulk Matrix. Doing different kinds of pushups throughout the day. I did it for maybe 2 months before quitting. And I became HUGGGGGEEEE. And as strong as a bison. I was 22 then. Now I'm 28. Thinking of restarting the bulk matrix.

damn. i learnt something new today

consistency trumps everything

I looove Justin's cap. Where can i get one?

bought ring pull up straps for like $20. best purchase for my home gym besides my kettlebells. gettin beefy

This is real. Doing this with loaded carries, pull ups, squats, kb swings, push ups, dips, rows, handstands, burpees, l sits, etc has had a huge benefit for me

I get better pump from high rep burpees, push-ups, dips, and pull ups than I did from heavy bench pressing tbh. Guys, work up to 150- 200 burpees 2- 3 mornings a week. On the right macros you can look amazing

Pull ups Sit ups 3 mile run 880 run. Ammo can lifts MUF.

I experiemted with squat singles with heavy weights all day. Technique and power went through the roof. Humans are the most adaptive organism ever.
